@lucbelico Don't hear what you wanna hear, RAW and organic milk is much different than the pasturized and hormone filled garbage you buy at the store.
@marinezh It's just protein -- how will 4 eggs hurt you? Unless you have kidney disease high protein is fine, and it won't raise your cholesterol either. Adkins diet is very healthy if you can stick with it.
Dr. Mercola, I like shakes but not for breakfast, i like to have whole grain cereal with some flaxcseed and berries, and some greek yogurt. or I'll have a couple of eggs and alternate between omlets including spinach and onion, scrambled w/ spinach and onion, hard boiled, or poached with yogurt on the side with ether granola/berries, wheat germ/berries, or flaxseed/berries on it, or il have some oatmeal or cream of wheat high in protein/fiber. Are these 3 good breakfast choices.
@realblackhart Avoid the wheat, and do NOT cook the eggs. (Especially do NOT scramble them.) You're practically defeating the entire purpose of eating them to begin with by destroying the nutritional value within the eggs that benefit your health. Notice how Dr. Mercola goes light on the blending of his shake. (With good reason.) You do not want to destroy your eggs!
You cannot be serious when you talk about these powders ,sorry...it is not about health at all ...no no no...probably better to read ones more Dr.Shelton who proved all he said by his own life or just for one week try raw food as the Doctor described in his books,and you will see...
I used to (20 years ago) mix up a very similar blend of eggs, protein powder and milk, etc, and had excellent results. I will definetely try your combination!
But lately I started doing the P90X workouts and have been using Vega Sport pre-workout and performance protein mixes and have been losing the ugly fat and gained muscle and strength and have been feeling much better over all. For convenience (it's all in powder form) I find it better, when I'm away from home.
you mention the sweetener is Lohan, but the ingredients say digestive resistant maltodextrin and I would appreciate clarification. I am worried about the12 ingredients when there is another product called Vital Whey I am considering that only has 4 ingridients. Please respond.
Hi, Dr. Mercola, I'm wondering if it's safe to eat raw eggs as you can get salmonella? I've started usig my unrafined coconut oil today :). Thank you for your aswer!
Dr. Mercola. Since I can't easily get raw milk, what about using almond milk? I've heard that humans can't easily digest cow's milk and that it creates excess mucous and stomach acidity. I am an A Pos blood type. Thanks so much for all that you do.
@iferraro Raw milk contains lactase which helps with the digestion of the lactose. Mucous comes from A-1 beta casein, which comes from non-heritage breed cows (in my experience, usually smaller local raw milk farms use heritage breeds). Check out the book Devil in the Milk. There's a LOT of FUD spread about milk, and it's all based on industrialized milk.
If you can't get raw milk, go for coconut milk (make your own; the store bought stuff tastes like water)
i'm reading your book healthy recipes for your nutritional type but i don't understand which recipe is best for each type ( at the end of every recipe you refer the calories so that means that the nutritional type with the lowest colories can eat this meal)?
@rosepatrick2009 wrote : "WHAT ABOUT THE HIGH AMOUNTS OF CHOLESTEROL IN THE FOUR EGGS."
There apparently isn't a very high amount in egg yolks, and none or practically none in the white part. This is based on what I read about more recent findings than the report from the Framingham Heart Institute during the early 1990s, and possibly earlier. They later reported that they had previously been in error.
I have the cholesterol problem, genetically, but can eat a couple of eggs every day.
Hello. I am a bit confused about this video. This video was made in 2010 but there is a Mercola video on YouTube from June 3, 2007 titled, "Is Raw Milk Right For You?" in which Dr. Mercola said he cannot drink raw or pasteurized milk. In fact, he said, “I must stay away from all dairy in all way, shape, or form.”
I would like to know how he came to tolerate milk 3 years later. Thanks!
I think that raw free range farm egg yolks are helping my nails, hair and skin to look much better..also my energy level is higher on 100 percent raw foods. I also eat very limited amounts of raw goat cheese and raw fish...that is the good kind...I am on a neolithic raw diet...raw buckwheat...wild rice that is raw and sprouted...I feel amazing...kale kale kale...bee pollen...his breakfast is wonderful
Wait a Minute DOC, I don´t Understand what you were saying to vrwhitlockable... You told him that there´s MSG in the Whey Protein Concentrate that you produce? And it also works as a pre-biotic food to support health gut flora. has MSG.... What's this all about man? Please light me up on this, cuz it doens't sound good, MSG is BAD for the Human body, as you already know yourself!
Dr Mercola, I dont mean to be pedantic, accuse you of not following your own values, or adopt a conspiratorial mindset here but didn't you put a vid a couple of years back saying that if you drunk raw cows milk/cows milk it would induce renal failure for yourself. I would be interested, if this is not just a quick harmless gulp for demonstration purposes, what it is that has changed this situation?
Dr. Mercola I am confused about why your whey protein has maltodextrin in it and in your video entitled "choosing the best whey protein" you told us to avoid maltodextrin, so which is it? Thanks.
