what's in your protein?
Suppose you went to the grocery store and asked for “ground beef”. The butcher gives you a package and says it's a great buy and won't cost you much money. Great deal right?
Only when you get home you find that the “ground beef” is 35% meat, 50% fat. Not such a deal any more.
So how do you know when you purchase protein powders what you're getting?
Let's take a look at Whey Protein. There is no ingredient that is called just “whey protein”. It's either Whey Protein Concentrate, or Whey Protein Isolate.
- Whey Protein Isolate is almost all protein – at least 90% protein. - Whey Protein Concentrate is lactose, protein, and minerals and can vary a lot.
The FDA only requires that Whey Protein Concentrate be a minimum of 25% protein. When it's 25% protein, what's the rest?
It's 60% lactose. When you get less protein, you get more lactose
– So what is lactose? It's milk sugar. So cheap Concentrate is cheap, but it's not a bargain. Lactose can cause you more problems than fat. Get informed and ...stay tuned for the rest of the story!
