NOTE: Protein powders made with dairy proteins like whey had on average, 9 times less lead than plant-based protein powders.

Consumer Reports found most plant-based protein products it tested had elevated lead levels compared with animal-based products.

The lead levels in plant-based products were, on average, nine times the amount found in those made with dairy proteins like whey, and twice as great as beef-based ones.

Dairy-based protein powders and shakes generally had the lowest amounts of lead.

The first question the colore**al surgeon asked me at the first visit was how much alcohol I drank. "Not much" was an insufficient reply. She wanted to know how many ounces, how many times per week or per month, and what types. I will be writing more in the days ahead about colore**al health, including any reported association with alcohol consumption. https://www.bbdnutrition.com/articles/

We are finally breaking the stigma and talking about mental health. Men grow moustaches in November to raise awareness about prostate health, so it is time to move past embarrassment and talk about colore**al health. This is my first article in this area and is about ways to reduce the incidence of painful conditions related to hemorrhoids. An article related to alcohol consumption as a risk factor for colon or re**al cancer is next.

Note: This article was first written in November 2024 and has been completely updated. https://www.bbdnutrition.com/2025/10/10/hemorrhoids-more-than-the-butt-of-jokes/

Hemorrhoids are usually thought of as painful sores on the a**s that will heal in a few days with over-the-counter ointment.
