Rancid Protein Found in Many Supplements

Feb. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Jan. 29, 2013 - WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. -- Athletes, fitness advocates and dieters who routinely use whey supplements have a good chance of ingesting rancid and potentially toxic protein. Many are processed with acid chemicals.

“Acid processing breaks down the fragile molecular bonds of key amino acids rendering the whey deficient and inferior,” stated Ori Hofmekler, creator of the Warrior Diet and Defense Nutrition.  “Furthermore, some whey products labeled as premium grass fed are nevertheless acid treated. Acid treatment is the cheapest way to separate the whey from the casein curd. Acidification damages the whey similar to heat processing.”

Facts: Quality whey proteins are derived from sweet cheese manufacturing; whereas inferior whey proteins are derived from acid cheese or acid casein manufacturing.

Whey was initially discarded as waste or used for animal feed but later on discovered by scientists as outstandingly beneficial and one of the most powerful immuno supportive foods available.  It’s naturally occurring in mammals’ breast milk designed to support newborn growth and provide protection against infections and disease. “But to provide these benefits the whey must be derived from whole milk not skim milk, and it should come from healthy grass-fed cows.” Says Hofmekler and adds, “you can instantly detect the quality of whey via small and taste. If it has a funky smell and a notable after taste- it is most likely rancid and potentially toxic.”

Hofmekler’s Warrior Whey protein powder is manufactured to retain all of whey protein’s benefits without processes that render the protein inferior. It is available for purchase now at www.warriorwhey.com.
