Raw Whey Protein- The Ultimate Protein Source
Raw Whey Protein is a food partial derived from cow's milk as a by-product of making
cheese. The casein (cheese), which is a milk protein commonly associated with allergies,
is removed when producing whey. Raw Whey Protein 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. It contains a large amount of healing proteins called
immunoglobulins which help the body 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 more than 70% 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 measures around 170 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 destroys
many of the beneficial enzymes of raw milk. Pasteurization also denatures the protein
which means the beneficial immunoglobulins are broken down into the individual amino
acids, losing the beneficial healing effects of the immunoglobulins. Further, the denaturing
actually causes the amino acid cysteine to be converted into a different amino acid called
cystine. This may be the most important aspect of raw whey protein versus pasteurized
whey. Raw whey protein is full of cysteine whereas pasteurized whey contains very little
cyteine.
What is Cysteine? How does this help us Detox?
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 could 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 pull the toxic metals out of the body. Without cysteine, there
would be no glutathione to help your body eliminate toxic metals or to protect your precious
brain or liver.
Clearly, we need large amounts of cysteine which is most available in Raw Whey Protein.
Can I get Cysteine from other protein sources?
In short, not enough. We've already established why pasteurized milk and pasurized whey
protein are very low in cysteine. 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 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, unpasteurized (raw) whey protein is available.
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. 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 so the best place to obtain it is from
Complete Health. I carry a professional grade raw whey protein that was made from the
milk of organic grass fed cows using only a low heat filtration system that completely
leaves the cysteine in tact. This also insures that the milk is high in omega-3's and
another molecule called CLA which aids in fat burning. It is by far the finest source of whey
protein I have found.
