What Do Dirty Protein Sodas Have to Do With Sunflower Seed Oil? Try & Tell

Dirty sodas may be a thing, but what about dirty protein sodas? In this episode, I thought I would try one to see if it's as good as influencers are saying. Speaking of protein drinks, did you know they contain sunflower seed oils? Sunflower seed oil has been demonized by health & wellness influencers, but is it really as bad as they say? If so, what may be making it so harmful? I took a bit of a wade (instead of a dive, get it?) into that ingredient as well. Here are the links to my sources:
