Recently read some interesting nutrition comments on another site that discussed, in part, digestion of protein & incomplete or isolated proteins.
Can someone with th required knowledge separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were, in the following comments? What's true & what's not?
Quote:
If you separate the white and yolk of the egg, you get an isolated protein. Any time you separate protein from fat you are left with an incomplete food. The manufacturers of protein powders tell you to mix them with juice or water. Well, let me tell you, folks; you cannot digest protein without fat. When you swallow an egg white, it goes into your stomach and your stomach says, Hey, where is the fat? The white, which is protein, has no vehicle for conversion, so it is converted to sugar.
The same thing happens when you use protein powder. They say to mix with juice or water because they are made of ionized whey protein, which is the skim of cottage cheese. It is not biologically superior to eggs, liver and milk. These powders make you feel good because they are carbohydrated sugar. Sure you are going to put on weight, but it is not going to be muscle weight.
You cannot digest protein without fat, and it must be digested to be converted to amino acids. Once it is digested it goes through the liver and is converted to amino acids. If it is not digested the liver cant do its job.
