Dairy Effect on Body Fat - Was : Re: Whey

[Guest guest]

Whey cool or calcium thermogenic (or both)???

From the study below: ACE I/D polymorphism was a significant

predictor of overweight and abdominal adiposity in men.

Peptides found in whey protein (such as alpha-lactalbumin and

beta-lactoglobulin) have been shown to inhibit ACE activity.
