I am not sending this to you to SCARE you, or have you STOP DRINKING PROTEIN drinks, but just to inform you.
You may want to write to the company of your favorite Protein drink for more details and/or comment. Don’t be surprised if you get the “our product meets all the Federal mandated guidelines when it comes to xxxxxxxxx" rhetoric spiel (just my cynical nature)
