Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 There are some protein powders from green peas these days. There might be a fully legal one? "Nope. No legal protein powders. SCD has no shortage of legal proteins. Eggs. Cheese. Meat. There's no need to deal with inferior processed protein powders."Besides, by the time they finish processing that protein powder, it is so damaged/denatured -- including the enzymes needed to digest it -- that in some cases is actually harmful to the body. The body is designed to work with whole foods that include vitamins, minerals, fats, and enzymes needed for the proper digestion and assimilation of the nutrients. Modern food producers do the same thing that modern doctors do, try to isolate components to 'fix' them without a good understanding of how the whole thing works together. Although, I think modern food processors/producers care more about profit than anything else, doctors just get brainwashed by the pharacutical companies.I would highly recommend reading 'Nourishing Traditions' by Sally Fallon to understand more about nutrition -- fats, carbs, and proteins -- modern production/cultivation methods vs. traditional preparation/cultivation methods. I accidentally took a microbiology class designed for nursing students (thought it was a simple nutrition class) once, that information combined with 'Nourishing Traditions' and the documentary 'Food Inc.' made for a major eye opening. The Weston A. Price foundation is a good place for nutrition info as well. Google things like 'Omivore's Dilema', 'Real Milk Campaign' or 'Grass-fed Beef' (or chickens/eggs for that matter). Who would have thought that chickens were supposed to eat insects (like other birds - duh)!??! In some ways I feel cheated, but mostly grateful that I know about it now while I can correct things and while my children are still young enough to benefit from the knowledge. My parents were very nutrition minded -- we had our own garden and my mother canned foods and made her own yogurt. We also had milk from a local dairy when I was young. Ironically, 'convenience' crept in when my mother became a nurse and we got our first microwave! O.k., I'm stepping down off the soapbox now! ; )AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, February 8, 2010 7:13:40 PMSubject: Re: Re: Protein powder At 12:11 PM 2/8/2010, you wrote: There are some protein powders from green peas these days.
