The Worst Protein Powder for the Liver – Dr. Berg

Can you guess what the worst protein powder is?

0:22 The problem with soy protein isolates

In this short video, I'm going to share what the absolute worst protein powder is.

The worst protein powder isn't pea protein or even whey protein. The worst protein powder is soy protein isolate powder.

95% of all soy is GMO. This means it has residue of an herbicide called glyphosate. Soy can raise estrogen levels and decrease testosterone levels. Soy protein isolates can be found in diet shakes, diet bars, vegan meat patties, and even baby formula.

Soy protein isolate can be hard on the liver. It's also not fermented like tofu, tempeh, or miso and is not easily digested.

Thanks for watching! Soy protein isolate powder is the worst protein powder, and you may want to avoid it.

Some 22 year old males currently have the testosterone levels of an 85 year old male. Testosterone levels have steadily been dropping 1% annually, that's the real threat to mankind nobody's addressing.

When I first became vegetarian, I ate all the manufactured vegetable burgers and such thinking it was healthy, and after 5 years of eating that way, came down with constant horrible stomach pains that no doctor could diagnose. I even had an exploratory surgery which turned up no explanation. I gave up all the artifical vegetarian foods and try to eat organic whole foods only and no more stomach problems. I don't have a perfect diet by any means but I am done with that processed "food" because I'm sure that was what made me so sick. Thank you for pointing out this soy isolate as something to avoid and thank for all invaluable information on every video

[larryjones]

you can get liver symptoms after only one meal of soy isolete? the same day?
sounds pretty farfetched...

[calitvmedia]

I see why all these ppl hate him, because he saves lives without charging to give you the info the way the world should be

[rjmurphy]

Thanks for all the videos and explaining difficult things with ease....You have that 1950s tv dad swag...just makes you wana sit and listen..thanks

[sidm]

We all learn a lot from you, you present it simpler and to the point! Thx.

[maybee...]

Thank you Dr. Berg for bringing to our attention what causes pain in the area of our liver.
Too many fake things that are in our foods are causing damage to our bodies and are often passed off as healthy.

I love these short video series.
Thank you

I'm an intuitive eater, I focus on how my body feels after consuming something. I don't feel any negative effects from taking optimum nutrition whey protein. If I could, I would just get all my protein from whole foods, but I have protein powder on the side for convenience.

My physician told me over 15 years ago to stay away from soy. She gave me some literature as well. I'm so happy she vared about her patients enough.

[tiffanyvalencia]

YES! Even when my grandma was going through mastectomy 25 years ago she warned me to avoid any soy-based products except fermented, and told us to check ingredients as most packaged items contain it, and to avoid eating out
...she was right! I didn't think at the time to ask for her source, but it could've been Dr. McDougall. I recently watched his similar video "the dangers of soy products"...a great compliment to Dr. Berg's.

[mistrock]

Dr. Berg, could you do a video on which protein powders are safe?? For those of us who regularly work out, we sometimes need a protein shake on the go.

I had my pancreas and thyroid swallen. I thought “why” ...I’m not in stress, never had health issues like that. Stopped using soy chocolate-protein for a week/as I loved it every day as dessert, , and it stopped. I love sweet, so I started eating it again. Guess what, , , all neck swallen again. Stopped using it for good now

[loveistheanswer]

Can't say thank you enough, Dr. Berg. You are a gem of a man.

I discovered Dr Berg 10 weeks ago ...I'd been suffering for years with fatigue, inflammation, endometriosis then the perimenopause and more recently hyperthyroidism...since following his advice - I've stopped sugar and constant carb eating ...I now feel so much better and have managed to loose 1 and half stone....I have more energy and my hot flashes have pretty much vanished. I'm still working on inflammation but my hyperthyroidism is almost gone ...I couldn't be happier !

Any Doctor who takes the time to study the heavily technical verbage of the scientific papers involved from sources like National Library of Health, i.e. glyphosate and soy. . .deserves to be listened to.

[bklyn]

This is unfounded i've looked this up and could not find evidence backing this take up

The right side pain thing I also get from gluten. Even my blood tests on my liver came back screwed up, and I'm 26 years old :-o Quit the gluten, the pain went away!
I stay away from soy at all costs cause I have an autoimmune disease and it can cause flare ups really bad that last for weeks.

Thank you Dr. Berg for clearly conveying this message, it needs to get out there! :-D You've gotten a new camera guy now? Or maybe he's learned some new filming techniques? ^^ Videos are getting better.
Hope all is well for you Dr. Berg you deserve the best, God bless.
