Protein Absorption MYTH!
Oct 09, 2007
Protein Absorption MYTH from the Diet and Nutrtion Forum
*snipped*
I wanted to let you know - I have been actively researching this question.
The answer I come up with is that this whole 25-30 g protein per serving is a myth. There is no data I can find to support this claim. In the research, I find nothing. To the contrary, I find info supporting my original idea - protein metabolism is a dynamic process and is not limited by volume as suggested. Protein synthesis in your body IS limited by the quality of protein you consume.
The additional idea that only body builders need more protein - well don't you think a protein starved RNY patient has needs at least equal, if not in excess of that bodybuilder?
Protein & the kidneys - the protein load only affects the kidneys if you have kidney disease. For regular folks, get your fluids and you will be fine!
If someone disagrees - please take me to school! But don't come back at me unless you have reliable, peer-reviewed data! Heresay and 'someone said' doesn't cut it!
My advice - get your protein in and ignore the people who think they know how much protein you can absorb! You are fine!

There was an interesting discussion on the main board, this morning, concerning Robin Roberts, breast cancer diagnosis. It made the little wheel in my head work overtime, when I was asked if I had undergone genetic testing for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 markers for breast and ovarian cancer's. My sister died of breast cancer. My mother died of liver cancer. My grandfather had colon cancer and his sister died of ovarian cancer. Either way you look at it, Im a target for a possible cancer diagnosis, one of these days. Anyway, one link led to another and I found an instant messaging system, at the National Cancer Institute website. You CAN IM an agent and recieve answer's for your question's concerning locating a center or specialist for your particular problem. These LIVE agents can NOT give medical advice but they can help you locate a source, to obtain help. For me, Im looking for a genetic specialist, who might be able to help me get these tests for my peace of mind, if nothing else. For those interested in Alabama. Here is the contact info for our state.Early detection is the KEY to surviving cancer so do not hesitate to seek help! I will update if and when I can have the testing done.

They are both able to do genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer which includes the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

May be low in calories, even with soy milk and NO WHIP CREAM, still high in carbs!! HIGH IN SUGAR, even the light version! I can tolerate sugar, I will try this, and if I like it, use it only as an occasional treat.

Muscle Milk Protein Bars
May 17, 2007
I will not pay the ridiculous price for these at GNC tho. $2.29 per bar! I have found them for $13.99 for a box of 8 on ebay, but almost $9.00 in shipping and handling so STILL ridiculous. Ive posted the other source at 14.35 per box of 8 bars. I will check into the shipping and handling charges and will keep searching for the best deal. When i find it, I will post it.

Protein Bars
May 16, 2007
I only had 4 small shelfs to choose from ( and that is in both stores) to begin with. I was perturbed to find out this news today. My ISS OH YEAH bars have been replaced by Muscle Milk protein bars in vanilla toffee crunch. SOUNDS decadent enough but I dont care if it tastes like the BEST thing in the world, it's still overpriced at 2.29 a bar! Yep, I did buy one to try, if I like it, I will shop around for it, online, but if I cant find a "wholesale" price for it. I will just keep right on ordering the ISS OH YEAH WAFERS from the vitamin shoppe online. I wish we had a vitamin shoppe here, the closest one to me is 92.6 miles.
Here are the stats on this *new* to me, protein bar:
calories: 290
fat: 10 g
cholesterol: 5mg
sodium: 310mg
potassium: 110mg
carbs: 30
sugar: 14g
protein: 25g
Doesnt even sound healthy to me, but I eat so very little anyway, I need to find something I can tolerate and actually enjoy eating, at least once a day.
I know the sugar content will make alot of folks dump, but I have never dumped, as of yet. I haven't pushed it either to find out if I can but if I eat this and get deathly sick (or so I think, from what Ive read) then I will know not to waste my money on this. I tried the Muscle Milk shakes and can not stand those. Im off to work shortly, so will wait till morning to see what this is all about, if I get sick, Id rather get sick at home.I'll let ya know.
Vanilla Soy Milk

Silk Vanilla Soy Milk
serving size: one cup
total fat 3.5g
cholesterol:0
sodium:95mg
potassium:300mg
total carbs: 10g
sugars:7g
protein: 6g
from the box: "One 8 oz cup serving of vanilla soy milk provides you with 6.25 grams of SOY PROTEIN, vitamins A,B12,D Riboflavin and Folate, Postassium, Iron , Zinc and Selenieum, 230mg of beneficial Omega 3's, 30% reccommended daily calcium,, absolutely delious ( and it is!) smooth and creamy vanilla soy milk. Its free of lactose, dairy, cholesterol, glueten, eggs, casein, peanuts, MSG and worries" LOL. It works for me much better than regular or skim milk, even better to me than carb countdown., One half gallon container will last me for weeks. I bought this one last month, almost empty and the expiration date on it isnt until June 19, 2007 so it will last a long time. Try it!
