Made in China?

Amazing - the article speaks like this is about all protein drinks, not just a specific brand.

"Politics Daily" - I never heard of this newspaper.

Here are some high protein foods:
eggs
milk
beef
fish
lamb
tuna

I stopped Muscle Milk a while ago. Every so often a batch would taste very strange. It's a shitty product and company.

I hate taking protein supplements but you sort of have to if you work out. Supplement companies are pretty shady and don't really make anything themselves so you have to be careful.

Whatever, protein shakes contain: Cool, muscles, and the power to rock out

There are a hell of a lot of poisons in common foods and drinks, look out for Aspartame its a killer sweetener and even Flouride in your toothpaste is slowly killing us.

Why not just eat real food? Call me crazy...

I eat real food, but my body needs protein. I have a fan base of beautiful women that require me to look good for them.

Of course, which is why you have to make your own decisions. Based on the fact that different batches tasted quite a bit different, I figured the quality control was poor. Then when I emailed them about it, I never heard anything back for over two months. Now this story. That just adds up to a company I don't trust.

sounds like they are admitting that there are lead,mercury, etc, except it's below legal limits so all is good?

I hope my gf doesn't see that report. It would give her a valid reason not to swallow my man juice

I've discovered alcohol and drugs make you feel great even if you're really dying

and don't people work out and take health foods to feel great, yet they never do? they are always exhausted from working out and miserable from eating crappy tasting foods.

When I was working out non-stop for 36 months and eating healthy I never felt miserable. I felt great, full of energy all day everyday.

go watch Food Inc bro and then come talk to me about stuff like this..

chemicals exist in almost everything we eat...

i am not condoning this, but if i worried about everything that was harmful to me, i would kill myself because locking myself in my house isnt even safe...

Well, I don't want to shit on that cause it's probably true, cause I've felt that way too, but I don't feel like stopping drinking and drugs again presently LOL

optimum nutrition ftw

considering the amount of protein shakes some people consume, this could be an issue

i consider protein shakes to be real food eh. they are made from whey protein, which comes from cheese.
