Seriously? What IS half this stuff?

Silicon Dioxide? Acesulfame? Micellar Casein? Seriously, WHAT IS THIS CRAP? haha. This is the label off of my protein powder that I bought not too long ago, thinking it was a great post work-out drink. WRONG. I literally can't pronounce 90% of this ingredient list, much less know what it is and where I can buy it. I just feel like this is the kind of stuff we shouldn't be putting in our bodies. I want to eat as clean as possible, and this super delicious protein powder does not fit with that. Yes, I said it was delicious.. but so are cupcakes and pizza. Don't mean it's good for ya!! ;)
Do me a favor... take a look at the back of your PROTEIN shake. Look for any of these three.... and if you see them.... put it in your trash can 

1. Soy lecithin: Comes from sludge left after crude soy oil goes through a “degumming” proces
s. It is a waste product containing solvents and pesticides and has a consistency ranging from a gummy fluid to a plastic solid.


2. Soy Protein Isolate: Contains chemicals that are associated with the development of Alzheimer’s and cancer. Also contains phytoestrogens which have been shown to cause rapid growth of breast cancer cells.


3. Mono-diglycerides: Basically another name for hydrogenated oil.

NO THANK YOU!
