Most whey on the market is isolated or hydrolyzed. The protein is put under a lot of pressure and heat to separate it. This changes the structure of the protein into something less desirable. Hydrolyzed (any protein) is a hidden source of MSG as well. That’s why I usually recommend hemp or rice protein. You can try Nutribiotic brown rice protein powder or Nutiva hemp powder. There are other good products out there as well.

Hi Sho! Great article, i have a question about whey.
I want to take whey protein, but I’m not sure what kind is best. I see different names like, whey concentrate, whey isolate, hydrolyzed whey. You mentioned whey isolate is not good~which I figured, since you told me soy isolate is not good either. But what about the other 2, whey concentrate and hydrolyzed whey.
Is there any names/brands you would recommend? Or is there a better source of protein you recommend?
Thanks so much, Alicia

Thanks! Yes, even organic does not mean MSG-free. It’s truly dirty. This is why most boxed foods are problematic. Keep reading those labels, and telling everyone that you can. Eventually, the public will realize that they are being duped by large corporations who put $$ before health. Also, yay for putting down those little yellow packets, that is another scam! Most artificial sweeteners have a shady history of how they got approved, and should never be ingested! http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-sweeteners.html Stevia is the safest and most natural alternative to sugar. It’s an herb, and not manufactured in a lab.
