Interesting read...

I read it all the way through - a very good read - thx for posting the link.

This highlights the reason to buy from here - you know exactly what you are getting and are getting quality bioactive / undenatured whey proteins from the PF.

One of the things I didn't know was that blending the protein at a high speed can damage the protein (stated in this article). I usually throw all the ingredients in a blender and mix the heck out of it. Perhaps I should be more careful in my mixing? Alex, what is your take on this point?

A couple things..After finishing the article you find that it is written by a guy from Europe. He thinks that you should only buy europian whey. UHHHH, i dont think so. #1 I trust the FDA in making sure we dont get any dangerous milk products, not the europeans. Wasnt it in Europe where they had Mad Cow Disease? Our milk is pastuerized to keep it safe. I wouldnt risk using a none pastuerized whey just to get a little more protein subfractions. its not going to make one bit of difference in my musclem mass.

there is no such thing as organic whey protein, like he said you should use. Even though I have seen some US companies marketing this, its complete bullshit.

whey protein comes from cheese there is no other way around it. He's just wrong about that.

the whole "cold process" is really just a marketing tool. You can make whey protein from ION, CFM, or Micro (Isochill brand)

He list 7 things and really I only agree with #5. the rest is just not realistic or its plain inaccurate.

The most important part of buying a protein is to know where it comes from. That is why I try to market my branded proteins. CFM, Isochill, Super plasma, TRIFX, and then I try to let everyone know where I get some other proteins. Victoria Milk, Aussie Caseinate, and Micellar.....

Opening and closing the container of protein sort makes me laugh..that is a little dumb. And blending the protein really makes not sense either.

I agree Alex. There certainly were a few things I took exception with...Namely the same point you made....If Europe really had their shit together, why were they the ones with the mad cow disease.

just a statement, there have been several times international markets refused our beef due to mad cow. There are strict guidelines, but diseases are not 100% preventable - anywhere.

that's true
