Just thinking about how it seems like we are just starting to realize the full magnitude of how bad plastics are both for the environment and for human health%20and%20reduced%20fertility.)

Also thinking about the studies showing that cooking with gas stoves can be extremely bad for you.

What are some things you know about that aren't widely known to have similar ill effects?

      Since it's acidic it's not really good for much. Whey protein uses "sweet" whey, which is the byproduct whey from making certain kinds of cheese — it hasn't begun to ferment yet so its pH is above 5 and it can be used for stuff. Acidic whey is a byproduct from draining yogurts (this is how Greek yogurt is made thick - draining regular yogurt) and certain hard cheeses that have some pre-fermentation as part of their production process.

      I never really got the appeal of Greek yogurt tbh, regular thin yogurt has about the same nutritional content if you eat more of it
