Question about heating whey

[Tillday]

I remember reading a thread about heating whey and how it can make it less effective in some form, I think they said it nutates the protein or something?
It was in regards to cooking with it, which I'm assuming they mean in the oven at like 350*f.

I like to have my protein shake with coffee. I notice if the water is too hot - like fresh boiling out of the kettle instead of mixing into the drink the protein will turn into grainy clumps. I won't drink it like that because it's ****ing gross, but I'm wondering if it might still be damaging at slightly lower temps, like a steamy drink. It would be hot enough that it's still above body temp so I'm not exactly sure, would it just be safer to stick with cold milk?

Hot chocolate = heated whey and casein.

So no diminished nutrition?

Heating milk is fine. You can even heat the cow.

All that will do is denature the protein. It destroys the functionality of the protein which you generally don't care about but the nutritional value is still retained. It's what happens when it passes through your stomach anyway.
