Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Duncan CrowWholistic ConsultantCold-Processed Whey Powder Produces GlutathioneRead the glutathione referencesUndenatured Whey Reduces Pathogen AdhesionGustavo Bounous discovered early in his groundbreaking research that regular uncooked whey produces glutathione, your body's most powerful healing agent. In animal studies, undenatured whey protein concentrate consistently raised glutathione levels beyond those of any other protein studied, including soy (Bounous G. and Gold P., Clin. Invest. Med. 1991). Glutathione is an essential water-soluble antioxidant that protects cells and neutralizes free radicals and toxins such as peroxides, heavy metals, carcinogens, and many others. Glutathione is part of the cellular energy cycle; when levels are low you get reduced ATP production, cell wasting and cell death. Glutathione is so necessary to a healthy immune system that it appears immunity itself can be modulated by glutathione levels (Rosanne K., Fidelus and Min Fu Tsan. Cellular Immunology, 1986). Health-conscious individuals around the world use cold-processed whey protein as a daily part of an anti-aging or health program to maintain glutathione levels and body mass index. Just 25-30 grams of udenatured whey isolate or 35-40 grams of concentrate is an adequate dose to produce glutathione, with the dose doubling or tripling for body building and in illness. Undenatured whey produces an alkalizing rather than an acidifying effect that is attributed to most proteins; it also requires the least digestion of any protein, which makes it an excellent protein choice for those whose digestion is impaired, and for the very young, especially formula-fed babies. The following low sugar cold-processed wheys were selected to be diabetic- and candida-safe. The True Whey is an undenatured whey protein "concentrate" derived using a unique and proprietary process that preserves the nutrients of the whey, but with no sweetener or preservatives, no hormones, no pesticides, chemical and NO GMO's. Jarrow Whey has an excellent profile with much more glutathione precursors than most concentrates; it even compares favourably to many isolates and it is much cheaper. For those looking for an unadulterated whey protein isolate, the Now Foods isolate will be hard to beat! Voted 2005 Whole Foods Magazine “Best Sports Supplement”. MRM Metabolic Whey™ is a very good price for an undenatured whey isolate-concentrate blend.

When glutathione, your body's most powerful healing agent is low, you get sick, even if you have plenty of the other antioxidants. Disease, degeneration, and infection are all stimulated when glutathione is low; high glutathione is associated with wellness. It even regenerates other antioxidants so they can be used more than once in the body. Cold-processed whey may be the missing ingredient in your program. This is of particular importance for people with inflammation for example in Crohn's disease, (CD) or ulcerative colitis, (UC) or any variant of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); candida; arthritis or any other itis, which means inflammation. In fact glutathione may be completely depleted at the injured site. See some of the diseases that are linked to low glutathione in these prewritten queries: glutathione references on PubMed. The approach is both well-backed by science and well-proven in practice. If your glutathione levels are low, ANY other therapy will probably fail; it is that fundamental. Comparing glutathione-producing undenatured wheysTo know what you're getting you have to compare the actual components of the protein. Some wheys list the protein fractions as a percentage of total protein, while others list their protein fractions in mg from a 25-g scoop, 30-g or 36 gram scoop etc. if they list them at all. Different extraction and pasteurization techniques yield varying protein fractions and varying degrees of breakage (denaturing) of the delicate peptides. The cysteine reading on a whey label can be misleading because denaturing may have been broken up the bonded cysteine, leaving the free form amino acid, which is ineffective. Free cysteine is also toxic (Meister, 1984; Baruchel et at., 1996) and is poorly absorbed and transported; N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), an amine protected pharmaceutical version of cysteine, is rapidly hydrolyzed in the body to cysteine and it has a very short half-life. You can determine how much bonded cysteine is in undenatured whey by working it out from its components. There are 17 cystine residues and six Glu-Cys dipeptides (Eigel et al, 1984) per 66,000 MW molecule of serum albumin; 17 cystine residues and four Glu-Cys dipeptides per 77,000 MW molecule (Goodman and Schanbacher, 1991) occur in Lactoferrin; four cystine residues per 14,000 MW molecule (Eigel et al, 1984) occur in Alpha-Lactalbumin. Beta-lactoglobulin contains two cystine residues per 18,400 MW molecule (Eigel et al, 1984), and IgG1, the predominant immunoglobulin in cows milk serum, only four disulfide bridges (cysteine) per 166,000MW molecule (Baruchel et al, 1996). Each cystine residue is TWO cysteines in bonded, bioavailable form. If you don't want to or can't work it out you have to have a bit of good faith in the manufacturer or good faith in the label when you don't know who the manufacturer is. I choose both, but prefer the manufacturer that touts their low temperature extraction process in general and careful preservation of glutathione-producing peptides in particular.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 If you are sensitive to milk but nobody has to save your life if you encounter some, that is NOT an allergy but a sensitivity. This is an important distinction to make because undenatured whey can have the problematic ingredients removed, and of those, Immunocal for example is listed in the PDR as " well tolerated by severely milk-sensitive individuals " . Those with a bona-fide anaphylactic allergic response as opposed to a gut disturbance can use the drug n-acetylcysteine 500 mg every four hours to increase glutathione, or 2500 mg cystine daily; oral glutathione itself doesn't work. Take also 200-600 mcg selenium daily. Whey is preferred because it contains a suite of amino acids and certain fats and sugar components that have a direct beneficial effect on bowel ecology and also the integrity of the intestinal lining.
