I started my PhD thinking it would make me a “Dr.” — the ultimate proof that I’m smart.

I didn’t expect how deeply it would try to test and humble me.

Five years in, I’ve realized I hardly care about the prefix anymore.

@indian_hydra @karthickbala @YogieGompho Great initiative Sir. I am sure they must be even more curious now!

Hello, I have a fantastic Saturday morning read for you. In fact, you'll be engrossed in this the whole day.

As promised, we have published our disruptive project - the unique public-health project funded by @paraschopra to analyze common/well-known protein supplements sold in India.

Citizens protein project: A self-funded, transparent, and concerning report on analysis of popular protein supplements sold in the Indian market @theliverdoc @paraschopra @arifhussaintm

Full paper: https://t.co/EVUCPbzCh5

Popular 36 brands in all.

Here is an interesting fact: You will see that we have published the paper in a general medicine open access journal instead of a high impact nutrition/ sports journal. Well, we did submit this paper to multiple sports/ nutrition journals and not surprisingly, it was rejected from all of those - I wondered why and then found the answer. Many members of the editorial board, including editot-in-chief of those journals were "advisors," "consultants," or "promoters" of certain protein/supplement brands! Lot of conflict of interests for them to peer-review and publish our paper which openly took names and provided transparent analyses. Peer-review publishing is really broken in a sense. But then journals like Lippincott's Medicine provided a neutral ground for us to publish and also we could afford the additional open access fee indepedent of the full funding.

The total cost of funding this project is
INR 700,000 ($8400, by Paras)+INR 192,000 ($2300, by Liver Doc Team)=892,000 ($10700)

Please see the abstract section. Lot of information snippets are provided there. Also please read the whole study, our detailed finding and its implications. Focus on the supplementary files (which can be downloaded) and given at the end of the manuscript online.

Here is a short summary for protein users:
➡️Best whey - One Science & Ultimate Nutrition
➡️Best medium range whey- Nutrabox
➡️Best vegan protein- Origin
➡️Worst whey brand- Big Muscles
➡️Worst plant-based- Amway
➡️Worst brands advertised as best - Protinex/Ensure/B-protin
➡️Worst protein content- B-Protin, Ensure Plus, Bakson's Protein & Vegan by Big Muscles
➡️Brands that need extreme caution- Protein by Elements/Nutrilite by Amway [fungal toxins]
➡️Herbal blended proteins have more contaminants/pesticides than non-herbal

**If anyone (or a group) would like to indepedently fund [The Citizens Project] testing on other untested but popular brands, please do contact my group at : abbyphilips[at]theliverinst[dot]in**
