i recently had occasion to take exception to some high protein

propaganda . please read this and think link above carefully before

paying for high protien foods especially supplements and isolates.

Billy: more accurately, you have highlighted a common mistake by

lumping proteins together; undenatured whey protein concentrate

and isolate are the exception to arguments against protein.

Obviously each mammalian species' very survival depends on this

being a good food, and calling it the best protein source is

entirely accurate.

 

While most protein is acidifying, whey protein is uniquely

alkalizing; this means it allows better oxygen transport, which

of course is a good thing.

 

While most protein is relatively harder to digest, with a

biological value in the mid-70's, eggs higher at 100, undenatured

whey isolate can go as high as 160. Undenatured whey isolate is

the most easily assimilated of any protein, requiring almost no

digestion; this form of protein can be assimilated by even a

compromized digestive system and by the very young, which have

little or no stomach acid, little or no bowel ecology, and almost

no digestive enzyme release.

 

Only raw protein and other foods contains precursors for your

body's master antioxidant and detoxifier; undenatured whey

protein is the highest known source of these precursors. The

glutathione produced reduces the inflammation that has been

associated with most meat proteins, glutathione is absolutely

necessary to the body's ATP energy production, when glutathione

is depleted infection is stimulated and when it is replete

infection disappears, and it's an immunomodulator, which means it

accents a low immune response and subdues an overactive immune

response in the most natural way.

 

Billy, nothing in the doctor's site you posted the link to

vilifies whey concentrates and isolates, and nothing could. The

comment is your own, and it is not supported by any of the

research. With respect, your agenda is transparent; we readily

identify sleight of hand as such, and use myths as a fiber source

on health groups

This quote from McDougall's opening paragraph shows that he

doesn't know the difference between whey protein and meat, fish

or egg proteins: " ...and the common use of protein supplements,

especially among body builders, are increasing the risk of life-

threatening kidney failure for millions of people. Although the

damage caused by excess dietary protein has been recognized for

more than 100 years, most people believe this nutrient is the

most important one to seek in their diet. " Here's the link again:

I say he doesn't know because whey protein is the most popular

protein for body builders and in health generally, and it's

effect is well known from a scientific perspective to be very

different from other proteins.

 

McDougall has made an inexcusably sloppy generalization that he

could have found adequate detail with which to prevent such a

mistake in a five-minute search.

 

It's too bad because several people rely on his opinion.

 

Again, you have only to consider the consequences on survival of

the species if the only obligatory protein a breast feeding

mammal gets would impose the undue organ loading described in the

article. The fact is that undenatured whey is well known to not

impose this load because it does not require protein breakdown

that other proteins do.

 

I hope I've managed to illuminate one more myth in health

information, propagated not by fact but erroneous opinion.

 

Please check my work; there are plenty of keywords to get you

started.
