What Are the Dangers of Protein Shakes?
With the proliferation of gyms and the continuing American desire to “bulk up,” protein shakes have found their way into mainstream America. Initially just part of the bodybuilding culture, protein shakes now are available everywhere from the gym to storefronts at the local mall. Protein shakes are cold, blended drinks that usually include some type of fruit, dairy and a protein supplement. The hardest core protein shakes are made strictly from protein supplements mixed with either milk or water. Fitness enthusiasts often use these shakes as meal replacements or supplements to increase their protein intake. But, as with anything, there can be too much of a good thing.
