> most of it is soy

Whey is sourced from milk, retard. Same with casein which is the second most popular. And even if you were to take 100% soy protein (which I would if it didn't taste like dog shit) there's absolutely no problem with it whatsoever, because "sOy Is EsTrOgEnIc" is literally just a meme among scientifically illiterate midwits.

> worrying about GMO

Another panic inducing unscientific meme.

> Glyphosate

This is the only worry that's reasonable at some basic level, but there's a thousand other things I'll worry about in life before I start worrying about my fucking protein powder being contaminated with carcinogenic weed killers, since I live in a European country with very strict regulation of foodstuffs.

By the way, it's hilarious you'd complain about GMO and weed killers in the very same post, given that one of the primary purposes of GMO is to reduce the need for weed killers and the like. If you wanna spend three times as much on your food so you can have something involving neither GMO nor weed killers, knock yourself out.

> typically loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners

You can choose between sugar, sweeteners, or neither. The sugar content is usually quite low. My current protein powder reserves consist of an unflavored and unsweetened whey protein and a pure 100% soy protein, which I usually mix 50-50 because the soy one tastes like shit.

Next time I'll actually just go back to buying a flavored whey one because it tastes so much better. I have no reason to worry about a small amount of sugar or sweeteners since I otherwise don't eat much junk food.