@vrwhitlockable The maltodextrin content is naturally occurring digestive resistant maltodextrin, which Is a non-digestible fiber. This is just another name for a water soluble fiber (long chain saccarides) that naturally occur in maize and other plants. That fiber has shown to help lower blood sugar and blood lipids.
@vrwhitlockable And it also works as a pre-biotic food to support health gut flora. has MSG. This is completely different than the typical NON digestive resistant maltodextrin that is use in many other products that will raise your insulin level and also
1. seems to be alot of fat in the shake - 4 egg yolks, 2 scoops coconut & alot of full cream milk. is that much fat necessary?
2. why no carbohydrates at all for breakfast? breakfast would seem the optimal time for some wholegrain carbohydrates
3. seems like alot of protein? 2 extra large eggs, whey powder & alot of milk. great for a bodybuilder but is that much protein necessary for a normal person?
@ekhoury1000 You really need to educate yourseff on fats. REAL fats - even saturated fats - are good for you. It's the trans fats which are clogging up your arteries and causing obesity and cancer. Eating fat does not make you fat. Pick up a copy of "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" by Sally Fallon Morell and Mary G. Enig to learn the truth about fats. Or watch the documentary Fathead and see how a guy lowered his bad cholesterol by going on a "saturated fat pig-out" as he put it.
Special thanks to Dr Mercola, now I've been using raw milk and eggs from a local farmer. This video made me ask around and lucky enough, the guy who i was buying raw honey from, had 4 cows and dozens of chickens that lay eggs.
My breakfast is similar to this except the whey and fiber.
I use milk, 2 eggs, coconut milk, raw honey and blend them together. That and a piece of homemade wheat bread with a few fruits (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and one banana) and I'm good to go :)
Dr. Mercola, right now I am on a diet which includes avoiding dairy products because of my unhealthy inflammation. Do you think whey might be ok, though it is made from milk? And/or do you have a recomendation for an alternative protein drink (I use them for breakfast). Thanks.
@englandr21 Do the try and see approach. If you have avoided dairy for some time your body will indicate that it wont tolerate whey if you ARE intolerant. For me it was simply a sick feeling in the stomach. It was disappointing, but you have to listen to body advice or wear it down the track. Dr M did say that you can use water... I would add coconut cream (undiluted coconut milk- and is better value) for flavour and texture.
I am really interested in purchasing the miracle whey. But I am really concerned that the second highest ingredient is "maltodextrin" from corn. That is a substance that his high glycemic. I realize that it may be good for people who engage in intense exercise, I am quite ill and unable to be so active beyond moderate exercise. I know that maltodrextrin can cause weight gain. Can you explain why you use this? Can you also recommend an alternative for more sedentary people?
@lemaxmas The maltodextrin content should be labeled as naturally occurring digestive resistant maltodextrin, which Is a non-digestible fiber. This is just another name for a water soluble fiber (long chain saccarides) that naturally occur in maize and other plants.
@lemaxmas Digestive resistant maltodextrin has also been shown to help lower blood sugar and blood lipids. And it also works as a pre-biotic food to support health gut flora. Probiotics are essentially important for the digestion and utilization of protein. In fact, probiotics increase the biological value of the protein.
@mercola Thanks very much for this thorough reply. Can you tell me is the corn source of the DRM organic? If not can you be assured of it being non-GMO? Thanks again.
Back before fire was invented, everything was raw. A human was lucky to reproduce once or twice before it died. Cooking kills things that kill humans.
I started making protein shakes a couple of weeks ag. I make it the night before I need it. I use a scoop of the whey protein, 1 banana, a scoop of psyllium and 2 scoops of oats and the fill the container with water. I have some coconut milk I try adding that to my shakes. My question is does it matter where I source my ingredients? I heard you say that the psyllium is flooded with pesticides. Thanks Raine :)
Hi doc! Thank you for the info! I got a question...
Does this whey protein can cause me acne like others whey proteins that i have tried? And why do i have this problem, because the soon i stop drinking whey protein my acne dissapears...I'm 17 by the way...
Dr. Mercola, don't you worry about the BPA and other plastic pollutants in the lining of the coconut milk can? I try to minimize my use of canned coconut milk since a high fat food like easily absorbs toxins like those.
@morena76 You have been misinformed by the media. Egg yolks, especially raw ones, are a very healthy food. Please use the search engine on my site for dozens of comprehensive articles which more fully address this issue.
i have a question regarding whey powder! I workout 5 days a week to tone my body and increase strength and I've been told to use whey protein. Now im a bit skeptical about it as i read mixed comments including those who say that whey powder contains dangerous metals (arsenic, mercury etc) . I did however use it for 2 months and now i finally gave up on it. Although it takes me 2 days to recover, my strength has increased. Whats your take on it and if so how do you trust the ones you use?
