Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Dr. D., Below is a quote from someone in the NN group held in high regard. His opinions have been valuable to me. I'm not quite sure if it's poor etiquette to quote a post from someone and not tell them - I am not very active over there in terms of anything other than lurking. My posting karma might be in trouble. Anywho, someone asked about whey protein and this is what he had to say about it. I guess I was wondering if you have any reference to this or anything to rebut it. Have we (those new to whey protein) bargained for a compromise? He's talking about oxidation - should we consider an anti-oxidant when we use whey? Thank q! -vanessa " I would not recommend any form of powdered protein. No matter how gentle the processing there are two basic problems which can't be over come. First, once powdered, oxidation begins immediately and more and more research is showing that oxidation of fats and proteins makes them more dangerous to your health. Second, even if the powdering process is perfect and the protein is unaltered and you solve the oxidation problem for storage, you're still dealing with a fractioned food. Some research indicates that protein powders can contribute to osteoporosis while whole protein from meat and milk does not. Isolated whey protein is missing all the other good stuff in the milk. And while some of it may not be strictly necessary for the direct digestion of the whey protein itself, there certainly is a lot of good things in raw milk. Given a choice between isolated whey protein powder and raw milk, I always choose the later. " <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
