Unsweetened soy protein powders There's another product I'm talking about called the Unsweetened Simply Natural Spirutein protein powders. You may be familiar with the Spirutein protein powders, because they're quite visible on the shelves of practically every health food store. These powders are made primarily from soy protein and fructose, which is why I'm not excited about the product line in general, as I don't recommend protein powders made with fructose. However, they now have a line that is unsweetened.

The world of protein powders is vast and confusing, with a bewildering array of protein powder products that mostly cater to bodybuilders. Many protein powders contain chemical sweeteners such as aspartame or sucralose, so this is the first ingredient to watch out for when purchasing protein. Personally, I recommend two types of protein powder: soy protein and rice protein. Look for protein powder products that are unsweetened (or sweetened only with stevia), and absolutely avoid protein powders made with artificial sweeteners. The next best sweetener ingredient, in my opinion, is fructose.

These powders are made primarily from soy protein and fructose, which is why I'm not excited about the product line in general, as I don't recommend protein powders made with fructose. However, they now have a line that is unsweetened. They call it the Simply Natural line of Spirutein protein powders, and these are fantastic. The flavors are wonderful, the lineup offers a considerable variety of flavors, and of course there's a little bit of spirulina in these products as well, but not that much, by the way.

Mullin recommends beginning such an elimination diet by consuming only hypoallergenic protein powders such as whey protein or rice protein—which will give you all of the essential nutrients—for a period of three days and then slowly adding in limited foods such as rice, chicken, turkey, and vegetables (see below) for a period of up to eight weeks. Patients keep a journal and take note of any type of reaction (bloating, abdominal discomfort, rashes, headaches, and any worsening of their autoimmune-disease symptoms).

Food supplements of enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants, and complete amino acid protein powders are concentrated working elements of food. They are building blocks of life. Don't be overwhelmed by the sight of several bottles or canisters of these supplements on your counter, or feel uncomfortable about taking 10, 20, or more, digestive enzyme capsules at a time, on an empty stomach. In very serious cases, when time is short, your body needs its workers back, NOW. It may need them by the 100s for a period of time. Remember that this is your food, only in concentrated form.

It was amazing how many new supplements had been introduced—stevia, pyruvate, NADH, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), silica, chi-tosan, androstenedione, shark liver oil, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, ultimate protein powders, stinging nettles, DHA (not DHEA, but docosahexaenoic acid), and others. Outlandish claims were made about a few of these supplements by some of their promoters. What were these claims based on? Nothing convincing. Sometimes a simple laboratory study done in an obscure part of the world on a small group of mice.

Look for protein powder products that are unsweetened (or sweetened only with stevia), and absolutely avoid protein powders made with artificial sweeteners. The next best sweetener ingredient, in my opinion, is fructose. Although fructose is a refined carbohydrate, but it has a much lower glycemic index than refined sugar, and it closely resembles the sugars found in fruits. I used to be a big fan of whey protein, but after learning more about cows' milk (from which whey protein is derived), I made the switch to vegetable proteins.

There are also fermented soy protein powders now available at health food stores. Sprouted soy is also easier to digest and assimilate, and therefore a better choice as well. Tofu, which is known to block mineral absorption, is best eaten warm with a little fish or other animal protein to offset this effect and increase digestibility. Unfermented soy products, which is what people are primarily eating in this country, are highly allergenic and not recommended at all.

The flavors are wonderful, the lineup offers a considerable variety of flavors, and of course there's a little bit of spirulina in these products as well, but not that much, by the way. I think that if any product had much spirulina in it, it would be green, but these Spirutein powders aren't green, indicating that there's really not much spirulina in them. If you want spirulina, go to any health food store and buy some spirulina powder or capsules.

Ruth Shamai of Ruth's Hemp Foods unveils latest lineup of nutritious, hemp-based foods Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Last year you saw my hemp protein powders: 100% Hemp, Hemp Sprouted Flax and Maca. But we wanted people to be able to travel with them conveniently, and also offer a trial size so people didn't have to make a big investment. So, we brought out the single-serve boxes. Now they can get a smaller box for travel, office, et cetera. Mike: That's very handy because your canister is fairly large for putting in suitcases. Shamai: It is. It's 18 ounces, so this is very convenient this way. We also brought the Soft Hemp out here. Soft Hemp is our certified organic shelled hemp seed.

