您的蛋白粉安全吗？报告显示重金属含量较高

植物基粉末、巧克力粉末和有机蛋白粉末的铅或镉含量最高，近一半的测试粉末超出了加州 65 号提案的限制

A new report has found that popular protein powders, especially those that are plant-based, organic, or chocolate-flavored, may contain concerningly high levels of lead and cadmium.

一份新报告发现，流行的蛋白粉，尤其是植物蛋白粉、有机蛋白粉或巧克力味蛋白粉，可能含有较高含量的铅和镉。

The report, published Monday by the Clean Label Project, analyzed 160 protein powders from 70 popular brands for various contaminants, including heavy metals and hormone disruptors. While specific brands were not named, the findings are raising eyebrows among health-conscious consumers.

清洁标签项目周一发布的这份报告分析了 70 个热门品牌的 160 种蛋白粉中的各种污染物，包括重金属和激素干扰物。虽然没有透露具体品牌的名称，但研究结果引起了注重健康的消费者的关注。

Key Takeaways from the Report:

报告要点：

- Among the different types of protein powders, those made from plant proteins (such as soy, rice, and peas) were found to contain lead levels that were, on average, three times higher than powders primarily based on whey, a byproduct of cheesemaking.

- 在不同类型的蛋白粉中，由植物蛋白（例如大豆、大米和豌豆）制成的蛋白粉的铅含量平均比主要基于乳清（奶酪制作的副产品）的粉末高出三倍。

- Organic protein powders also showed a worrying trend, with lead levels that were, on average, three times higher and cadmium levels that were, on average, twice as high compared to non-organic protein powders.

- 有机蛋白粉也呈现出令人担忧的趋势，与非有机蛋白粉相比，其铅含量平均高出三倍，镉含量平均高出两倍。

- Chocolate-flavored protein powders had significantly higher heavy metal levels than vanilla-flavored powders. On average, chocolate-flavored powders contained four times more lead and up to 110 times more cadmium than their vanilla-flavored counterparts.

- 巧克力味蛋白粉的重金属含量明显高于香草味蛋白粉。平均而言，巧克力味粉末的铅含量比香草味粉末高出四倍，镉含量高出 110 倍。

The report highlights the concerning presence of heavy metals in the food chain and the importance of making informed choices to minimize exposure to these harmful substances.

该报告强调了食物链中重金属的存在，以及做出明智选择以尽量减少接触这些有害物质的重要性。