@RigsPGT Am a firm believer in HIGH QUALITY whey protein concentrate not isolate. Our Miracle Whey is from grass fed organic caws and extracted from raw not pasteurized milk. it is loaded with leuciine which is typically the rate limiting amino acid for muscle growth. Ideally take two scoops 30-50 minutes after your workout. Sequencing is crucial. Of course not junk food or sugar.
Your videos made me research milk and food in greater depth and finally found a local farmer who i will be getting raw milk from. I consume lots of dairy products (probably not the best) but at least now I know what I'm feeding my body. Soon enough, i will be making a few changes to my shopping places as well in the hunt for good food.
Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good spirit! You seem to be one of the very few to really care!!!
Thank you for this great information. I thought I read on your site that you add a banana on strength training days. Should I never add a banana if I'm trying to lose weight? Could I add one on days that I'm not doing Peak 8? Also, Darin Steen is saying to avoid coconut milk on Peak 8 days. I don't have access to raw milk yet - can I still use coconut in my smoothie? I'm trying to make it as palatable as possible.
Dr. Mercola, I've been using your Miracle Whey for quite awhile and love it. I, however, am now on an anti-inflammatory diet (from my naturopath) to try to combat recent diagnosis of scarring alopecia/Lichen planopilaris (diet includes stopping the use of all dairy products). The whey was the last to go, as I didn't want to stop using it (it's my breakfast every day). Do you have any suggestions for a substitute while I'm on this diet? (tried rice protein shake but couldn't stand the taste).
I really want to try this, but unfortunately I don't have access to raw milk at the moment. Would almond milk work as another substitute? Thanks for the recipe!
HI DR MERCOLA, WOULD YOU SUGGEST THIS BREAKFAST TO SOMEONE WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. SHE IS 32 AND HAS HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT AND HER ELBOW CAN BARELY MOVE, SHES BAD AND IN CONSTANT PAIN. THANK YOU.
Dr. Mercola, is it okay to use regular organic eggs and organic whole milk from Whole Foods? It's hard to find egss and raw milk from a local farmer. Also, shouldn't raw eggs be eaten without breaking up the yoke? In other words, shouldn't they be eaten like "Rocky style" by just downing the whole. I read that blending raw eggs destroys some of the nutrients. can you comment on all this?
@khalsasikh Sure but while organic is important pasture raised or fed is a more important label for eggs but see if you can find a local farmer that sells them which is relatively easy to do, that is better than any eggs at Whole Food
@khalsasikh yes! it is NOT good to blend them. Same goes for juicing wheat grass n such. Those juicers are specifically designed to go slow so as to not break up the enzymes and nutrients. Good point. Don't blend this cocktail, stir.
@bumbacutthoat That is a clue that you are allergic to it. Would suggest trying raw milk or better yet raw goat's or sheep milk, if problem still persists avoid milk.
I love this. While it is true that eating too many raw egg whites by themselves will cause you to suffer from a biotin deficiency, the fact is that nature created the egg in such a way that its yolk is VERY rich in biotin. One of the highest concentration in nature. Eat the raw egg whole together with the egg white and you will be fine. Eat foods in the manner in which they were created is the highest form of nutrition!
@julietesterman Unless you take a bit out of raw cassava (the manner in which it was created), which will kill you. Same goes for kidney beans and rhubarb.
Sir, thanks so much for all your helpful information! Just wondering if you had any info on the difference/benefits of whey concentrate vs. whey isolate. Seems like I read more benefits of whey isolate, but noticed that Defense Nutrition uses whey concentrate...just curious why. Thanks!
whey concentrate is superior to whey isolate. Whey isolate powders are generally manufactured through ion exchange processing which involves high heat and acid treatment. In comparison, quality whey protein concentrate such as in Miracle whey is cold processed and is not acid treated.
@DCride You can detect the quality of the whey proteins through taste and solubility. Virtually all protein isolates (including whey, soy, hemp etc) has a nasty aftertaste and their solubility is generally compromised. If you try chewing a whey isolate powder it has a notable unpleasant taste and it’s virtually impossible to chew it due to low solubility.
Thanks for posting the precise measurements. I'm going to the local farm tomorrow evening during milking hour to get raw milk and raw eggs. I'll use the other ingredients I currently have on hand to make this for supper. If I like it and if I can overcome the "ick" factor that I have about drinking raw eggs (I had a texture issue with eggs for a long time), I'll be sure to try it with your protein powder and organic ingredients.
@mercola You're right. I didn't notice the eggs at all. I had my first shake tonight after a rigorous bike ride and really enjoyed it. I got the raw milk from a local farm, but they were out of raw eggs so I had to buy organic brown eggs at a grocery. I'll try them next time. I felt really nourished shortly after drinking it. However, I think I'm going to have to cut the recipe in half next time; I'm not active enough to burn off the fat and calories (42g of my RDA of 65g for one meal)!
