Does super heating or cooking protein harm it? My son claims that heating it with coffee will even dimini****'s effectiveness. I can't seem to find any difinitive answers on the internet.

It probably does a little but not enough to worry about. Vitalady talks to the vendors and such, she may know.

If I remember this theory right . . . there are some manufacturing processes that use very high temperatures in isolating the protein from their source food.  Some people believe that those super high temps will denature the protein, thereby decreasing the biological value or bioavailability of the protein. 

Even if you hold to this theory, it's really only an issue in certain manufacturing processes of protein powders.  Coffee is definitely not hot enough to denature your protein in your protein powder.

Since most of the animal-source protein we eat is cooked, and since cooking denatures protein, I'd guess this is a non-issue.

God it is good to have smart people around.  That was a big old "sssshhhheeeeeeeewwwwww" that you heard from this cake shake addict.

THANK YOU!
