I'll stick to the gold standard or Atkins protein powder/shake for now.

Edit: there has been a muscletech whey on the front page that includes creatine; I don't think I would give my kids that.
Problems at first glance with your statement:
- Someone has to believe you (not a random FB post you are now citing as first hand) actually had this conversation with your doctor. May or may have happened, we don't know.
- That you correctly understood what the doctor they said and aren't leaving out any major details (on purpose or otherwise).
- You are correctly re-articulating what was explained to you. Even if you understood it, does not mean you can correctly explain it.
- That advice could have also been specific to your children and might not be blanket advice for all small humans. Heck, we don't even know if your kids are 3 or 30. The fact they are seeing a cardiologist is a little outside the norm unless you just have money to burn, epic insurance, or there are underlying medical stuff going on (which I pray is not the case).
-Medical advice for children can also be very different in terms of medical advice for adults. Diet especially. Children have every different needs than your average adult man / woman trying to add lean muscle mass.
- A cardiologist is not a nutritional expert. He or should should have referred you to an expert in adolescent sports nutrition. Heck, they are a specialist themselves so should know better than anyone about discussing areas outside of their expertise.
- Correlation does not imply causation.
- Define "high degree."
- One doctor's opinion does not change generally accepted and overarching medical advice; lots of cutting edge doctors out there but just as many quacks, new age, old school, etc in the wild who disagree wildly with the establishment and each other.
- Being "peer reviewed" means it was reviewed (aka scrutinized), not certified as correct. Peers who could have disagreed or also reviewed studies that came to opposing conclusions. Flat earth claims are "peer reviewed" all the time but that doesn't mean there is a 200 mile ice wall at the edge of the earth.
Point is, if you don't like "SlickDeals nutritionists" spreading questionable information...probably stop trying to be one
*Note, I am not taking a side in the whey vs vegetable-based proteins conversation. I really don't know, haven't spoken to my dog walker about their conversation with an ear and nose doctor regarding the pros and cons of a vegetable-based protein diet supplement.

I never mentioned Facebook or referenced a Facebook post.
Are you referencing a MD specializing in Cardiology as a rando Facebook post? 🤷🏻
Yeah, he had to see a cardiologist for medical reasons which are none of your business.
I specifically stated correlation as I've worked in data for nearly 2 decades. But, when peer reviewed study after peer reviewed study comes to the same conclusion over the course of several years, saying correlation is basically acknowledging it's a fact, but the scientists can't definitively say why.
It's the opinion of a pediatric cardiologist, a pediatric neurologist (MD), and at least 2 different pediatric doctors (MDs). As the person I quoted was asking about kids, the opinions of multiple pediatric MDs carries more weight than you or me.
Maybe you should get some counseling for anger management and/or find a hobby. I'm going back to work now as I have things to do which don't involve dumb arguments with "SlickDeals nutritionists."

My cardiologist said your cardiologist is wrong. (see how that works?)
P.S. I clearly was not trying to pry into your child's situation, just pointing out the massive lack of details makes giving broad medical advice to the rest of the internet (and adults, not children) sketchy at best. Something that clearly you understand on the receiving end but do not actually follow yourself when it comes to offering the same advice to others.
(3...2...1... "do your own research" is coming)
