Raw Whey Protein Powder- Natures Preferred Source

Raw Whey Protein Powder- The Ultimate
Grass Fed Whey Protein Source

Raw Whey Protein Powder is a unique supplement derived
from grass fed cow's milk. The casein, which is a milk protein
commonly associated with allergies, is removed when
producing whey protein. Raw Whey Protein powder contains
an excellent spectrum of amino acids which are the building
blocks of protein and are also the precursors of hormones
and neurotransmitters such as thyroid hormone, serotonin,
melatonin, dopamine, adrenaline, etc. Raw whey protein
contains a large amount of beneficial proteins called
immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and serum bovine albumin which
help the body heal and develop proper immunity.

Egg white was long considered the gold standard for protein quality and was assigned a
biological availability value of 100%. Every other protein source such as beef or fish was
measured as a percent of the quality of egg white. But when the biological availability of raw
whey protein was discovered to be much greater than that of egg whites, the percents
were changed to whole numbers. Egg whites were assigned a value of 100 and raw whey
protein powder measures well above 100, depending on the production methods.

Are all Whey Proteins the Same?
NO! Just as there are many different types of cheese, there are also many different methods of
extracting whey protein from whole milk and each process has an effect on the quality of the
whey produced. There is micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, cross-filtration, and ionization to name
a few. But the most important aspect of whey processing is heat, or more specifically, lack of
heat.

Raw milk has never been through the heating process of pasteurization which denatures
the health promoting proteins and destroys the beneficial enzymes found in the raw
milk. Typical high-heat pasteurization denatures the protein which means the beneficial
enzymes, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, serum bovine albumin, growth factors and active
peptides are denatured or broken down into the individual amino acids. This destroys the
beneficial healing effects of the original proteins.

How much Heat is too much Heat?
The fragile proteins in raw milk are denatured at 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Once this
temperature is reached, the milk is much less healthy. Yet all other whey proteins use milk that
has been double pasteurized at 162 degrees. And some have the nerve to still claim to be
"non-denatured" since the whey extraction process did not further denature the already ruined
milk protein. Don't believe them!

The milk used in Dr. Webster's Complete Raw Whey Protein is subjected to the minimum
amount of heat allowed by law. The temperature never reaches 149 degrees and is at or
around 145 degrees for only 30 minutes as required by law. This low temperature process kills
bacteria that might be in the milk but does NOT denature the healthy proteins or enzymes
found in the fresh raw milk.

versus a typical pasteurized whey powder.

So is this product still Raw?
I get this question a lot. The answer depends on which of the three definitions of "raw" you use.

Definition #1- Raw: No heat has been added
Everything in the known universe has heat. Even things that are very cold have some amount
of heat. To have "no heat" means that the object is at absolute zero which is -273.15 degrees
Celsius. And that temperature has only recently been achieved in a very exotic lab experiment.
This definition makes no real sense as it applies to food.

Definition #2- Raw: The product has not been heated beyond its environmental
temperature
If a cow is milked in the winter, the environment might be very cold compared to the
temperature in your house. If a bucket of fresh milk is taken straight from a cow on a cold, 35
degree day and into a warm house where the temperature is 72 degrees, would you say that
milk is no longer raw just because the milk has been heated from 35 degrees to 72 degrees?
Would the milk be less healthy at room temperature? Isn't the room temperature milk just as
"raw" as milk that is produced in the summertime when the outside temperature is above 72
degrees?
Obviously, this definition is of no real use as it applies to food either.

Definition #3- (from Webster's dictionary) Raw: Unchanged or Unaltered from its
natural form
This is the proper definition to use when health is concerned and it is the definition that we use
when we claim that our product is "raw." We test our milk before and after and have determined
that all of the health promoting proteins, amino acids and components in the fresh raw milk are
completely unchanged and unaltered by our proprietary gentle processing technique. So yes,
we feel that our product does qualify as a truly raw product by the only definition of the word
that makes any logical sense.

Cysteine and Raw Whey Protein? How does this
help our bodies Detox ify?
Cysteine is one of the 20 or so amino acids that combine to make up all of the different proteins
that make up life. Different combinations of the 20 amino acids make the diversity we see in the
proteins that make up enzymes, bones, muscles, nerves, hormones, etc. When we do not have
enough of one of the amino acids, our ability to make the proper proteins that our bodies need
is severely diminished.

Although every amino acid is important, the amino acid cysteine should hold special importance
to those trying to detoxify their bodies. Cysteine contains sulphur which means that cysteine
can bind to toxins and ship them to the liver where the liver can further detoxify and eliminate
those toxins. Without high sulphur containing amino acids such as cysteine, the body can not
effectively detoxify.

Cysteine is also a precursor to the most important anti-oxidant in the body- glutathione.
Glutathione is the most abundant anti-oxidant in the body that protects us from damage due to
toxins and free radicals. Glutathione is found in the highest concentration in the brain and the
liver. No wonder low glutathione levels are closely linked to neurologic disorders such as
parkinsons and alzheimers as well as cirrhosis of the liver. Glutathione is also in charge of
pushing toxic metals, such as mercury, out of brain cells so that the other detox pathways can
eliminate the toxic metals from the body. Without cysteine, there would be no glutathione to
help your body eliminate toxic metals or to protect your precious brain or liver.

Heat and Cysteine
Excessive heat from pasteurization causes the amino acid cystine to be broken down into two
molecules of the amino acid called cysteine. When ingested, cysteine does not make it through
the digestive process in tact. This may be the most important aspect of raw whey protein
versus pasteurized whey. Raw whey protein is full of cystine whereas pasteurized whey
contains very little. That cystine will make it through the digestive process and once absorbed it
will be broken down into the all important amino acid called cysteine.

Clearly, our bodies require large amounts of cysteine (from digested cystine) which is most
available in Raw Whey Protein.

Can I get Cysteine/Cystine from other protein
sources?
In short, not enough. We've already established why high-heat pasteurized milk and
pasteurized whey protein are poor sources for cysteine/cystine. But let's look at other common
protein sources.

Goat's milk- As a whole food, goats milk is preferable over cows milk because it contains very
few allergens and is much easier to digest than cows milk. But when you compare the protein
content in goats milk to that of the low allergen raw whey protein, there is no comparison in the
bio-availability and cysteine/cystine content. Raw whey is much higher in both and raw whey is
equally as easy to digest as goats milk. Further, raw goats milk is very difficult to obtain unless
you own a goat. Yet, raw whey protein is available right here.

Soy- If you want to detoxify, this is definitely NOT the protein source for you. For one thing
there is virtually zero cysteine in soy protein and second, soy contains high amounts of
phyto-estrogens which will bog down your detoxification pathways and increase cancer risk. In
fact, one serving of soy based infant formula contains the same amount of estrogen
as five birth control pills!!! Stay away from soy protein.

Where can I get Raw Whey Protein?
Unfortunately, most health food stores and nutrient shops
do not understand the benefits of raw whey protein
versus pasteurized whey. I carry a professional grade raw
whey protein that was extracted from natural organic milk.
The Jersey A2 cows are fed a year-round diet of
natural green grass- no pesticides or herbicides. Grass
fed cows are healthier than typical cows. This results in
healthier milk that is high in omega-3's and a nutrient called
CLA which aids in fat burning. The whey is extracted from
the fresh milk using a proprietary low heat filtration system
that does not denature the protein and completely leaves
the cystine in tact (unlike cross-flow filtration, micro-filtration,
ultra-filtration,hydrolyzation, ion exchange or other filtration
processes). It is by far the finest source of whey protein I have found.
