NP. No they don't. The ones who do are loud and like to talk and post about it constantly.
It's absolute garbage. Eat real food. And no one needs near the amount of protein most people are claiming they need.

Too much protein is not good for your kidneys.

They're the same stupid people who take metamucil, benefiber, and the like because beans and sweet potatoes have too many "carbs."

Eat fish and/or chicken for the protein. Low fat cottage cheese. Protein powder is junk.

Most people don’t need supplements or powders. Eat real food. Mostly plants. Avoid additives. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.

Can't help but think that all of us buying this stuff at Whole Foods and the like have managed to convince ourselves that it's "healthy" but I'm not sure that this is anything different than a protein version of cinnamon toast crunch. The label may say all the right things but at the end of the day it's not real food. What do people think?
just eat FOOD
a hamburger
an avocado
nuts
a piece of fish
chicken wings

Your body needs wholesome, real food. It does not need protein powder to increase its protein uptake. Yes, protein powder is processed and ultimately not good for you, because you don't need the extra protein anyway and in the processing stage, any product can become contaminated with things you don't need or that could harm you.
Just like supplements are not tested for heavy metals or wrong dosages, and this is why it's always a good idea to only buy supplements that have the USP sticker, or some other reputable third party.

Of course it's processed junk.
Stop getting your "protein" from powders, and fiber from supplements.
Eat real food, people.
