That cancer warning on your favorite protein powder might actually be proof it's the cleanest option in your pantry. I'm pulling back the curtain on the Just Ingredients lawsuit that's been blowing up your social feeds and covering why it might actually prove they're one of the good guys.
California's Prop 65 warnings have created a bizarre reality where companies using real, organic ingredients get penalized while synthetic alternatives fly under the radar. As an environmental attorney, I'll break down why Just Ingredients chose to stick with whole foods rather than switch to artificial flavors, even when faced with legal challenges.
By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped to see through the social media outrage and make truly informed choices about your supplements, staying "informed but not afraid" in this confusing wellness landscape.
• The truth behind California's Proposition 65 warnings and what they actually mean
• Why whole food supplements might trigger warning labels while synthetic ones don't
• The difference between naturally occurring trace elements and dangerous contamination
• How Just Ingredients maintains transparency through rigorous testing protocols (see their press release here)
• Why I still trust these products for my own family despite the controversy
