I did not read the actual article on the protein suppliments, as I am not interested in paying them for it.

If someone would send me a copy, I would be glad to read it and retract my statements if warranted.
Most libraries carry Consumer Reports, as their readers generally find it useful, so if you really wanted, you could probably go read one for free. And subscriptions are fairly low priced, low $20s, depending on how much you shop. The magazine is not all that thick, but remember the ads are pretty minimal, it's amazing to me how many ad pages a lot of magazines have. But I suspect your mind is made up, wouldn't make much difference, and that's OK, I can respect that.

I don't think anyone (including Consumer Reports) is claiming it's perfect, it makes mistakes, there are corrections, sometimes they get a bad product or a lemon, have to print later a correction or modified report. And I, too, have found occasion when I knew enough about a topic, to think they did not get it quite right. eReaders, I do think they got just about right, but I'm not claiming to be an expert there. I guess people react differently, if I disagree with something I'm reading in a periodical, I don't generally quit reading it entirely.

But let me ask one question:

Are there any better resources, commercial or non-profit, online or off, that are consistently and reliably better at rating a range of products?
