Here are 4 red flags you should ALWAYS look out for before buying
THREAD
1. Artificial colors
That hot pink or tropical blue dye you see in lots of products is completely unnecessary
Those colors are synthetically made in a laboratory and don't belong in your body
Not worth the carcinogenic risk
Common ones are: Red 40, Yellow 5 & Yellow 6
Avoid

2. Soy
Soy is the most pesticide-sprayed crop on the planet
Many brands choose to incorporate it in different products to add protein & cut costs at the same time
Any time you see the word soy on a label, you're better off not buying it

3. Sweeteners
Just like artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners are unnecessary
There are many healthier options like Stevia or Monkfruit that most quality brands stick to
Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium & Saccahrin cut costs like crazy
Stay away from fake sugars

4. Seed Oils
Tons of whey protein brands put seed oils in their product to lower fat content
In doing so, they add Omega 6 which is inflammatory
Inflammation = disease
Kind goes against protein shakes being "healthy" for you
Look out for Sunflower, safflower, corn & soybean
