In Reply to: Soy protein--EVERYONE READ!!!!!! posted by Unique on February 25, 1997 at 17:35:16:
: Ok, here's the deal. Soy protein will not have as much flavonoids (like genistein) as an
: unprocessed product; however, it still has significant amounts. Also, these flavonoids are
: SLIGHTLY estrogenic. However, the overall effect in low dosages in the body is a significant
: anti-estrogenic effect.
: Believe me on this--a BV of 168 is absolutely ludicrous. The whey industry itself rates whey
: at 94 and realizes that it is not quite as good in terms of BV as egg.
: Found stats today on BCAA and glutamine--Whey has 20.1 grams of BCAAs per 100 grams of protein and
: has 4.9 grams of glutamine. Soy has 18.1 grams of BCAAs per 100 grams of protein and 10.5 grams
: of glutamine. You decide which is better!
: I am really leaning towards mixing these proteins! I don't think you'll be able to
: beat the combination for price, effects, etc. I will use the absolute best soy isolate
: in the industry. It is instantized, bland, comes from the largest soy protein producer in
: the WORLD, and is extracted using a water process instead of chemical!!!
: Keep up the fight

I say go for it but Don't mix the proteins. If you are thinking of adding glutamine, don't because the added glutamine gets used by the small intestine and doesn't really help. I'd dump my whey for this as any AA shortage can be made up with other foods and with the 12-18 eggs a day any shortage will more than be made up for. Anarchy in the USA!
