Thanks for writing this post – the summary of lead levels in various fruits/​vegetables was especially interesting.
I also found this article helpful in unpacking the Consumer Reports study. My takeaways are (1) Huel is fine and (2) Consumer Reports is not as trustworthy as I thought.
Thank you—this was really useful to read. I think I strongly agree with both your takeaways, and probably won’t even get my blood tested now.
I also found it interesting that someone in the comments of that article mentioned that the claim about Chocolate might also not be true (another CR post). She also mentioned that this was how CR conducted their studies, which helps explain the very different numbers that CR got for lead levels, but I’m curious as to how she discovered this, and also why it lead to such higher numbers.
