I’ll Pass on the Protein Powder https://nutritionstudies.org/no-whey-man-ill-pass-on-protein-powder/ Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:54:54 +0000 http://nutritionstudies.org/?p=10070 For the past fifteen years, I have been closely involved with the bodybuilding industry. I have an intimate understanding of how the industry operates. In a nutshell, it is sustained by the supplement companies that sponsor the athletes who represent them. This in turn inspires fans who admire the athletes to purchase the products they represent, thus creating a cycle that drives record sales and profits, all the while potentially harming the health of many involved in the industry later on down the line.
