Ozempic Users Flock To Protein Shake Now Named America's Unhealthiest Bottled Drink
Water is the best way to hydrate, but if you're craving something else, be cautious. Many bottled drinks like juice and protein shakes may seem healthy, but they're often high in sugar. These convenient drinks can exceed daily recommended sugar intake, making them a less healthy choice than they appear. Fairlife's Core Power protein shakes have been named the unhealthiest bottled beverage in America by food and nutrition magazine Eat This, Not That!, despite their popularity among fitness enthusiasts and Ozempic users. The shakes' muscle-boosting reputation is overshadowed by concerns over their nutritional content, sparking surprise and concern among consumers. A news portal consulted dietitian Mary Sabat, MS, RDN, LD, who identified the seven unhealthiest food choices-ranking Core Power Protein Shakes as the worst among them for health impact. They are a go-to for many after a workout or to boost their protein intake, but Sabat says these drinks are highly problematic. "I put these first because they are so highly marketed as a great source of protein and a healthy food when in reality they are a disaster to your metabolic health," Sabat says. "Core Power Protein Shakes may seem like a convenient post-workout drink, but a closer look at the ingredients reveals several health concerns." She explains, "They use non-organic, conventional dairy, which often comes from cows fed GMO corn and soy and may contain residues of hormones and antibiotics-unlike grass-fed dairy, which is higher in omega-3s and CLA and free from harmful residues. The addition of carrageenan, a thickening agent linked to gut inflammation and irritation, further detracts from its health profile." Sabat also points out other harmful ingredients. "Artificial sweeteners like sucralose and acesulfame potassium are also used, both of which have been associated with gut microbiome disruption and potential carcinogenic effects in animal studies," she says. Sabat adds, "Lastly, the label includes 'natural flavours," a term that can encompass up to 100 different undisclosed chemical additives, many of which are far from natural. Together, these ingredients make Core Power far less healthy than its marketing implie"s.

Ozempic users are hooked on this popular drink — which was just ranked the unhealthiest bottled beverage in the US right now
They're pumping protein — and guzzling sugar bombs. Fairlife's Core Power protein shakes — beloved by fitness fanatics and Ozempic users alike — have just been crowned the unhealthiest bottled beverage in America, despite their muscle-boosting reputation, according to Eat This, Not That! Shakes like these are a 'great way to start the day without having to sit down and have a full breakfast,' gushed Elise Ramer, a 42-year-old PR pro in Florida, previously reported on by The Post. Advertisement Ramer said she puts Core Power in her coffee while taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro — since users need to focus on their protein intake due to the possible muscle loss side effect. But nutrition experts are throwing a red flag on the play. 'I put these first [as the unhealthiest bottled drink in the U.S.] because they are so highly marketed as a great source of protein and a healthy food when in reality they are a disaster to your metabolic health,' registered dietitian Mary Sabat recently told Eat This, Not That!

The shakes are made by Fairlife, owned by Coca-Cola, and boast up to 42 grams of protein per bottle — but that muscle comes with a side of controversy. According to Sabat, it's not just about sugar. 'They use non-organic, conventional dairy, which often comes from cows fed GMO corn and soy and may contain residues of hormones and antibiotics — unlike grass-fed dairy, which is higher in omega-3s and CLA and free from harmful residues,' she told the outlet.

Jammy Jean – She added, 'Lastly, the label includes 'natural flavors,' a term that can encompass up to 100 different undisclosed chemical additives, many of which are far from natural. Together, these ingredients make Core Power far less healthy than its marketing implies.' Advertisement That hasn't stopped the protein craze. Thanks to the Ozempic effect, these shakes are flying off shelves faster than a gym bro's tank top. Sales of protein and meal-replacement drinks surged 11.1% to a whopping $4.7 billion last year — and it's the Ozempic army leading the charge, retail tracker SPINS revealed. As The Post previously reported, Rila Global Consulting found 13% of those on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro had consumed protein shakes in the past two years. But some experts warn that overloading on protein — especially the highly processed kind — can backfire. 3 As The Post previously reported, 13% of Ozempic and Mounjaro users have chugged protein shakes in the past two years, according to Rila Global Consulting. Tobias Arhelger – Dr. Joseph Antoun, CEO of longevity company L-Nutra, previously told The Post that too much animal protein can raise IGF-1 levels, a hormone linked to accelerated aging, cancer and diabetes. 'The goal isn't to just build muscle — it's to live long enough to use it,' he said. In the meantime, maybe stick to a protein-packed egg — and leave the mystery 'natural flavors' to the lab rats.

