"I used to be a big fan of whey protein, but after learning more about cows' milk (from which whey protein is derived), I made the switch to vegetable proteins. whey protein tastes delicious, but it can also be difficult to digest and can exhibit many of the same problems caused by milk and dairy products (constipation, sinus congestion, autoimmune disorders, etc.). In my personal experience, however, I didn't have major negative side effects from whey protein. I just chose to move away from whey because of its dairy origin." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"We recommend a quality, low temperature-processed whey protein isolate that retains all the key functional biological proteins of whey, including immune-boosting lactoferrin (a protein found in milk that acts as an antioxidant and fights inflammation). Dosing is usually 20 to 40 g of whey protein isolate daily, with greater amounts suggested if you are under physical stress (e.g., intense physical exercise), have a serious medical illness or infection, or if your body weight exceeds 200 pounds." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "The investigators concluded that whey protein appears to be a valuable supplement for people who need to lose weight. In yet another experimental study, a test group fed whey protein experienced increased insulin sensitivity and a 40-percent reduction in plasma insulin concentration when compared with beef-fed rats. Both of these findings are associated with improved blood glucose levels and reduced fat storage. The studies' researchers concluded that whey appears to be an excellent protein source that supports healthy blood glucose levels and promotes weight loss." - Steven V.

"Only approximately 2% of the people who have dairy allergies are allergic to whey protein. Whey protein powder can be easily added to a smoothie. What to do: Mix one scoop of protein powder (typically 20 g of protein) with 8 ounces of water, milk or juice and ice in a blender. Add frozen blueberries or other fruit, if desired. If you are allergic to whey protein, consider soy powder—the protein in soy powder is more easily utilized than that in other soy foods. Soy powder can also be used in smoothies." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "As an alternative to meat, consider using whey protein powder—an excellent source of protein derived from milk. Look for cold filtered and ion exchanged on the label, which indicates that the processing has removed lactose (milk sugar) and casein (a highly allergenic protein found in milk). This process breaks down the whey, making it more absorbable. Next Nutrition as well as Jarrow each make excellent whey products. Only approximately 2% of the people who have dairy allergies are allergic to whey protein. Whey protein powder can be easily added to a smoothie." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"If your body responds to the whey found in most bars and shake mixes, opt for products that contain whey protein isolate. Choose whey protein products with less than 0.1 grams of lactose per tablespoon of powder. You may need to contact the manufacturer to find out more information on that, or speak with your health food store's representative, who can point you in the right direction. During your active detox (while you are taking the herbal cleansing supplements), you will also take a fiber supplement at bedtime." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Hydrolyzed whey protein lowers blood pressure," says Houston. The Supporting Cast Though CoQIO, whey protein, and the DASH diet form the core of a natural cure for high blood pressure, they're far from the only elements of a hypertension reduction program. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium (and a reduced amount of sodium) work in concert to optimize blood pressure. Interestingly, much research has shown that the overwhelming majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium (see Desert Island Cures, page 303)." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Foods containing tryptophan and complex carbohydrates help melatonin. whey protein, bananas, or dairy snacks at bedtime can be helpful. 11. Vitamins B12 and B6 are needed to make melatonin, and vitamin B3 (niacin) prevents breakdown of tryptophan. A vitamin B complex formula (50 to 100 mg/day), taken any time of day, can be helpful to support melatonin production. 12. Other nutrients that help your body make melatonin are NAC (500 to 1000 mg), methionine (500 to 1000 mg) taken in the morning, and tryptophan (100 to 200) of 5-HTP (5-hydroxytrp-tophan, 50 to 100 mg) taken at bedtime. 13." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "The best foods for sleep are dairy, bananas, oats, sweet corn, rice, tomatoes, and whey protein. The home remedy of warm milk at bedtime is, in fact, grounded in science. Drugs and Melatonin Many recreational drugs and medications affect melatonin and contribute to sleep problems. Marijuana raises melatonin levels more dramatically than any other drug. Its effect typically occurs almost immediately (within twenty minutes of smoking) and results in very high levels (as much as four thousand times the normal baseline)." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "It is found in lentils, beans, peas, seafood, meat (particularly wild game), fish, whey protein, eggs, soy, and dairy. If it is taken as a supplement, take it in the morning (usually 500 to 1000 mg); it can be repeated in the early afternoon. However, it can be stimulating and may keep you awake if taken too late in the day. Take tyrosine on an empty stomach (or at least away from proteins) to maximize its absorption. Minerals are important for normal function and activation of thyroid hormones. Iodine is tricky because too much can be as bad as too little." