Can’t speak for this specific blend sourcing they used in this study, but soy protein is usually cheaper in much of the world. It’s why most protein bars use soy protein isolate
Last time I looked into plant based. Like pea and rice protein. It was expensive af. Like double the price of whey per pound. Don’t know about soy pricing.
Both of those (pea and rice) are just starchy AF before processing. My best guess is that isolating pea/rice protein is a real bitch to pull off since most of it isn’t protein to begin with. Soy should be cheaper but that might be changing here real soon…
Which one is cheaper?
Idk about protien, but vegan food is typically 30% cheaper than the standard American diet.

plus all that free lead…mmm.
How many people are having issues with lead?
Now how about cholesterol? Which only comes from animal products.
Hint: cholesterol kills millions of people every year.
Seems like you only care about something if it fits into your bias.
Was gonna comment this. More people need to know about this
Makes sense
