Whey Protein is WHEY Better than Soy

If you have ever considered losing a few pounds while gaining lean muscle mass than you are likely familiar with the old debate of Soy vs. Whey protein.  Personally I have used Whey protein to lose a few pounds and I have found it to be easily digestible and tastes great.  I have heard many things about Soy protein including that it triggers an increase in estrogen.  So, I wanted to find out which protein is better.

Studies have clearly shown that Whey protein is the better choice for increasing quality protein intake.  Research groups suggest that the high amino acid content of whey protein supports an optimal rate of protein buildup.

What’s even more interesting is that a 12-week study conducted on two groups of individuals to test the effectiveness of whey protein on weight loss. Showed that groups that incorporated whey protein into their diet had less body fat and better preservation of muscle mass.

So, if you are looking for a protein high in biological value and a high fat loss capability, then Whey protein is the ‘Whey’ to go!

You Are What You HEAT

We have all done it….you know the drill, place a food item in the microwave, press start, and then run for cover behind the wall to prevent the radiation from reaching you. But, do we REALLY need to duck and cover while heating our meals in the microwave? And if we find ourselves intuitively concerned about the effects radiation may have on our bodies, shouldn’t we be just as concerned about what radiation may do to the food we eat?

I’ve done some research and found that when you microwave food it denatures the natural make-up of the food by stripping vitamins, minerals, and proteins from your meal.  What is left is radiolytic compounds that have been proven to seriously compromise the make-up of our blood. Exposure to microwave emissions have also been proven to negatively effect the human body.  Did you know that microwaves were banned in Russia in 1976 after a study confirmed that they cause negative health outcomes?

I’m going to trust my intuition and the conclusions of Swiss, Russian, and German scientific clinical studies to start limiting the use of my microwave.  Science doesn’t lie!!

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven.<http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazards.htm>  

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term, permanent brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].  

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.  

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.  

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.  

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.  

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.  

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.  

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.  

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.  

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.
