Whey Protein

deltaforce

Protein is very important to the body. It's made from amino acids which are the building blocks of you. I do not supplement with protein shakes for body building purposes, but rather to ensure my body and brain are getting enough protein. I use only almond milk for mix my shakes with, btw.

I take 2 whey protein shakes by noon every day (first early am, then mid morning as well), and I do it to ensure my brain knows it's getting enough protein. Since each shake I make contain a min of 17 grams of protein, I get at least 34 grams by noon.



Hope this helps.

Just curious, is there any lab-based evidence that phytoestrogens in Soy play role same as estrogens in the body? I am not talking specifics like breast cancer or something similar but in general. In theory, if yes, it should turn most of the men feminine.

I found this:

It doesn't turn men feminine....

This article states that there is no effect of phytoestrogens on male 'parameters' that they tested. Although long term study is needed, it shouldn't affect anyone post-active reproductive age. In fact, it cites articles documenting chemoprotective effects of phytoestrogens. To me, Soy sounds ok, allergy is whole different story (and so is mostly its getting a bad rep, along with over treated Soy)
