Giving up whey protein powder
I read a study today that an artificial sweetener (not the one used in my whey protein powder) causes blood clots and heart attacks. I use ON, and after checking the label I see that it uses sucralose (not the sweetener in the study) and long term use of it can lead to health problems. I’ve decided that after using up what I have left, I’m not buying it again. I’ll use plain non-fat Greek yogurt and cinnamon in my oatmeal.
One benefit will be saving a lot of cash that I would otherwise be spending on whey, about $380/year. I was buying it every other month.
If you gave up whey protein powder, what is your story and reasoning behind it?

Whey powder is the most overrated shyt I've ever taken tbh, but that's just my personal experience. I ditched it a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. That said, everyone is different so you need to take your personal situation and goals into consideration.

Listen, ON protein powder is essential for working out. Of course you're going to find studies trying to scare you from using it. They literally do that with everything you ingest. If they can't find anything they just say it causes cancer.

I still use whey powder. It's nice and convenient to mix up a protein shake real quick. One thing I hate the most about bulking is the seemingly non-stop food prep, eating, then washing dishes… then 30 minutes later I feel I could eat again.

This morning I cooked one cup of oats and water in the microwave, and when it cooled off I added one cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt from Costco and two teaspoons of cinnamon.
It actually didn’t taste bad at all, I’m doing this from now on.

why ?
it's good protein. full of b vitamins and minerals like any other protein source.
don't fall for the meme that whey isn't "real food"
The problem is grown men getting flavors like cookies and cream or double choc like they are 12 years old. All the problems with whey is always the additives. Unless you have a issue with dairy, whey is literally one of the best sources of protein for you.
get unflavored, 100% whey powder.
