This just in! Ever wonder what drives athletes to undertake these amazing feats of stamina and endurance? Read on... Consumer Reports, a monthly review of consumer products and services, recently found that three popular protein drinks were packing more than just chocolate. EAS Myoplex Original Dark Chocolate Shake and two versions of Muscle Milk chocolate drinks had high levels of arsenic, cadmium and lead. Consumers Union tested three servings' worth of protein drinks -- a typical amount people drink in one day. Cadmium is a metallic element. It has primarily been used in paints, coatings and batteries. Exposure in humans can cause significant kidney and lung damage. Arsenic and lead are also naturally occurring metallic elements that have varieties of uses in industry from insecticides to electronics. But when consumed, they can cause cancer and brain damage. Ah, there's the key right there. Turn up the music, willya?
