Re: whey nutritional information

[Guest guest]

What are do you mean by generalities?

Do you know if it is higher in protein, or carbs?

I have seen whey protein listed as an ingredient in many products.

Thanks for the information.

Re: whey nutritional information

Other than in generalities, whey is so variable that they do not measure it.

Oh okay..

Whey powder can be assessed after it is processed. With the practice of

bulking lots, it's fairly accurate. In an honest world you could use it as

reconstituted milk and the nutritional staus would be pretty close.

Liquid whey doesn't cut it for universal labeling, unless you want to test

every batch every 10 days or so from the same herd, and print new labels.

Cheese herds have very little whey to their milk, and all will vary with the

seasons as to the actual % of constituents.

Almost all dried Whey Protein is absolute junk from who knows what cows, and

it is highly processed when called " whey protein isolate " . Please avoid.

(It's like soy-- it's in everything. Hope you're not allergic)

Goatein is great, but expensive. My very favorite whole Whey Powder comes

from Denmark. It is 80% Lo-Heat processed, $14.50 per 2lb canister, and is

very handy to fortify milk for use in cooking.etc.

(www.beyond-a-century.com) It even tastes/smells like milk. The teenage

boys add it to their sports drinks w/ pasturized and raw eggs if RawMilk

isn't around their house.

We don't have much Cream around here, so I thicken up the milk we have with

it when I make a sauce. Add good butter, and you almost can't tell.. Throw

in a can of coconut milk, and it's to die for....

Throw it in the blender, then add to gallon jar, and shake. Keeps a long

time, and you can sweeten it for other things. It's my base for a lot of

recipes including Holiday Eggnog.

So is whey mostly carbohydrate or protein or just water?

Like milk, whey is mostly water, but it also has most of the

nutrients of milk, minerals, vitamins, etc, and if it's old-fashioned

homemade whey [in contrast with industrially manfactured whey], it'll

have lots of good bacteria and lactic acid. In terms of

macronutrients, it's mostly lactose and whey proteins. Whey is

tremendously valuable food, and I drink some everyday.

Unfortunately, despite trying in the past, I haven't been able to

find data for real [ala NT] whey, just data for " sweet whey "

and " acid whey " without any explanation of exactly what these things

are and how they relate to NT whey. And the USDA data

(usda.shim.net) for whey, while suggestive and useful, doesn't

indicate what kind of whey they're talking about. On the Native

Nutrition list there was a good thread about whey composition some

months ago with a bunch of interesting technical info and links, but

it's a pain to search the archives on Yahoo groups, so you might find

it easier to just google on it.
