TL;DR don't over-reply on these protein powders or shakes. Lots of bullshit from the manufacturers about following FDA, EPA, WHO and/or EFSA guidance, but as the report mentions, those groups don't regulate protein supplements.

The most(?) ridiculous thing about granola hippies/libertarians who support complete free-market capitalism is their utter lack of awareness that companies will literally kill the consumer to make money and lie while doing it. This is straight up why the FDA exists. "Medicine" that was actually just fucking poisons.

They taste nasty anyway.

Some people actually rely on these things to meet nutritional requirements. No need to take a shit on it