Soy (page 587) Genistein is an isoflavone found in soybeans and many soy foods, such as tofu, soy milk, and some soy protein powders. Except for soy sauce and soy protein concentrates processed with alcohol, most soy-based foods contain significant amounts of isoflavones, such as genistein. Genistein inhibits growth of prostate cancer cells, helps kill these cells,30 and has other known anticancer actions, according to test tube research findings.

Then you can make protein powders from them by removing the oil and milling the rest into something like a flour, then sifting it to remove more of the carbs so that you're left with a higher protein fraction. I make all of those products and I make them certified-organic. In addition to that, I incorporate hemp seeds into more commonly used foods, like energy bars and salad dressings. I used to make tortilla chips. Mike: Oh, really? Shamai: Yes, and I think I might start to make tortilla chips again due to popular demand.

In any case, the Unsweetened Simply Natural Spirutein protein powders are definitely on my recommended list. If you're vegan or just can't stand the thought of swallowing raw eggs, go with macadamia nut oil instead of raw eggs. Speaking of spirulina, there have been some questions recently about whether it's okay to eat spirulina in huge doses, given how much vitamin A is in the product. People say gee, if you have too much of vitamin A won't you compromise your health in some way? Isn't that dangerous to be eating too much of vitamin A? There is such a thing as vitamin A toxicity.

Is it advisable to take protein powders or amino acid supplements, especially for someone who does vigorous exercise or plays sport? • Should one take protein supplements to build muscle? • Some protein is considered high quality, some low quality; what does this mean? • Where do vegetarians get protein? • Can vegetarian children grow properly without animal protein? Fundamental to many of these common questions and concerns is the belief that meat is protein and protein is meat. This belief comes from the fact that the "soul" of animal-based foods is protein.

Soy Tofu, tempeh, miso, and some protein powders in health food stores, are derived from soybeans. In 1995, an analysis of many trials proved that soy reduces both total and LDL cholesterol.63 Since then, other double-blind and other controlled trials have confirmed these findings.64,65,66,67 Trials showing statistically significant reductions in cholesterol have generally used more than 30 grams per day of soy protein. However, if soy replaces animal protein in the diet, as little as 20 grams per day has been shown to significantly reduce both total and LDL cholesterol.

Many commercial supplements are lifeless and overwhelm and confuse the body with too many concentrated synthetic elements (petrochemical vitamin pills, non-soluble mineral tablets, heavy colloidal mineral tinctures, animal protein powders, etc.). I only consume the highest-quality, naturally-derived supplements. I particularly enjoy MSM powder, Beauty Enzymes, Blue Mangosteen Antioxidants, angstrom minerals, fully mineralized sea or rock salts and others.

Soy foods, such as tofu, soy milk, roasted soy beans, and soy protein powders, may be beneficial in preventing osteoporosis. Isoflavones from soy have protected against bone loss in animal studies.34 In a double-blind trial, postmenopausal women who supplemented with 40 grams of soy protein powder (containing 90 mg of isoflavones) per day were protected against bone mineral loss in the spine, although lower amounts were not protective.

Smoothies are so rich and creamy (a half to one banana helps with this quality) that you can hide ingredients such as ground flaxseed, wheat germ, flaxseed oil, and protein powders without changing the flavor too much. On top of that you can add nutrients such as probiotics (healthy bacteria such as acidophilus), algae, vitamin C, and many other supplements. This is a great benefit to those on the run and for those who have a hard time swallowing supplements. Drink your smoothies as soon as possible after making them so the ingredients are fresh and have not oxidized.

We suggest adding some algae and protein powders during this time for more energy and strength. Menopause During the menopause transition, there are many shifts and changes, problems with moods and sleep, and variations in body temperatures. With all of these changes going on, a detoxification program can be quite helpful as long as the woman is not weak and depleted. Doing a week or two of one of the programs in this book may help improve energy, moods, sleep, and make the menopause transition easier.
