Very interesting, and concerning that the plant based proteins are highest in lead. I am like halfway through 2 kilos of soy protein right now...
plant proteins are cheaper and lower quality than whey protein.
also plants adsorb lead from the soil. they don't filter it out.
so cheap protein has high level of lead....
Yea, but is a little surprising since the cows are eating plants. Usually pollutants become more concentrated the higher up the food chain the organism is.
Stop now; better late than never!
