There was no control group doing the workouts without protein supplements?
There are already plenty of studies comparing results as a function of protein quantity.
You would still want it as a baseline comparison for the experimental groups.
What would you gain from that? We care about the difference between two interventions. We're not looking to determine whether an intervention has an effect or not.
Well the plant guys
So when presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, instead of changing your worldview you just reject reality? Most people grow out of that by age 3, but you do you.
These science dudes just want the tasty meats for themselfs
They are getting 9x times the lead according to a recent study... Which is horrifying. Not sure why it needs to have lead at all.
Plants have lead. So do animals, though apparently they can filter it a bit better.
But like we don't have the ability to filter it or purify it? I mean product before consumption, not in our bodies.
I'm assuming companies just skip it either out of a lack of knowledge, or to save money. I'm basing this on the fact that some brands have less lead than others. But this is just me making an assumption.
Complete tangent, but I am always curious who downvotes these threads? Like there isn't even anything controversial, did we piss off a supplement manufacturer or something?
On Lemmy? That would be hilarious.
I have no idea either tbh.
