Protein absorbency..lets dispell some myths-with scientific data

Repost of a thread I posted in November about the protein absorbency myth. The journal is long but the information in quotation marks came from the journal.

The next time a NUT tells you your body can only process 25 grams of protein in one sitting--refer them to this medical journal.


PAGE S95
"One popular myth is that only
30 g/hr of protein can be absorbed. Although this is commonly
found in both lay and some professional literature,
there is no scientific basis for this claim. It is possible that,
from a volume standpoint, patients might only realistically
consume 30 g/meal of protein during the first year".

Thanks USAF Wife. I had read about this myth on bodybuilding forums but needed something scientific to back it up.

Thanks for posting this! 

In the other thread someone posted info to dispell the myth as well

Just my experience, but if I eat or drink more protein than that in a sitting I get pretty serious intestinal distress. 

My sister gets that if she drinks any protein drinks, even small ones. I think it depends on a person's body how their tummy/intestines react to things. For example, there's no amount of sugar alcohols that my body is happy with, but some people eat a bar with 10 or 12 grams and it doesn't bother them.

A 10 oz steak has over 50 grams and I used to do that routinely. I now drink 40 gram protein shakes every day.

Yeah last week I tried to make my shake w/milk I was uncomfortable all day.

Could've been a lactose reaction though.