@mbozza two scoops of protein powder. one scoop of shredded coconut, one scoop of chia seed powder, two to four raw eggs and enough raw milk to fill quart jar 3.4 full.
@lufflanger NOT true. That is only true for eating raw egg whites. Egg yolks are loaded with biotin and more than compensate for the avidin biotin binder in the whites
I just located a local dairy where I can get both raw eggs and raw milk; going to give it a try. I'm curious about one thing, though. In a 2007 video titled "Is Raw Milk Right for You?" Dr Mercola explains that he cannot take raw milk and has to avoid all dairy or his kidneys start to fail; clearly he's overcome this obstacle if he's drinking raw milk now. I'd like to know what changed between now and then.
Canned food are best avoided. It is mandatory that in the production proses manufactures must spray the insides of the cans with a fungicide or something similar prior to the cans being filled, They are not allowed to rinse the cans.
@Dosalt You don't need a coconut, It is added for flavor and nutrition. Apparently you are out of the loop and unaware how important coconuts are to health as they are a valuable source of many short chained fatty acids.
That's true if you only eat the whites. Egg yolks have one of the highest concentrations of biotin found in nature. So it is likely that you will not have a biotin deficiency if you consume the whole raw egg, yolk and white. I've consumed raw eggs for a decade now... full head of hair! LOL
I'd use raw goat milk if you must use milk. It's closely related to human milk, therefore easier to digest. Also, I would be concerned about Salmonella with the raw eggs, although Dr. Mercola may know something that I don't w/re: to that subject.
can I add a banana in there as well? I know it has fructose in it and Dr, Mercola says to avoid it but since it's a fruit form is it okay? The reason I ask is because I use Hemp Protein in it and it's really lacking in taste.
For a post-workout treat, I like zapping up a peanut-butter, banana, coconut, protein, chocolate Vega, and chocolate hemp milk version. Man, is this ever a challenge to drink slowly... haha! I have a bit before I burn, and bring the rest to the dojo in a jar.
@tabrettologist Yes the raw eggs that are from the store from chickens caged up. Those fresh from the farmer when you know what the chickens are fed and the chickens are out roaming in the fresh grass are perfectly safe to eat raw. You need to read Mercola's website about the risk of samonella poisoning before spouting off like you know what you're talking about.
Wouldn't you suggest real foods for breakfast and not a protein supplement? I really like the recipe, but off the top of my head I figure that there is over 60g of protein in that shake. That seems a little high for Dr. Mercola or any normal person.
@alijoyism People can digest raw milk. It's the pasterized dairy from the store that some people can't tolerate. It's how they process it and destroy all the vital nutrients in it.
@AGuyWhoPunkUMama not sure exactly what mercola meant but look at the ingredients cuz last time i looked at those products it was like 60% coconut and 40% gum or something weird like that
On top of that, these neurotransmitters also then occupy receptors of other neurotransmitters, like serotonine- and dopamine receptors. For example, 3-methoxycarbonyl-beta-carboline acts through different receptors and increases secretion and decomposition of dopamine, like physical stress does. They also can cause cancer by damaging cell-DNA. Nitrosated HCA is worse. These include: * pyridoindole (80) (amino-gamma-carboline), 2-amino-9H-pyrido(2,3-b)indole(81) (amino-alpha-carboline), etc.
Should I go even further and talk about AGE's (advanced glycation end products)? And how much they increase in cooked food and cause premature aging and disease and how our bodies only have AGE receptors for small amounts that are naturally found in nature too? I mean, these toxic compounds are already well-known in the scientific community. To ignore this would be a joke at this point.
@JackNeedles and @westboarder.....interesting. After reading your whole to and throw. I think Jack is clearly right about what he states but that Westy has fallen into the trap of thinking that RCTs and peer reviewed information is gospel. There comes a time when one has to assimilate the knowledge base to have a focus of certainty. This clinical focus is rarely something best assessed by an RCT. I really hope westboarder reads my next post as he needs thisgrowth of perspective 4 science's sake
@JackNeedles Cite a laboratory study that shows these "toxic compounds" being formed. Strangely enough I haven't heard nutritionists or scientists decrying the consumption of eggs, strangely quite the opposite.
I can't post links on Youtube, but, if you know how to use the internet, I am sure you are smart enough (you are, right?) to Google something like "cooked foods toxins" and find studies on it. Very easy. But, let's just look at this question again. Easy to solve, if you understand biochemistry. Let's look at a few toxic compounds that are formed by putting one and two together, thanks to our basic understanding of biochemistry.
@JackNeedles You don't need to post a link, just a published study. From the National Cancer Institute - "Temperature is the most important factor in the formation of HCAs. Frying, broiling, and barbecuing produce the largest amounts of HCAs because the meats are cooked at very high temperatures. One study conducted by researchers showed a threefold increase in the content of HCAs when the cooking temperature was increased from 200° to 250°C (392° to 482°F)."
