Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You're welcome Lorelei. I really like that it's made from grass-fed cows and that it's a concentrate rather than an isolate. Although there are those who champion isolates, I trust Dr. Mercola on this one: http://tinyurl.com/3j3pdou Best, Dee > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > > > I would like to purchase whey to add to our smoothies and have been looking through the archives at recommendations.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not by much , and only if you purchase in quantity. I do like the fact that it's a concentrate but I prefer Swanson's because it's also grass-fed. That's a big plus for me. You can Google " why grass fed " for more info, then make your own decision.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You have to be careful on how accurate claims like organic and grass fed and even free range means... not a lot. The cows that this whey came from could have also been fed corn, including GMO corn, hormones and antibiotics. So long as a percentage of their feed is grass they can make that claim. Organic has been watered down as far as advertisement goes, can't trust it. Allowing chickens out of the coop for an hour or two per day gives the seller the right to claim their chickens and eggs are free range. Best you can do is to trust the manufacturer or buy local from someone you know. laura c. http://blog.americangrassfedbeef.com/grass-fed-beef-news.php Farmers Launch Separate Grassfed Label Farmers to Launch Separate Grassfed Label American Grassfed Association will Partner with Food Alliance to Promote a Separate Standard and Certification Program Austin, Texas November 4, 2007 – The American Grassfed Association (AGA), representing over 300 grassfed livestock producers, today announced that they will be launching a certification program in reference to a grassfed label. The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to publish a grassfed claim since 2002. The AGA strongly protested the 2006 revision which addressed the feeding practice alone and did nothing to link the claim to animals raised on pasture. Hence, it would have allowed for animals to be raised in a feedlot, fed antibiotics and growth hormones and bear the grassfed label. Over 19,000 comments were primarily based in opposition to the confinement issue. Rising consumer interest in the potential health benefits of grassfed meats has created new market opportunities for farmers and ranchers. However, without accepted standards and criteria, grassfed claims are being made for a wide variety of management and feeding practices. This lack of clarity has made it difficult for consumers to evaluate grassfed claims. While the USDA standard was intended to remedy the problem, producers are reluctant to wait further as they fear the lack of a definitive standard has already eroded the market as many companies market themselves as grassfed and yet finish their beef in feedlots. The AGA believes it is important to protect the true grassfed producer and consumer by defining the term in a manner that allows for transparency of the entire process. ________________________________ From: Dolores <dgk@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Sun, August 7, 2011 4:04:38 PM Subject: Re: One World Whey Not by much , and only if you purchase in quantity.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 True - and I've been doing that for quite some time. I have been consuming whey protein for a number of years, as well as researched and tried many brands. I finally settled on Swanson's. This particular one was developed by Ori Hofmekler: http://www.prweb.com/releases/swansonvitamins/wheyprotein/prweb2503764.htm As I said. It's your decision to make. I already made mine.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well, since it is produced and sold from the town I was born in, must be good! Actually, since they are claiming its hormone free etc... your probably ok with it. But I still maintain that there are few manufacturers and these companies buy it by the barrel full and repackage it themselves, so it more a matter of price and taste... laura c. ________________________________ From: Dolores <dgk@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Sun, August 7, 2011 4:43:10 PM Subject: Re: One World Whey True - and I've been doing that for quite some time.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 True for the big brands like NOW- but the grass-fed brands are much smaller and are FAR outweighed by the size and number of those that are not grass-fed.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks for Whey info. When a product is recommended from mercola/Swanson, to it's a tough decission, they are both good, but being short on money, I pick the less cost one.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 yea, that might not work out... I may have an allergy to the whey.. have to wait a few days to find out for sure. I have no problem with cream or butter, but I don't drink milk itself. Probably lactose intolerant.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The answer to Dee's question " how then do you account for the fact there are so few whey protein products from grass-fed cows " is that it's NOT a fact. We established in our discussion a few months ago that nearly all dairy cows are grass, silage and hay-fed, getting about a cup of grain during milking to keep them from fidgiting. Beef cattle are commonly finished with grain but can be had grass-fed too. This is the method used by the industry, so perhaps it's not on the label and just maybe in some regions you'd have to investigate to see if they're giving cows soy waste or some such as well, but dairy cows are grass-fed and most areas running dairy herds use grass, hay and silage.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I thought Mercola's " fear piece on whey " must have been written by a first-year student who did not have posession of salient facts. I understand that Mercola says he vets each post from his flock of writers but I don't think he reads the text very thoroughly. It's an unprofessional piece, kinda like what the fella on Healing Crow writes. all good, Duncan Crow > > You're welcome Lorelei.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 You can't surmise details about dairy cattle ranching, Dee, from the observations of someone who doesn't work in the industry. I point out that it won't be too hard to find out that dairy products are mainly from forage-fed cows, and that sometimes other examples are dredged up to make some kind of point. Grain is so expensive that they don't really want to hand it over to dairy cows unless they really needed to get rid of it. But while we're on the subject, all bets are off purity-wise in North America since the radioactive fallout from Japan and possibly the two in the Missouri river basin makes milk radioactive.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I didn't write this on my website, Dee, but I toured six dairy farms on Vancouver Island and saw the cows eating grass and yielding grass-fed milk products. In the Fraser Valley and Vancouver the dairymen also feed the dairy cattle silage and cut grass. The beef cow ranches I was at in the interior of BC finish their animals on grain.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, apparently there's a flaw in your reading comprehension Duncan because you didn't seem to notice that my question regarded your medical credential and degrees. It's a fair question since you characterized Dr. Mercola's opinion as " must have been written by a first year student " . So what exactly are your own credentials and degrees?

Medical degrees/credentials mean less than nothing when it comes to natural health, Dee, you should know that. I, personally - and even you, Dee - know vastly more than most 'Doctors' about how to cure disease and maintain a healthy body/mind. Duncan has quite a bit more knowledge than I do in many areas.
