According to a recent study published in Consumer Reports, 15 of the most popular protein shakes on the market contain various levels of heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury.)
The article does point out that there are maximum limits for these metals determined by the US Pharmacopeia, meaning that some ingestion of these metals is considered safe. But if you ask me, why would you want to consume any amount of toxic material when there are safer alternatives available?
Arsenic is a known poison and carcinogen. Lead is also connected to cancer, as well as birth defects and lowered intelligence. Mercury is connected to brain, liver, and lung damage along with sensory impairment, and cadmium can create respiratory problems, renal failure, osteoporosis, loss of smell, and cancer.
Heavy metals can build up in the body over time, so you should never think that just because a drink has a tiny little amount in it that it's safe and will not cause effects down the road.
So now for the good news. Shaklee has a line of protein shakes (both soy and whey) that are completely natural, completely safe, and do not and have never contained even the slightest trace of heavy metals. Plus they taste fantastic and make a very economical meal replacement.
But the really exciting thing about Cinch is that it's powered by Leucine, which preserves your muscle mass (so you actually lose fat, and not muscle). No other protein shake on the market has that!
