Protein powders, which are mainstays in supermarket supplement aisles, provide a hefty hit of protein in just a few scoops. This extra protein may offer myriad health benefits, ranging from enhanced muscle mass to weight management. But not all protein powders are created equal, and some may contain fillers, additives and even contaminants, such as heavy metals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t validate the safety of protein powders before they hit store shelves, so it’s up to consumers to find an effective—and safe—product.

For the first time in decades, the ballot design that helped political bosses cement their power over New Jersey politics won’t be used by either party in next month’s crowded primary election for governor. But the progressives who shocked the state’s political world by ending the so-called county line a year ago now say they’re worried some aspects of it could return — and that only a federal court ruling will kill it off forever. Without that, the left-leaning Democrats say, New Jersey’s entrenched powers will do everything they can to chip away at truly open primaries. A long-running legal…
