Mods... this could have gone either here or in the nutrition forum. Whey is so ubiquitous in its use, that Im sure either place would be ok.. So I put it here because of the extra traffic this forum gets.
So, I just got another email newsletter today from that guy Im sure many of you hear from on a regular basis: Wade McNutt. Today, hes railing against Protein sources commonly used.
Id like some of you knowledgeable guys to please comment on this rather outrageous statement that appears in the middle of the newsletter:
--------------------------------------------
"You may be surprised to find out that most whey proteins on the market and advertised in magazines are totally useless to when it comes to building muscle. Most whey proteins sold move through your digestive tract too fast, which doesn't allow you to absorb all of the amino acids you need. Without a massive amount of digestive enzymes, whey is the sugar or crack cocaine of protein.
Generally, whey flies out of your digestive system into your toilet almost as soon as you put it in your body. This leaves you with messed up blood sugar levels, and you craving for more food, not too mention no muscle growth.
What you must find is a premium protein blend that allows slower digestion and maximal absorption of the amino acids to feed your working muscles. "
------------------------------------------------
When he says the whey shakes we depend so much on are TOTALLY USELESS, hes making a claim that drives a dagger right through the center of the heart of most of our nutritional plans. Now, Im not saying that 'real food' isnt better than whey shakes.. But the fact is, most bodybuilders today get from 1/3 to 1/2 of their daily protein requirements from whey protein shakes, and if these were really TOTALLY USELESS, well, dont you tend to think wed have heard about it before?.
Prior to yesterday, I thought this guy was out to lunch anyway.. Then I read a post from somebody who actually ordered his program, tapes, books, the whole shebang.. And, he swore by it! Otherwise, I probably wouldnt even be posting this, and would have summarily dismissed his statement out of hand. Now, although I still believe its totally BS, I cant say it isnt bothering me.
what do you think?