Not true. AGE's increase just by cooking at normal temperatures. Also, the fact is, when fat, amino acids, and sugar (carbs) are heated together, they bind and create toxic compounds. You do not have to overcook eggs in order for the cholesterol to become oxidized either. Just boiling eggs will do this or if the egg yolk reacts with the egg white under heat since iron will oxidize it. Once again, this is basic biochemistry.
@JackNeedles You've failed to find a study that establishes eating eggs disease association. The National Cancer Institute doesn't have a toxic established level for any of the compounds you've cited. It's well established that cooking food chemically changes the substance, but you aren't saving yourself from anything.
Every time you flip a light switch you are exposed to mercury. Every time you start your car you are exposed to more levels of nitrosamines than if you gorged yourself on turkey
Now you're saying that this has to do with disease being assocated with the consumption of eggs. Wrong. I said cooked animal products, because oxidized cholesterol is quite toxic, along with the many other toxxins found in food. there are many studies out there. You just don't want to simply Google it because you know I am right. NCI is a joke, please. They're way behind. Cooking, in most cases, creates highly toxic compounds like the ones I pointed out.
And yes, what has pollution from vehicles done for this world? Has it made us healthier? No. Chemicals from pollution is linked to disease. So you can't use that analogy. The fact is, when we eat a diet high in cooked foods, it is 1. not natural, since we haven't had enough time to adapt to a cooked diet and it's toxins that it creates and 2. we are saturating our bodies with toxic compounds that cause disease and premature aging. Our bodies can only handle them at natural levels.
That's a wonderful lie, because when you Google "AGE's", many sites pop up that are linked to well documented research. Wikipedia has some good stuff on it. Obviously, if you knew anything about basic biochemistry, you would know what the Maillard reaction is. Any biochemist does. That's like saying you need studies to prove that 5 x 5 = 25.
In fact, the millard reaction itself creates a large amount of AGE's and that's just from normal temp. cooking (other toxins are also created by the milllard reaction). This is just from protein & sugar molecules reacting under heat. Acrylamide is another toxin found in BAKED, fried, and GRILLED starchy food. Once again, there doesn't have to be extreme high heat cooking. Wikipedia itself clearly states "baked/fried/grilled". But most people eat food cooked at or above 310 F anyway.
@JackNeedles Biochemistry the only science class you've ever taken. If you knew anything about debate you would stop using ad hominem approaches. And if you knew anything about valid medical argumentation you would know that a pseudo scientific website doesn't substitute for a peer-reviewed journal.
Ahh, here come the scathing remarks. A sure sign of uncertainty and lack of knowledge. No, but what we're talking about has to do with human biochemistry, does it not? Therefore it has everything to do with the topic at hand. So Wikipedia is a "pseudo scientific" website? Because that's the only one I mentioned. You're the one asking for a study for everything like it's the God-to honest truth. A good number of studies are often falsified and can be conducted the wrong way. That means nothing.
Furthermore, if you cannot at least debate me on a level of biochemistry, then you really have no business even trying to converse with me about science, since you obviously seem to lack in that area and just regergitate old/junk science. I mean, come on. Protein bioavailability is the most overstated subject and I laugh when people who don't understand it talk about that, because they really don't even know what that means. "Somehow, only heat makes it bioavailable." How much more torture, sir?
@JackNeedles "A good number of studies are often falsified and can be conducted the wrong way. That means nothing." - This is why your education is biochemistry is entirely irrelevant. You have no way of discerning what is esteemed information in the medical practice. Have a thorough undertaking of what peer-reviewed means.
No, because studies being falsified has nothing to do with biochemistry itself because that is a science, a practice. You don't even know what you're talking about. Studies, when done right, just conclude, make something more concrete. That's it. Biochemistry, science itself is what proves things to be true or untrue. If you don't understand human biochemistry and how the body digests protein, then you obviously don't know what you're talking about and have to ask for "studies." Thats the truth.
Just because a carcinogen hasn't been linked to disease doesn't mean it doesn't cause disease. So yes, every single nation does eat cooked meat and the disease rate continues to go up. Can you be somewhat healthy and eat cooked foods? Sure. Is it ideal if you want ideal health? No. If we consumed at least 80 of our foods uncooked, our bodies would not be saturated with unatural amounts of these toxic compounds and would thrive much better and we would live longer.
@JackNeedles "If we consumed at least 80 of our foods uncooked, our bodies would not be saturated with unatural amounts of these toxic compounds and would thrive much better and we would live longer."
@JackNeedles Old junk science? You've failed the scientific method, don't use your hypothesis as though it were scientific fact. There are hundreds of carcinogens you are exposed to daily, that haven't been conclusively tied to disease. Pe

