When protein manufacturers throw around fancy words like cross flow
 microfiltration, oligopeptides, ion-exchange, whey isolates, biological value and they list
numerous scientific references, it sure sounds convincing. But don't forget that the
supplement industry is big business. The truth is that as long as you eat a sufficient
quality of whole food proteins at frequent intervals throughout the day, it’s not necessary
to consume any protein supplements whatsoever to get outstanding results. The main advantage of protein supplements is convenience. Whey-based protein
powders are an excellent way to get protein if you’re not consuming enough from whole
foods, but they’re NOT better than whole foods. The human digestive system was not
designed to process liquids all day long; it was designed to digest food.
By over-consuming liquid protein supplements you’re only short-changing yourself on the thermic
effects that solid food provides. Similarly, amino acid tablets provide no benefit that food
cannot. Amino acids are nothing more than an extremely expensive way to get extra protein.
