Recently I was checking out the smoothie selection
and they gave me a choice of soy protein or whey.
I love having a high powered protein drink but
didn't realize they were now giving us choices.
That's good news for us!
Soy Protein
Obviously is made from the soybean, but I almost
always get a slight stomach ache from it. It's a
very hard bean to digest anyway so I tend to shy
away from them.
In my clinic, when dealing with womens health issues,
I actually found it beneficial for the women to get
off of all soy products. Too much phyto estrogen?
Maybe. Personally, I think any food that is a
concentrate and difficult to digest puts too much
stress on the liver. That's where the problem lies.
Getting back to the protein...
whey protein is derived from milk. Its basicaally a
a diluted byproduct of the cheese-making process.
Good for those who can digest milk products on some
level. Can be beneficial for the digestive tract.
One of the best forms I've seen is from Jay Robb's
brand. I've met him personally and you can see
he practices what he preaches.
For a high packed protein drink, I would stick
with whey.
Until next time,
Judy
