Fears over damaged hearts - The West Australian


What's your take on this? Should I be concerned where my whey protein is coming from?

nothing to worry about, they are mainly going on about stuff like dmaa/craze , prework out stuff ,

typical media wouldn't know the difference between vitamin c tablet and roids , it's all supplements to them

Agree. Still with the protein powder debacle of late it shows we really have no fucking clue what's going into the supps we buy.

This is all about Pre-workouts.

Supplements are no real different to the other foods we buy - really we have no idea where they have been, what has been put on them etc....

In regards to buying your protein - buy it from well-known, branded companies....

Not much of a issue for the majority of supplements, if I cant read what's in it I generally don't take it and as rugby says stick to well known sources
I don't know why the news focuses on the fitness industry so much and how supplements are killing people.
Drugs, alcohol, smokes and inattention while driving killing more people then anything else.
I'm the token "gym" guy at work and I cop it everything something is in the news FFS!

Wrong on two points there.

Food we can see what we are getting. An apple should look like an apple. Chicken should look like chicken.

Second. The food industry is extremely highly regulated for health and safety reasons. The sup industry is virtually unregulated.

if you buy australian grown fruit/veg they will be free of harmful chemicals as they are strictly tested , when you buy imported produce they aren't tested anywhere near australian stuff

Still tested a lot more than any sup and I assume they still have to meet strict requirements.

I've had my heart damaged badly, by this hot chick, she left me for a tram driver.

Do you know how much shit I copped from my mates?
Who the fuck gets dumped for a tram driver?
We still have a lough about it.