@iferraro Raw milk contains lactase which helps with the digestion of the lactose. Mucous comes from A-1 beta casein, which comes from non-heritage breed cows (in my experience, usually smaller local raw milk farms use heritage breeds). Check out the book Devil in the Milk. There's a LOT of FUD spread about milk, and it's all based on industrialized milk.
If you can't get raw milk, go for coconut milk (make your own; the store bought stuff tastes like water)

There apparently isn't a very high amount in egg yolks, and none or practically none in the white part. This is based on what I read about more recent findings than the report from the Framingham Heart Institute during the early 1990s, and possibly earlier. They later reported that they had previously been in error.
I have the cholesterol problem, genetically, but can eat a couple of eggs every day.

Hello. I am a bit confused about this video. This video was made in 2010 but there is a Mercola video on YouTube from June 3, 2007 titled, "Is Raw Milk Right For You?" in which Dr. Mercola said he cannot drink raw or pasteurized milk. In fact, he said, “I must stay away from all dairy in all way, shape, or form.”
I would like to know how he came to tolerate milk 3 years later. Thanks!

@vrwhitlockable The maltodextrin content is naturally occurring digestive resistant maltodextrin, which Is a non-digestible fiber.

@RigsPGT Am a firm believer in HIGH QUALITY whey protein concentrate not isolate. Our Miracle Whey is from grass fed organic caws and extracted from raw not pasteurized milk. it is loaded with leuciine which is typically the rate limiting amino acid for muscle growth. Ideally take two scoops 30-50 minutes after your workout. Sequencing is crucial. Of course not junk food or sugar.

