Is whey protein (or any protein powder) unhealthy?

[p100]

According to doctor friends it is bad for kidneys. Dr. google says the same thing.

What does the misc say?

But but ..... anabolic window?

[beansieweansie]

some doctors are fukin retards and graduated in 1920. as long as you arent taking 15 scoops a day youll be good man. i take 1-3 scoops a day and im really healthy. also show me where it says protein powder when used in normal amounts is unhealthy.

drs dont know everything. med school doesnt teach you about whey protein. they read an article and theyre forcing their bro science on you

whey is simple ingredients. no its not bad for you. that dr is an idiot. theyre not the know all to end all

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

they’re all useless, I don’t use any supplements. geeks in my gym have garbage bags filled with whey and make no gains

[davik]

'dont eat processed foods'

[p100]

It appears the fear is unfounded. They can only say whey is bad because of unknown ingredients or overdosing on protein.

This times 100.

Whey protein is a massive waste of money for the average lifter in my opinion, I stopped taking it years ago and see no difference.

Eat a good meal with an actual natural protein source everyday and you're pretty much golden.

does your doctor friend even lift? that's like taking diet advice from an obese nutritionist

its legit a meal replacement for protein. its protein. so weird to say 'its a waste of money, i just bought food' also its pretty much cheapest protein you can get p/g

and you think whey isnt natural? lol @ this whole post

[irollurmom]

nah two scoops a day for nearly 6 years and my kidneys are fine

unless you're ygbodybuilder and all you take is whey

[Merc009]

Whey protein is “bad” the same way alcohol, fast food, milk, processed foods, etc are bad for you


Nowadays everything is bad even vegetables with their pesticides

[KathleenRyan]

I took whey protein once and I died.

[swoleyo]

'dont eat processed foods'

Why does that even matter? Your body melts anything down you eat into a liquid before processing it anyways so in essence everything becomes a processed food

[doughnutking]

It completely ruined my friends sphincter.

The doctors originally thought he was lacking fibre in his diet and by the time they realised it was the whey protein it was too late.

He is 26 years old and every time he needs to fart he says it is like Russian roulette, because he never knows if it will be an innocent fart or full on chitting his pants. Fucin sucks.

Fuc whey protein.

get protein from food and you wont need an answer to this

[Nicklol]

the fda probably only checks that sht once every few years and once they pass..they dont check again.

we could be drinking flavored sawdust
or steroids sprinkled into the powder. who knows

if you take
alot of proetin
from food and 2-3 scoops per day
then yes..its overloading your body

look for fats and sugar, the same
once you exceed the limit they do harm more than good

if you skipped meals
then its a good replacement or addition
to snacks

milk is 99% or whatever water by weight. plus some protein and sugar.

they take the milk and isolate the protons.

you take the protons and mix them back with water or with more milk.


its like condensed milk but less sugar. Youre not going to need a kidney transplant if you drink it, thats fuking retarded.

[blissful88]

It's made from cheese you retards, of course it's healthy. It's literally powdered food.

Doubt anyone questions what whey is, the problem is how much of it is authentic, and the risk of contaminants etc.

[Bigdumogre]

I use a scoop a day making protein doughnuts or protein cheesecake bites.

[Workout4ever]

i bought 11 pounds of whey protein only to realize it left me feeling kinda sick after

might have to go back to trying isolate...

[Sublime25]

I avoid any sort of whey, I drink egg whites and raw eggs instead.

[spicewood1990]

Literally just a byproduct of the dairy industry

Lol at saying 'take whey protein'

Outside of those that suffer lactose related GI distress, have an underlying kidney problem or are simply consuming retarded amounts of protein, crack on.

It's a sweet, fast digesting source of aminos.

[JStrez]

I prefer to eat my protein, and it makes me feel better tbh.
