   > most of it is soy
   
   Whey is sourced from milk, retard. Same with casein which is the second most popular. And even if you were to take 100% soy protein (which I would if it didn't taste like dog shit) there's absolutely no problem with it whatsoever, because "sOy Is EsTrOgEnIc" is literally just a meme among scientifically illiterate midwits.
   
   > worrying about GMO
   
   Another panic inducing unscientific meme.
   
   > Glyphosate
   
   This is the only worry that's reasonable at some basic level, but there's a thousand other things I'll worry about in life before I start worrying about my fucking protein powder being contaminated with carcinogenic weed killers, since I live in a European country with very strict regulation of foodstuffs.
   
   By the way, it's hilarious you'd complain about GMO and weed killers in the very same post, given that one of the primary purposes of GMO is to reduce the need for weed killers and the like. If you wanna spend three times as much on your food so you can have something involving neither GMO nor weed killers, knock yourself out.
   
   > typically loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners
   
   You can choose between sugar, sweeteners, or neither. The sugar content is usually quite low. My current protein powder reserves consist of an unflavored and unsweetened whey protein and a pure 100% soy protein, which I usually mix 50-50 because the soy one tastes like shit.
   
   Next time I'll actually just go back to buying a flavored whey one because it tastes so much better. I have no reason to worry about a small amount of sugar or sweeteners since I otherwise don't eat much junk food.

     @taylan @meowski @lain @cjd There's flavored whey protein on the market that doesn't have artificial sweeteners in them - Transparent Labs has whey protein that tastes acceptable without much sugar (1g per scoop, each scoop having 28g protein), and I think that's a good trade-off.
     
     I did have this discussion with Meowski before about protein powders and he is right that a lot of these powders have more sucralose in them than is entirely healthy. Not *all* of them, but certainly the one I was using when he brought it up at that point.
