Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports
CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
www.consumerreports.org
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements
we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Vibes are an underrated aspect of free speech. The First Amendment hasn't changed, but the vibes from this administration are that the gov't has the power to chill press freedom via threats. And so I'd expect these kinds of casual threats to continue until or unless courts emphatically quash them.

ah yes, the new york media experience
It's so cool how I've been so trained to expect horrible life-wrecking things when invited to a short-notice work meeting that I spent all morning with my heart about to explode, all for a meeting where my boss was like "how are you :) do you need anything"
