Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 For some reason, when I lived in Canada, there was whey powder and whey isolate, period. Back in the US, I'm seeing many variations of " protein " powders -- whey, whey isolate, whey mixtures, " muscle milk " , egg white proteins, etc. etc. Some even brag about being " high casein " , which seems kind of strange. As someone trying to recover from cancer, which is the best to take? I am assuming that cold filtered whey isolate is what I should be taking. I would guess that the next best would be mixtures of whey protein and whey isolate, but I am not sure how much more inferior these are. The whey isolates are quite a bit more expensive. The mixtures are still very high in the important amino acids, but do they contain bad stuff too? Now -- how does one make sure that the whey does not come from cows being fed hormones and antibiotics? Or does the whey isolate form remove all this crap?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I would first of all consider a food allergy test. I know of a colleague that advises to take goat milk for his recovering clients. It just so happens that many people are allergic to goat milk (raw or pasteurized). It is the same with whey. You could or could not be allergic to it.