I love this. While it is true that eating too many raw egg whites by themselves will cause you to suffer from a biotin deficiency, the fact is that nature created the egg in such a way that its yolk is VERY rich in biotin.

whey concentrate is superior to whey isolate. Whey isolate powders are generally manufactured through ion exchange processing which involves high heat and acid treatment. In comparison, quality whey protein concentrate such as in Miracle whey is cold processed and is not acid treated.
mercola 1 year ago
@DCride You can detect the quality of the whey proteins through taste and solubility. Virtually all protein isolates (including whey, soy, hemp etc) has a nasty aftertaste and their solubility is generally compromised. If you try chewing a whey isolate powder it has a notable unpleasant taste and it’s virtually impossible to chew it due to low solubility.

On top of that, these neurotransmitters also then occupy receptors of other neurotransmitters, like serotonine- and dopamine receptors. For example, 3-methoxycarbonyl-beta-carboline acts through different receptors and increases secretion and decomposition of dopamine, like physical stress does. They also can cause cancer by damaging cell-DNA. Nitrosated HCA is worse. These include: * pyridoindole (80) (amino-gamma-carboline), 2-amino-9H-pyrido(2,3-b)indole(81) (amino-alpha-carboline), etc.

Should I go even further and talk about AGE's (advanced glycation end products)? And how much they increase in cooked food and cause premature aging and disease and how our bodies only have AGE receptors for small amounts that are naturally found in nature too? I mean, these toxic compounds are already well-known in the scientific community. To ignore this would be a joke at this point.

Let's look at a few toxic compounds that are formed by putting one and two together, thanks to our basic understanding of biochemistry.
JackNeedles 1 year ago
@JackNeedles You don't need to post a link, just a published study. From the National Cancer Institute - "Temperature is the most important factor in the formation of HCAs. Frying, broiling, and barbecuing produce the largest amounts of HCAs because the meats are cooked at very high temperatures. One study conducted by researchers showed a threefold increase in the content of HCAs when the cooking temperature was increased from 200° to 250°C (392° to 482°F)."
I don't cook eggs at 392 degrees
westboarder 1 year ago
Not true. AGE's increase just by cooking at normal temperatures. Also, the fact is, when fat, amino acids, and sugar (carbs) are heated together, they bind and create toxic compounds. You do not have to overcook eggs in order for the cholesterol to become oxidized either. Just boiling eggs will do this or if the egg yolk reacts with the egg white under heat since iron will oxidize it. Once again, this is basic biochemistry.
JackNeedles 1 year ago
@JackNeedles You've failed to find a study that establishes eating eggs disease association. The National Cancer Institute doesn't have a toxic established level for any of the compounds you've cited. It's well established that cooking food chemically changes the substance, but you aren't saving yourself from anything.
Every time you flip a light switch you are exposed to mercury. Every time you start your car you are exposed to more levels of nitrosamines than if you gorged yourself on turkey

Now you're saying that this has to do with disease being assocated with the consumption of eggs. Wrong. I said cooked animal products, because oxidized cholesterol is quite toxic, along with the many other toxxins found in food. there are many studies out there. You just don't want to simply Google it because you know I am right. NCI is a joke, please. They're way behind. Cooking, in most cases, creates highly toxic compounds like the ones I pointed out.

