Protein Powders and Prepared Drinks

Question
I have found your many explanations and descriptions of proper nutrition to be very excellent but I have to question your negative opinion abour protein powder. You have stated that meat is a better source of protein than the powders and drinks but you have not stated why. Given the excess of hormones, steroids, and saturated fats in animal products, why not choose protein powders? Thank you

Answer
Hi Fred,

First, your body can't use much protein, one serving a day. More than that does not just leave quietly, it does some wear to damage of kidneys, for starters.

Next, processed stuff tends to be stuff that your body can not utilize, like the calcium in milk (REMOVES, not adds) and much of whatever is listed in many processed foods/pills/powders. Just because they put it in doesn't mean it is still there, and if it is still there, doesn't mean it is usable.

Think there are no hormones, steroids, misc. in protein powders, just because they are not listed as such. Why wouldn't they be?
