Protein Powders Contain Very High Levels of Lead
Consumer Reports tested 23 protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes. Through this testing, it was found that approximately two-thirds of those tested contain more lead in a single serving than experts say is safe, which is under 0.5 micrograms a day.

Don't drink protein post workout, guys. Stick to tuna sandwiches.

The key is pescetarianism or a plant based diet.

The Okinawa diet comes from the Japanese island of Okinawa, known for having one of the world’s highest proportions of centenarians. It’s often studied as a model of longevity and healthy ageing.

Core Philosophy
“Hara hachi bu”: eat until you’re 80% full, a mindful eating practice that prevents overeating.

Focus on nutrient density over calories: lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from whole foods.

Emphasis on balance, simplicity, and seasonality.

You can do that if you want. I'm sticking to my current diet. I have never heard of any bodybuilder dying of lead poisoning.
I'm sure there will be articles that conflict with this one. I don't really see why these products need to exist. It's not something I'd even consider to be a good idea.

It's the cumulative effect of low grade inflammation over the years.

Studies on higher protein intake and longevity show complex results: high protein in middle age may increase mortality, particularly from animal sources, while high protein in old age appears linked to reduced cancer mortality and a lower risk of death in the very old. Plant-based protein consistently shows a beneficial link to longevity, regardless of age.

There's not much milk in the barren land of Almería.

I was always told 'you're not suppose to eat as soon as you get hungry (stay on schedule), and you shouldn't eat yourself full.'

Accusations are not convictions, but okay, bud. Whatever suits your narrative.
Yeah, Walrus, you should feel awful. How dare you!?!?

But if you are getting a check, can you put in a good word for me?
