: In my quest to understand more about proteins and which are best, I came across some interesting
: info. Most of you probably haven't heard of it, but the newest and best way to measure the
: quality of a protein is the PDCAAS--Protein Digestability Corrected Amino Acid Scale. Whey is
: the best protein right? Not necessarily! Most of us have heard that a whey ISOLATE is best
: and yes it is a very good protein but what I found out today is that a soy isolate is just as
: good or even better. On the PDCAAS soy scores a 1 which is the highest rating. Furthermore,
: I inquired about the fact that whey has a great deal of BCAAs and glutamine. Guess what?
: soy has higher amounts of both of these. Scammed again! An instantized soy isolate that
: dissolves instantly and is very bland goes for about a fourth of what a whey isolate goes for.
: The WPC that most of you are using is considered a highly INFERIOR protein source. In fact, now
: that I know this I am not going to offer a WPC! Soy IMPROVES kidney function unlike any other
: protein, it raises HDL (good) and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol. It is anti-carcinogenic, etc, etc.
: I believe as time goes on you will start to hear more and more about soy protein. I need some
: feedback. I think the best way to go is mix 50/50 an instantized whey ISOLATE and an intantized
: soy isolate. Whey has a few benefits that soy doesn't offer and this you get the best of both
: worlds and at a price that can't be beat. This combo would probably sell for about $5.00 per pound.
: I know that what I'm saying here goes against everything that you've been told but believe me here--
: I've done my research. If the above mixture is not suitable with everyone then I could offer a
: whey protein isolate AND a soy isolate and you can choose. However, just carrying the mixture
: is easier for me and better for you. Think about it and let me know.
: Keep up the fight

I'd like to know the sources of your information. I've heard that soy growers have put more $$$ into "fixed result tests" than Bill Phillips. What are your sources? w8lifter, could you tell us about your sources, too? Animal, what happened to "Anarchy in the USA?" ANARCHY!!
