Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Mara, I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to that either. They have been good about responding to my e-mails, so maybe they'll get back with soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 and , Does the protein from the Protein Factory have aspartame in it? I tried a bunch of samples from Vitalady.com (you can order individual samples to find the ones you like) and found about 3 that were okay. However, I won't use artificial sweetners (sweet and low or equal) so I am stuck with fewer options (mostly stevia). Maybe your powder would be an option. Thanks for the info, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 I am not sure but I e.mailed them this morning to see if they had nutrition information so I'll let you know.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Mara, I just checked the web site and this is one thing it said: Our proteins are pure, without any added ingredients such as sweeteners, flavorings, and confectionery ingredients. That would lead me to believe they do not add anything. The one that I ordered (which told me to order I should say) says it is 95% protein and is virtually fat free (I think it said it is 1% fat). I would still like to know the percentage of sugar (natural I assume) and calories if they have it. If they get back to me I'll still let you know.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Dear Mara, I checked out that site and you have the option of adding any sweetner you choose or have none at all although they don't recommend that, their choice is Splenda, but they do have stevia also. Check it out were you design your own blend. Hope that helps. Marjory Re: Protein powders > and , > Does the protein from the Protein Factory have aspartame in it?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 , I once had a doctor " prescribe " protein powder to me to help put on weight (I have never been able to keep on weight). At the time I was 22, and a wopping 90 lbs. It made me lose weight.... I have touched it in a long time. I found that REAL healthy food helps me keep the weight on, and recently I have discovered that raw foods actually help me put weight on. Just taking out grains, and adding raw produce, I am now weighing in at 112, at the age of 34, with three kids... I can't wait to get raw dairy... I think a substantial amount of raw fat (cream, butter, and whole milk) will help bring that up a few more pounds. I have been trying to get up to 115 or 120 for about 13 years...so far I have only hit that weight in pregnancy (lol). Anyways, for muscle growth, I would be eating meat... as raw as you can stand it, raw eggs (they are great in shakes), and lots of raw fat to keep your body lubricated (inside) and for the extra energy you use. >For those of you working out, what is your opinion on protein >powders?

Back when I used to use this stuff, I gravitated towards Goatein - expensive, but, I figured I'd probably be doing the least harm by using it. I've since stopped doing sports supplements and noticed no difference at all in my progress (of course, making sure I get enough high quality protein in my diet). I took this as a sign that, while for strength purposes, protein powder is better than inadequate protein, you'd be better off in the long run by eating real food.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hey, I can't answer for Sally but to me de-natured means processed and out of its natural context. You do have a point here. Whey protein poweder is much better than soy isolate or other veggie isolates. But i think adding the powder to kefir helps. Who knows about the milk quality, however. cheers, > In a message dated 10/23/04 12:20:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > jp2@s... writes: > > > Generally I am 'NT nazi' and can tell this is denatured food > _____ > > ~~~~~> What is the definition of " denatured food " ?

I think the better filtration technologies would remove any toxins (I don't know this for sure, but it seems so), and if the protein is hydrolyzed, the A1/A2 thing, trace gluten worries, etc, probably shouldn't be an issue either.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 From: panhandlepeddlers Sent: Friday, 2006.4.28 6:32 PM Subject: [] Re: Insurance Appeal letter I use a Weight loss drink mix called Slimstyles. It is a Whey protien supplement with something called PGX. * Whey is the watery part of milk and contains the protein lactalbumin. Lactalbumin is a small protein, but still has allergic potential. Are you able to consume any dairy products? Does the Slimstyles label say whether the whey proteins have been hydrolyzed, or what PGX is? I still have some bloating after ingesting this product, but it is by far the best thing my body will tolerate and not cause me severe fatigue and I will stay full for about 4 hours. I have tried food eliminations for a couple of years and no matter what solid foods I eat I have reactions to. I believe my worst reactions comes from my body actually having to digest food. I take digestive enzymes to help me some. During digestion my gut is very loud with grinding and churning. That is interesting about the protien.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 There is a lot of evidence that a high protein diet protects against some of the negative effects of some mycotoxins. Whey protein is one of the highest quality proteins. Just another data point.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sally Fallon's tape said all protein powders, and especially whey powders, are dangerous in that they are extruded and thus have the protein molecules broken apart, which is neurotoxic, and also the resulting tiny particles have a mass to outer layer ration that causes the only type of bad cholesterol there is due to the stickiness that happens. Whey is so much more fragile than other proteins that they are all the more dangerous. Does anyone know of powders that are simply dried proteins that are perhaps then broken up or some process that's not so dangerous? Also, keep in mind the fact that too much protein without the fat is dangerous and is another reason why dried cereals are bad and especially why organic cereals found in health food stores are even worse due to their higher protein concentration.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I think I would check with Mercola on his drink because I doubt he would advocate it being extruded. I also have been drinking a protein drink from Lepti Trim that is only whey from colostrum first milking. It is not extruded it is dried. I have not said much about it because I have only been drinking it for a week or so and I drink it for the Leptin for weight control. I did check into this product pretty thoroughly and it appears to be pretty good. Allyn PRIORITY INVESTMENTS N' KOLLATERAL,INC. ALLYN FERRIS PRESIDENT AFERRIS@... 4548A WEST VILLAGE DR.

I don't know how familiar you are with Mercola's website, but he talks about the right type of diet for your body. (Protein type, carb type, or mixed.) Anyways, on the questionare I came out as a protein type, and supposedly we don't do as well on eggs, and I always wondered why I didn't like them better. Also explained why I like the dark meat and my wife likes the white meat. (FWIW the dark color is from iron.) MY wife and son love white meat, I eat it and find it devoid of flavor and quite dry when they call it juicy and flavor full.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006  Well, actually it was from one of the people responding to something on this website. He is a Chiropractor and under his name he had some websites so I checked them out. Then I contacted him and then went to the website. It is made by Immune Tree and I had checked into the colostrum over a year ago because they have just about the best colostrum on the market. So, I got the info and I have started on it. I have also in the past read two books on leptin which is the hormone that was discovered in the early 90's that helps our bodies to tell us when we are full, etc. It is in the adipose tissues and when you have been on the SAD diet you really screw up this hormone, especially if you the ab gene (the obese gene) which I believe as my whole family tends to be heavy. My brother is over 400 pounds and I am no where near that but still very overweight. I have struggled all my life with it and now can't even lose weight. Anyhow, I have lost over 11 inches in 1 week and I have not measured this week. So far no weight loss but my clothes are definitely bigger. Check out the wesite at www.yourwellnesscompany.com/aferris. I really think they have an exceptional product as far as the quality ingredients. I swore I would never try another diet but it works for me because I just put the shakes in my kefir or raw milk with coconut oil. I have not really changed what I eat as I am really committed to the traditional foods as I have seen so many good results in other areas-except weight loss. Allyn Re: Protein powders I'm pretty interested in this product if it's not extruded. How did you discover that? Did you call the company? I would not only like it for myself but for my football playing grandson.On Jul 5, 2006, at 6:11 AM, ALLYN FERRIS wrote: I think I would check with Mercola on his drink because I doubt he would advocate it being extruded.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 no, they don't but I know it works for some people. I have checked into the metabolic typing and the blood type.
