whey protein fake food?

[steinBird]

Did anyone see the article about how protein powder companies being sold at walmart were busted for putting garbage in them in place of whey to make the testing think its really whey protein? This was done by several companies including body fortress. I also read that they add in a lot of fake crap to boost protein dosing on the label like amino acids.

Whey protein is not fake food, there are fake amino acids of course but whey is cheap they rarely fake it.

companies will do this because they know that the FDA does not have the budget to test every brand. you need to stick to reliable companies only. i only recommend n2bm

I wouldn't call whey protein "fake" food but it is a very low quality processed cheese byproduct. Not something I consume.

There are a lot of ways they can spike the protein with cheap ingredients like coffee creamer and collagen that will show up as protein on the simple tests. This has been done for years by the large companies trying to squeeze out margins on millions of tubs produced. It is always best to shop from the smaller boutique brands that care more about quality for each customer and not the margins on huge wholesale orders of tubs.
