Whey supplements when combined with strength training may increase protein synthesis slightly, but don't seem to enhance athletic performance (and the book gives a couple of references). Basically the book says if you think you need more whey then once glass of milk provides 1.5grams of whey. Personally I also believe you should never underestimate placebo effect either.....but good energy and protein containing food will support your training. There would also be other studies that show other benefits of whey..Nutrition is still in its relative infancy as there is so much to learn and time is a huge factor in studying long term effects of anythingJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800437606008658030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25493909.post-1178524946592627002011-01-09T10:17:56.361+11:002011-01-09T10:17:56.361+11:00Great post today.

Do you have an opinion on that?Mike Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809565742296882977noreply@blogger.com
