Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The first thing that caught my eye about this product was the attractive price, so I decided to try Naked Whey and placed an order. I currently use a more expensive top undenatured whey protein brand from Northern California which its milk is organic and comes from grass fed, pasture raised, antibiotic/hormone free happy cows. When I received my order I was happy to see that Naked Whey looked, smelled and tasted the same as the other more expensive brand I use, so I was ecstatic! Within a few weeks of using Naked Whey time came to place a second order, and that's when I saw a pattern that a few people here have described. Upon receiving my second order I was immediately disappointed, the Naked Whey looked different, it had an yellowish color to it as opposed to the usual, pleasant to look at, creamy color. It smelled different and the taste wasn't the same either. I've read lots of reviews here from people complaining about the same thing and I read the manufacturer's answers as to why this is happening and I am NOT convinced! Something is definitely up. The reason I say that with such confidence is because I have been using the other more expensive top organic whey brand I mentioned above for over a year and I NEVER had this issue. One of the Naked Whey manufacturer's explanation for this weird yellowish color in some of their whey is because "they do not bleach" their whey; guess what? The "top brand" I use does not bleach theirs either and their whey is consistently the same creamy pleasant color every time! Now, I have come across the Naked Whey heavy metals test (please see added link), my jaw dropped! All I can say is: Unacceptable! Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury (especially the lead and mercury) are toxic in any amount to the human body and should be not present in any food designed for human consumption. I am a Nutritionist and food scientist/researcher, and one thing that Naked Whey folks might not know is that whey is extremely sensitive to light and should not be exposed to it, hence why the top brand whey protein I use comes in a package with an aluminum foil lining on the inside to protect and preserve the whey from the denaturing effects of light on whey protein. Maybe the clear plastic container Naked Whey adopted might not have been a great idea after all. In closing, I am not buying this product ever again based on these inconsistencies in coloring/smell and taste. I am not the first one to point this out here. I had a feeling there had to be a catch to that attractive price of $89 dollars for a 5 pound container of Naked Whey. I am feeling totally duped, but I guess you get what you pay for. Naked Whey is not getting my money ever again and I will return this yellow crap ASAP!
