Whey protein information

[mwm5]

"Whey Powder
Whey is the by-product in the manufacturing of cheese and casein. Disposing of this whey has long been a problem. For environmental reasons it cannot be discharged into lakes and rivers; for economical reasons it is not desirable to simply dump it to waste treatment facilities. Converting whey into powder has led to a number products that it can be incorporated into. It is most desirable, if and where possible, to use it for human food, as it contains a small but valuable protein component. It is also feasible to use it as animal feed. Between the pet food industry and animal feed mixers, hundred's of millions of pounds are sold every year. The feed industry may be the largest consumer of dried whey and whey products. "

I read once that all whey protein comes out of one of a hand full (4 at the time I read the article) of plants that process dairy foodstuffs.

If that's a fact it doesn't really make sense to buy a brand. That's why I buy mine 25lbs at a time from All The Whey | Whey Protein Supplements for Bodybuilding and Health
