    whey is more 'natural' for n irish man than cashew nuts. eating whey protein powder is one of the easiest things, if not the easiest thing anyone can do to make their diet healthier. look up the 'naturalistic fallacy', it gets thrown around these threads a lot. also look up the definition of 'processed food' too.

    Is whey powder not processed? Please forgive my ignorance I'm not trying to put down whey at all

    haha exactly this, my doc gave out to me about the amount of eggs too. research has shown that the cholesterol in eggs has no bearing on the cholesterol in the body though

    That's what I thought but I didn't think I had the intellect to question him!

    You expect a doctor to know better.

    It's just an outmoded way of thinking. Long since proved to be fallacious.

    'Processed' doesn't mean anything. it's just a word thrown around when someone needs to convey a certain narrative that they can't convey using facts/specifics. washing, seperation, packaging, sterilisation etc. are all types of processing. it's an empty word. so what is the specific type/types of processing ur trying to avoid?

    Well by processed I mean manufactured. Whey Powder is manufactured along with a load of ingredients I can't even pronounce. Chicken, fish nuts etc aren't I suppose

    maybe some types of whey are. but that doesn't mean they all are. that's saying all chicken is high in fat because of KFC. get unflavoured whey protein concentrate. it only has one ingredient. same holds true with whey as all foods, the shiny packages look nice but are generally a sign of bad food.

    So where do I get some of that whey and what's it called?

    I get it from myprotein.ie unflavoured impact whey. There's prolly other sites too. Don't just take my word on whey, look up some of its benefits and see if u think it would suit u

    If the flavourings used in whey are the worst part of your diet then you are a phenomenal job.
    But chances are it isn't and it's the best issue to focus on.

    Not flavours. For instance, what's lactoperoxidase?
