Whats the best protein powder

Not medical advice: Consumer Reports has revealed that the best and safest protein powders out of 15 popular products are Solgar Whey to Go, Jillian Michaels Natural Whey Vanilla Cream Shake, and SixStar Muscle Professional Strength French Vanilla Cream.

Did you know? Just 3 servings of EAS Myoplex Original Rich Dark Chocolate Shake contains arsenic and cadmium levels that exceed USP limits. USP limits define how much of these toxins can safely be consumed each day. Muscle Milk Chocolate powder ranked last out of all products because it tested positive for 4 toxic metals in addition to arsenic.

Lead, mercury, cadmium and other toxic metals consumed in low doses can eventually cause brain and kidney damage.

Milk, egg whites, and chicken provide as much protein as popular supplements without the side effects and the exorbitant cost.