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Choose whey protein products with less than 0.1 grams of lactose per tablespoon of powder. You may need to contact the manufacturer to find out more information on that, or speak with your health food store's representative, who can point you in the right direction. During your active detox (while you are taking the herbal cleansing supplements), you will also take a fiber supplement at bedtime. Obviously, you wouldn't want to prepare a heavy shake or eat a bar just before bedtime, so this is when a fiber supplement you can dissolve in water is helpful." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Though not technically a supplement, whey protein is another powerful way to increase the body's stores of glutathione and boost the immune system. Be sure to get a pure, high-quality powder made by a reputable company that markets to health professionals. You don't want one of the God-awful "fancy" protein shakes sweetened with sugar or some artificial chemical hazard that lines the shelves at the mall. (One brand I like is PaleoMeal by Designs for Health, which has whey from grass-fed animals, is carefully prepared, and is fortified with omegas and other heart-healthy nutrients." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Bars: The high-fiber bars you'll want to use will ideally contain 10 grams of fiber (6 soluble and 4 insoluble) from milled flaxseed, oat fiber, and gum acacia, and 10 grams of protein from whey protein concentrate. Whey is an extremely high-quality protein, complete with all essential amino acids. Look for a bar that is sweetened with dates, raisins, and agave syrup and comes in a variety of flavors. Avoid any bars containing hydrogenated vegetable oils. Look instead for high-oleic sunflower oil, a stable oil that is rich in essential fatty acids." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Rice protein powder Like whey protein powder, it contains the essential amino acids but is low in taurine, as are most plant-based proteins. Vegans who wish to avoid whey products can use it. Salsa Read the label to make sure that there is no sugar or corn syrup. I prefer the fresh varieties available now in most supermarkets to the canned or bottled types. You can use tomatillo as well as tomato salsa. Shirataki tofu noodleA See page 216 for information on this stand-in for high-carb pasta." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Mullin recommends beginning such an elimination diet by consuming only hypoallergenic protein powders such as whey protein or rice protein—which will give you all of the essential nutrients—for a period of three days and then slowly adding in limited foods such as rice, chicken, turkey, and vegetables (see below) for a period of up to eight weeks. Patients keep a journal and take note of any type of reaction (bloating, abdominal discomfort, rashes, headaches, and any worsening of their autoimmune-disease symptoms)." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Hemp protein powder Made from hemp seeds (a cousin of marijuana, and no, you will not feel high eating it), this powder contains the essential amino acids and has the benefits of whey protein powder without the downsides. (Many whey powders contain sugar or artificial sweeteners.) The seeds are high in fat, albeit mostly omega-3s. High-fiber pasta See page 216 for information. Mozzarella Use only fresh mozzarella, which comes in baseball-size balls (as well as smaller ones) packed in water." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "HOW TO EVOLVE YOUR SHOPPING STYLE Although most of my recipes call for familiar ingredients, some ingredients such as agave syrup or whey protein powder may be new to you—and you may not know where to find them. Others, such as tomato sauce with no added sugar or non-Dutch-processed cocoa powder, differ in important ways from those you may be currently using. Once you try some of these ingredients and realize how they increase your options and ability to follow Diet Evolution, I think you will find them as essential as I do." - Dr. Steven R.

"Whey protein provides the body with several amino acids, including leucine (p. 274), isoleucine (p. 274), and valine (p. 274)—branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) (p. 274) needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue.1 Where Is It Found? During the process of making milk into cheese, whey protein is separated from the milk. This whey protein is then incorporated into ice cream, bread, canned soup, infant formulas, and other food products. Supplements containing whey protein are also available. Who Is Likely to Be Deficient?" - Schuyler W. Lininger, Jr. DC, The Natural Pharmacy: Complete Home Reference to Natural Medicine (Get the book.)

"For example, there is some evidence that whey protein is more satiating than casein [43]. The former is more readily absorbed so the postprandial rise of plasma amino acids, the presumed satiety signal, is greater. However, this finding is not robust [43, 44]. There is also evidence that dairy protein may have stronger satiety effects because of its high concentration of casinomacropeptide (CMP) [45, 46]. CMP is a potent stimulus for the release of gut peptides associated with satiety such as cholecystokinin (CCK)." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J.