And yes, what has pollution from vehicles done for this world? Has it made us healthier? No. Chemicals from pollution is linked to disease. So you can't use that analogy. The fact is, when we eat a diet high in cooked foods, it is 1. not natural, since we haven't had enough time to adapt to a cooked diet and it's toxins that it creates and 2. we are saturating our bodies with toxic compounds that cause disease and premature aging. Our bodies can only handle them at natural levels.

@JackNeedles I did google it. There were no "studies". Just natural health blogs with zero credibility.

That's a wonderful lie, because when you Google "AGE's", many sites pop up that are linked to well documented research. Wikipedia has some good stuff on it. Obviously, if you knew anything about basic biochemistry, you would know what the Maillard reaction is. Any biochemist does. That's like saying you need studies to prove that 5 x 5 = 25.

In fact, the millard reaction itself creates a large amount of AGE's and that's just from normal temp. cooking (other toxins are also created by the milllard reaction). This is just from protein & sugar molecules reacting under heat. Acrylamide is another toxin found in BAKED, fried, and GRILLED starchy food. Once again, there doesn't have to be extreme high heat cooking. Wikipedia itself clearly states "baked/fried/grilled". But most people eat food cooked at or above 310 F anyway.

@JackNeedles Biochemistry the only science class you've ever taken. If you knew anything about debate you would stop using ad hominem approaches. And if you knew anything about valid medical argumentation you would know that a pseudo scientific website doesn't substitute for a peer-reviewed journal.

Ahh, here come the scathing remarks. A sure sign of uncertainty and lack of knowledge. No, but what we're talking about has to do with human biochemistry, does it not? Therefore it has everything to do with the topic at hand. So Wikipedia is a "pseudo scientific" website? Because that's the only one I mentioned. You're the one asking for a study for everything like it's the God-to honest truth. A good number of studies are often falsified and can be conducted the wrong way. That means nothing.

Furthermore, if you cannot at least debate me on a level of biochemistry, then you really have no business even trying to converse with me about science, since you obviously seem to lack in that area and just regergitate old/junk science. I mean, come on. Protein bioavailability is the most overstated subject and I laugh when people who don't understand it talk about that, because they really don't even know what that means. "Somehow, only heat makes it bioavailable." How much more torture, sir?

@JackNeedles "A good number of studies are often falsified and can be conducted the wrong way. That means nothing." - This is why your education is biochemistry is entirely irrelevant. You have no way of discerning what is esteemed information in the medical practice. Have a thorough undertaking of what peer-reviewed means.

No, because studies being falsified has nothing to do with biochemistry itself because that is a science, a practice. You don't even know what you're talking about. Studies, when done right, just conclude, make something more concrete. That's it. Biochemistry, science itself is what proves things to be true or untrue. If you don't understand human biochemistry and how the body digests protein, then you obviously don't know what you're talking about and have to ask for "studies." Thats the truth.

Just because a carcinogen hasn't been linked to disease doesn't mean it doesn't cause disease. So yes, every single nation does eat cooked meat and the disease rate continues to go up. Can you be somewhat healthy and eat cooked foods? Sure. Is it ideal if you want ideal health? No. If we consumed at least 80 of our foods uncooked, our bodies would not be saturated with unatural amounts of these toxic compounds and would thrive much better and we would live longer.

@JackNeedles "If we consumed at least 80 of our foods uncooked, our bodies would not be saturated with unatural amounts of these toxic compounds and would thrive much better and we would live longer."
This is called a hypothesis.
Go back to BIO 1010.

@JackNeedles Old junk science? You've failed the scientific method, don't use your hypothesis as though it were scientific fact. There are hundreds of carcinogens you are exposed to daily, that haven't been conclusively tied to disease. Pe