4 Red Flags for the Middle Class After Trump's First 100 Days
Middle-class Americans are already feeling the early tremors of economic change after the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term. Be Aware: Find Out: From rising prices at the grocery store to the threat of shrinking job opportunities in key industries, warning signs are emerging that could squeeze household budgets and long-term financial stability. Here are four red flags for the middle class after Trump's first 100 days. In the first 100 days of Trump's return, price hikes are hitting middle-class households in subtle but significant ways. From groceries to gas, everyday essentials are climbing faster than wages and squeezing budgets already stretched thin. 'Tariffs are inflationary, so American consumers need to watch their expenses carefully, especially in the areas of consumer goods,' said Mayra Rodriguez Valladares, managing principal at MRV Associates. 'We are a huge importer of Asian toys, for example, and those are rising in price.' She also explained that, with inflation remaining elevated as an effect of the tariffs, interest rates on loans, credit cards and mortgages will also remain high. In addition, Valladares said the 'erratic nature of the president's policies' worsens the problem. 'If individuals and businesses knew significantly in advance what the tariff policies are, they could plan for the future,' Valladares said. 'Uncertainty and volatility make it very difficult for consumers or businesses to figure out how to budget for tariffs.' Learn More: Industries like construction, agriculture and retail are vulnerable, because they rely heavily on imported materials and goods. 'You might see businesses cutting back, which could lead to fewer jobs or reduced hours in manufacturing, construction and retail,' said George Carrillo, CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council (HCC). These slowdowns hit hardest in regions where local economies depend on vulnerable sectors and lead to fewer opportunities and greater financial insecurity. 'States in the Midwest and South that depend on manufacturing and farming are expected to bear the brunt of these economic policies,' Carrillo said. 'The Pacific Northwest is also likely to struggle as major companies, like Nike, Adidas and Colombia Sportswear, headquartered in the region face rising costs and potential disruptions.' Carrillo added, 'It's a tough spot for workers and businesses in these areas as they face rising costs and shrinking margins.' Rising tariffs are quietly driving up the cost of dining out, making restaurant meals less affordable for middle-class families. As ingredient prices climb, many restaurants are passing those increases on to customers and turning even casual meals into budget concerns. According to the food blog Eat This, Not That, here's why middle-class diners could see price hikes on some of their favorite menu items. Guacamole and avocado-based dishes: 90% of avocados consumed in the U.S. come from Mexico. Salsa and tomato-based sauces: The U.S. relies on Mexico for tomatoes. Fresh salads: Imported produce from Mexico and Canada. Imported beer and alcohol: Many popular beers come from Mexico. Beef and meat-centric dishes: The U.S. imports a portion of its beef from Canada. Supply chain issues are worsening under Trump's trade policies, causing periodic shortages of essential products. Electronics, certain food items and auto parts are becoming harder to find, and these gaps in availability can raise prices even further. These disruptions not only frustrate consumers but also create instability for retailers and manufacturers already coping with higher costs. Carrillo said the ripple effects of supply chain shortages can add stress to households and increase the likelihood that consumers will rely on credit cards to cover rising expenses. 'This can create long-term financial problems if interest starts piling up,' Carrillo said. 'To manage these challenges, focus on sticking to a budget, look for savings through coupons and bulk purchases, and explore ways to bring in extra income or build new skills.'

Man Claims He Lost 132 Pounds by Eating At This Famous Fast Food Restaurant Every Day
Nowadays, it's become commonplace to view fast food as the unhealthiest option for a potential meal. But in a surprising development for the culinary community, a 32-year-old Rhode Island resident is now claiming to have lost 132 pounds from a predominantly fast food-centric eating regimen. In an exclusive interview with Eat This, Not That, digital content producer Tom Carroll said that he shed a shocking amount of weight from eating at Chick-fil-A every day for 14 months. "Back before I was on my health journey, I would have never thought of a fast food restaurant as something that would be my engine for losing weight," Carroll admitted. But by ordering the right options off Chick-fil-A's menu, Carroll experienced a massive change in his physical health. So what is this magic menu item that Carroll ultimately helped lose so much weight? Per Carroll's interview, the 32-year-old revealed that he specifically ordered the Spicy Southwest Salad every day, even going so far to order it a day in advance to prepare for Chick-fil-A's closure on Sundays. At 680 calories, it's one of the restaurant's healthiest meal options, complete with a hearty supply of protein in every bite. "I was always completely conscious of the fact that all the fast food I was eating was keeping me from being healthy," said Carroll. "When I thought 'health foods,' fast food was the furthest thing from my mind. But when it finally clicked for me that this salad from Chick-fil-A was not only healthy, but also fun, easy and delicious just like the burgers and tacos I had been eating my whole adult life, it immediately changed my perception of what fast food could be." By choosing to visit Chick-fil-A so often, Carroll has credited the restaurant for drastically improving his overall quality of life, sentiments he further echoes in his informative essay "Chick-fil-A Saved My Life." Additionally, Carroll has said that strategically cutting out certain foods and beverages like alcoholic drinks significantly helped him cut back on his weight, viewing it as one of the best things he did for his diet.
