anyone here made alot of research about whey protein

some people say its not good and might increase the risk of developing cancer


without protein shakes i eat around 100g of protein a day

What do current reputable studies say about total protein intake in a day, with regards to muscle maintenance and muscle growth?

I would guess needs are closer to 0.75g per lb of bodyweight for a bulk. But I don't know.

Whey is a diary byproduct of making cheese


Its not gonna give u cancer lol


Just look at hnf's biggest and strongest lifter,


Oh nvm he got cancer

havent you heard? protein gives you cancer

you've done better

Animal-based protein has been linked to cancer. The worst offender is reportedly casein. I avoid casein but I still take whey isolates. The thing about cancer: literally everything you ingest outside of vegetables and water (assuming they aren't polluted) causes cancer, either directly (like smoking cigarettes) or indirectly (like simple CHO), although 'indirect' and 'direct' are relative to the number of physiological mechanisms involved. So ... here's the thing. If you want to eat clean and still eat animal based foods:

- don't eat it cooked above 350 F, ideally even above 325
- avoid charring it at all costs
- don't eat the fat
- avoid eating overly processed protein

But before you freak out, at least if you avoid casein, if you lift and generally eat clean and live clean and still take whey isolates, your chances of getting cancer are already reduced compared to that of the average person who isn't taking a protein supplement. (i.e., think of the other crap you could be doing/eating)

you realize everything animal related is linked to cancer though right? lol

i went with a organic based protein costs a bit more but will try it out
https://www.amazon.com/Orgain-Organic-Protein-Powder-Chocolate/dp/B00J074W94?th=1


its cheap in the us 22$ for 2 pounds reasonable but in canada it costs around 70$ with shipping


gona give it a go only using this pre workout so i dont need alot i eat enough protein post workout


with pre workout shake i eat around 150-175g of protein a day


24g comes from eggs 16g coms from my cereal around 50-80 comes from chicken or salmon rest is either yogourt babybel tuna hummus


they say 1g of protein per lean body mass i weight 250 at the moment 6 foot 1 i'm on diet and ever since i added weights to my program i'm not losing as much bodyweight but i am dam sure gaining muscles

goal is to reach around 205-215 pounds by september

when was animal based protein linked to cancer? thats quite a claim to make without any evidence

I haven't heard about protein powders being a risk factor. If animal based protein simply means from meat then that would be true. Off the top of my head red meat and high fat dairy products increase risk for prostate cancer and red processed meat increases risk for colon cancer.
