Boosts and Benefits of Whey Protein

Expert Author Veronique D Desaulniers
I have been a proponent of whey protein for years, but the more research and studies I review, the more I am convinced that this should be a part of any preventative and healing protocol. Before I discuss the boosts and benefits, let's take a look at what exactly is whey protein.
The protein in cow's milk is 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein. IN the production of cheese, whey is a by-product. The whey rarely causes allergies since it is the casein that is responsible for dairy allergies. Whey is very high in branched-chain amino acids which speed up the healing process.
Here are 10 super benefits of whey protein:
- Significantly increased life span in laboratory animals which translates to an additional 9.4 years of life.
- One of the greatest foods for maximizing glutathione production, up to 64%!
- High levels of Glutathione detoxify carcinogens and toxins
- Prevents the development of cancer
- Keeps you slim and trim by influencing that "full" feeling and by balancing blood glucose
- Stimulates your Natural Killer Cells and your Immune System
- Lactoferrin, which is found in whey, reduces your Breast Cancer risk by binding excess iron
- Whey has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa
- Inhibits the growth of cancer cells
- Starves cancer cells
Not all Whey Proteins are Beneficial
Virtually most whey proteins on the market have been heated at very high temperatures. This denatures the protein, making it very toxic to the kidneys and liver. Pasteurizing and heating the whey makes most of the amino acids unusable and impairs enzyme liberation.
Another process that is used in the manufacturing is high pressure filtration through a very fine screen in order to strip away the fat. This process often removes the very small particles of beneficial components of the whey as well as the fat soluble vitamins.
Many whey proteins are from cows that have been injected with bovine growth hormones, antibiotics and cows that have been fed a grain diet. The best whey will be from grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free cows.
After much research and deliberation, the best cold processed, raw, clean protein whey is from One World Whey. I have gone to great lengths to compare many other proteins, but this one is by far the healthiest and the best. You can learn more about this incredible super food by reading this research paper.
You can add this to water, nut milk or your smoothies. I highly recommend that you make One World Whey a part of your daily nutritional habits and watch your waist line slim down, be ready for increased energy and notice how much better you feel.
