CNN —Over-the-counter protein powders may contain disturbing levels of lead and cadmium, with the highest amounts found in plant-based, organic and chocolate-flavored products, according to a new investigation. Another key source of contamination in protein powders was chocolate flavoring, according to the report. “Chocolate-flavored protein powders contained four times more lead and up to 110 times more cadmium than vanilla-flavored powders,” Bowen said. Nearly 80% of the plant-based and organic protein powders tested were over the Prop 65 limit for lead. “For people following a fully plant-based diet, protein powders made from peas appear to have the lowest levels of heavy metals,” she said.

☆ Don’t bother with dietary supplements for heart health, study says
  + stars: | 2022-11-06 | by ( Jen Christensen | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —Six supplements that people commonly take for heart health don’t help lower “bad” cholesterol or improve cardiovascular health, according to a study published Sunday, but statins did. Some people believe that common dietary supplements – fish oil, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric, plant sterols and red yeast rice – will lower their “bad” cholesterol. The fatty deposits can block the flow of oxygen and blood that the heart needs to work and the blockage can lead to a heart attack or stroke. He calls these supplements “21st century snake oil.”In the United States, the Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act of 1994 sharply limited the US Food and Drug Administration’s ability to regulate supplements. “The good news, we know statins work,” Khera said.
