Chinese dairy may contain melamine. Melamine generally speaking is a plastic. About 2 years ago pets started getting sick and dieing across America, the culprit Melamine. Melamine was being found in major branded pet foods. The dogs and cats were eating these pet foods that contained Melamine and dieing. Why was Melamine in the food?
I don’t want to encapsulate the Chinese in general, Chinese companies could care less about morality and more about profits, even if it cost people their lives. Melamine can throw off an analysis test for protein. For example, let’s say a certain meat ingredient is supposed to contain 70% protein. The owner of the Chinese factory that sells the meat ingredient only has a 30% protein meat ingredient. This of course, costs much less than the 70% protein meat ingredient. The owner adds Melamine to the meat and when tested for protein percentage the meat ingredient now shows 70% protein. Nice huh? Thus he just made a killer profit because he just sold a 30% protein ingredient at the 70% price.
This is what the Chinese were doing with the pet food ingredients. For how long I’m not sure. But what happened was the Chinese suppliers were getting greedier, and greedier, and greedier, adding more and more melamine each time. Well guess what, finally their greed caught up to them. So MUCH melamine was added that it reached toxic, deadly levels, small dogs and cats starting dieing. Dogs not so much because dogs will stop eating when they feel they are getting sick. Cats are dumb and still ate all the heavily contained Melamine cat food, they died.
Are you starting to see the problem?
With the increase in demand for whey protein now in the Eastern part of the world, (I’m sure you noticed the increase in whey protein prices last year) the Chinese starting to make their own whey protein powder. And yes, you guessed it they started to put Melamine in the whey protein! Most companies have some form of protein that have melamine in there product endless they are manufacturing there own products with there own machines etc.
The supplement industry, especially the sports nutrition industry is made up of all Chinese raw materials. What do I mean by this? Well check out that Nitric Oxide product you are using. If you see things like creatine ethyl ester and L-arginine ethyl ester you are drinking Chinese made product.
You know that fat burner you are using, yea from China. The pro-hormone you are using, yea China. The creatine you are using, (with the exception of Creapure ONLY), yup China.
I would have to say more than 70% of the ingredients in your favorite non-protein supplements are made in China.
Ready for the scary part, protein. Yes, beware because you may have had importers of dairy ingredients bring in Chinese whey protein concentrate and isolate. If you think I’m bs'ing you better think twice. Remember what I just said before, (and I probably underestimated). MOST of the non-protein, sports supplements you are using are FROM CHINA. I just got off the phone with a company and they even said there previous company did get lot of there raw supply from china.
Listen I’m not going to write to much longer.
Here’s my warning. You better make sure you know damn well where your protein powder is coming from.
If a company can’t tell you where there protein powder is coming from, well then……Russian roulette need I say…..
. They assured me that nothing comes from China, and that all of their raws are tested before each batch. I would imagine that any reputable company would do the same.
