Now that I think about it, there is no scientific proof that protein shakes work and I'm not just pissing it out
Also whey protein is one of the worst form of protein as it is made from literally useless leftover.

>Although the results of this study suggest the melamine found in 47% of products is under the "tolerable" level, this stacks up with multiple uses of multiple use. Longer term exposure to this is totally fucked.
>but if you take supplements, buy expensive ones from established companies.

>Health risks of protein drinks
>You don't need the extra protein or the heavy metals our tests found
dont get poisoned and if youre not willing to buy the expensive ones eat REAL food; eggs and milk are dirt cheap
