What to believe? Consumer Protection or Link Baiting?

Consumer Reports reported excessive heavy metal contamination in several protein supplement drinks in their July 2010 issue. Since I suspect that this article (along with their recommendation against the iphone 4) are both designed more to create controversy and draw traffic to their site, you can read the article at melting mama instead. [see Link Baiting]

EAS and CytoSport, two of the companies singled out, have rebuttals on their websites. CytoSport links to a (pdf) statement from the NSF. The NSF states that without further information about testing methods used, they aren't able to directly comment on Consumer Reports findings. However, the NSF has done independent testing, and their results differ from Consumer Report's results.
