Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases

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. whey protein tastes delicious, but it can also be difficult to digest and can exhibit many of the same problems caused by milk and dairy products (constipation, sinus congestion, autoimmune disorders, etc.). In my personal experience, however, I didn't have major negative side effects from whey protein. I just chose to move away from whey because of its dairy origin.

In addition to being a superb source of high-quality, absorbable protein, hydrolyzed whey protein is a natural ACE inhibitor. ACE inhibitors, short for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, help reduce blood pressure by interfering with an enzyme that causes muscles surrounding the arteries to constrict, thus raising blood pressure. "Hydrolyzed whey protein lowers blood pressure," says Houston. The Supporting Cast Though CoQIO, whey protein, and the DASH diet form the core of a natural cure for high blood pressure, they're far from the only elements of a hypertension reduction program.

Only approximately 2% of the people who have dairy allergies are allergic to whey protein. Whey protein powder can be easily added to a smoothie. What to do: Mix one scoop of protein powder (typically 20 g of protein) with 8 ounces of water, milk or juice and ice in a blender. Add frozen blueberries or other fruit, if desired. If you are allergic to whey protein, consider soy powder—the protein in soy powder is more easily utilized than that in other soy foods. Soy powder can also be used in smoothies.
As an alternative to meat, consider using whey protein powder—an excellent source of protein derived from milk. Look for cold filtered and ion exchanged on the label, which indicates that the processing has removed lactose (milk sugar) and casein (a highly allergenic protein found in milk). This process breaks down the whey, making it more absorbable. Next Nutrition as well as Jarrow each make excellent whey products. Only approximately 2% of the people who have dairy allergies are allergic to whey protein. Whey protein powder can be easily added to a smoothie.

In both studies, participants who consumed whey protein said they experienced a greater sense of satisfaction and fullness than subjects who ate casein, another type of dairy protein. The investigators concluded that whey protein appears to be a valuable supplement for people who need to lose weight. In yet another experimental study, a test group fed whey protein experienced increased insulin sensitivity and a 40-percent reduction in plasma insulin concentration when compared with beef-fed rats. Both of these findings are associated with improved blood glucose levels and reduced fat storage.
Two university-based studies found that whey protein has a beneficial influence on cholecystokinin. In both studies, participants who consumed whey protein said they experienced a greater sense of satisfaction and fullness than subjects who ate casein, another type of dairy protein. The investigators concluded that whey protein appears to be a valuable supplement for people who need to lose weight.

Jay Robb is best known for whey protein and egg white protein, both of which come in an assortment of flavors such as strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. These protein products have a solid reputation in the industry of being among the highest quality protein products available in the marketplace. Jay's whey protein, for example, comes from cows not treated with rBGH (synthetic hormones), and I learned from talking to Jay this morning that he's working hard on introducing organic protein products in both categories (organic whey and organic egg protein).

Hydrolyzed whey protein lowers blood pressure," says Houston. The Supporting Cast Though CoQIO, whey protein, and the DASH diet form the core of a natural cure for high blood pressure, they're far from the only elements of a hypertension reduction program. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium (and a reduced amount of sodium) work in concert to optimize blood pressure. Interestingly, much research has shown that the overwhelming majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium (see Desert Island Cures, page 303).

We recommend a quality, low temperature-processed whey protein isolate that retains all the key functional biological proteins of whey, including immune-boosting lactoferrin (a protein found in milk that acts as an antioxidant and fights inflammation). Dosing is usually 20 to 40 g of whey protein isolate daily, with greater amounts suggested if you are under physical stress (e.g., intense physical exercise), have a serious medical illness or infection, or if your body weight exceeds 200 pounds.

If your body responds to the whey found in most bars and shake mixes, opt for products that contain whey protein isolate. Choose whey protein products with less than 0.1 grams of lactose per tablespoon of powder. You may need to contact the manufacturer to find out more information on that, or speak with your health food store's representative, who can point you in the right direction. During your active detox (while you are taking the herbal cleansing supplements), you will also take a fiber supplement at bedtime.

The Organic Food Bar packs a nutritional punch in portable form

Brown rice protein doesn't have the stagnating negative effects of whey protein, because whey protein is a dairy product. Brown rice protein also doesn't have the controversy currently surrounding soy protein, even though I personally think soy protein is an outstanding protein source, and I eat it every single day. For people who want to stay away from soy protein because of some things they're reading in the press, rice protein is a highly recommended source. Note that with the addition of the rice protein, you're now covering three macronutrient groups in this food bar.

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).

Why body odor reveals your true health habits: Here's how to reduce odor and enhance health

I've even found that whey protein, including the clean, organic whey proteins, still result in "dirty" metabolic processes that produce odor. Brown rice protein, however, is clean. (I recommend the Nutribiotic brand.) Other strategies for cleaning out your system including buying a Vitamix and blending up a fresh raw foods shake each morning. Be sure to use greens such as celery and cucumber, along with various fruits or superfood powders. And above all, if you want to eliminate body odor for life, avoid cheese, milk and dairy products. They make you smell like "milk and butter.

Be sure to check out his delicious egg protein and whey protein products, too: They're simply the best protein products available in the industry today. The 48-page Fruit Flush Diet is available as a downloadable e-book for $5 at the Jay Robb website: http://www.jayrobb.com/cat_fruitFlushDietEbook.asp Final note: Do yourself a favor and flush with certified organic fruit. I know it's more expensive than conventional fruit, but if you're trying to get the chemicals OUT of your body during the flush, it makes no sense to put more chemicals IN your body by eating pesticides.

So what we have here is a baker's dozen of wonderfully healthy foods that range all over the map, from traditional fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi, to the mineral-rich seaweeds, to juices made from green grasses, to completely modern inventions like whey protein powder and brewer's yeast. And though this category includes a few foods not found in our Paleolithic diets (our hunter-gatherer ancestors, for example, never came across dark chocolate bars in the wild), a list of the world's healthiest foods would not be complete without any one of them.

Mix sugar-free, all-natural peanut butter with whey protein powder and roll in cocoa powder. • Combine whey protein powder with sour cream and Splenda— kneading this mixture renders a pretty interesting taffy. You must eat it within a couple of days, but it is great. And here's one of my favorite ideas courtesy of the diet website 3fatchicks.com: "muffins" made with eggs and your choice of sausage, hamburger, shredded zucchini, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, cheeses, etc. Just pour the mixture into muffin tins, bake, and freeze for easy breakfasts on the go!
