By: Greg Ciola 'The most popular proteins on the market today are derived from milk and soybeans. A little investigative research into milk production and soy protein derivatives will make anyone who is health conscious stop and ask some serious questions concerning their use. From milk we get whey protein and various forms of casein. From soybeans we get soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate. These particular proteins are found in thousands of consumable items through the mass retail market and health food industry. Check out the labels of the largest branded products and you’ll likely come across either some form of milk protein or soy protein on the label.
It isn’t hard to make a case about why hemp blows these protein sources away. Look at what has happened to dairy production throughout this country. Many cows are fed a diet of grains, which in a majority of cases have been genetically engineered grains. Cows weren’t designed to eat grains in compact feed lots. The best source of food for cows is grass and they were designed to graze in wide open fields for this grass. It’s a proven fact that grain-fed cows aren’t as healthy as grass-fed cows. They become sick much easier and don’t produce as a high quality milk.
Many cows are also injected with Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone known as rBST (recombinant bovine somatotropin) or rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone). Estimates are that 30-40% of America’s dairy cows receive this genetically engineered injection. While Monsanto tries to state that this hormone doesn’t affect the milk, why are so many kids reaching puberty at a much younger age? Most of them have been raised on a diet of dairy or soy or a combination of the two.
Did you know that the largest percentage of antibiotic drugs manufactured by pharmaceutical companies go to treat farm animals? Whether its cows, chickens, sheep or pigs; antibiotics are given to farm animals quite frequently. The health condition of these animals is horrendous in many cases. All of these drugs have a negative effect on their overall health and the products they produce. I heard the statement years ago and it makes a lot of sense: “Sick animals make sick people.”
Then there’s pasteurization process. When milk is pasteurized it kills off the beneficial bacteria and enzymes present in raw milk. Pasteurization takes milk and changes it into something unnatural. After pasteurization the milk is processed further by putting it through an extraction process to obtain various proteins. Then it is spray dried into a powder. This is where whey and casein come from and this is what is used in so many protein powders, diet products and nutritional bars so popular today. That’s not the way God designed our bodies to get protein. They also weren’t designed to process massive quantities of this protein like so many bodybuilders, athletes, and dieters feel they need to maintain or grow muscle or burn body fat. Too much protein in the body can cause mineral depletion and acidity. The battle for health is over pH. You want to stay on the alkaline side.
The argument against soy is just as convincing. Approximately 90% of the soy products on the market today have come from genetically engineered soybeans. Monsanto has the soybean business locked up. Even if the soybeans weren’t genetically engineered, the main problem with soy is that the body cannot break it down effectively unless the beans are fermented first. The fermentation process releases the enzymes so your body can utilize the nutrients. Soy should not be eaten unless it is 100% organic and in a fermented form. There are all sorts of health problems associated with soy that raise serious health alarms.
Soy protein isolate and concentrate are a highly processed version of soybeans that aren’t natural. In an interview I conducted several years ago with Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of the book “Soy – The Dark Side Of America’s Favorite Health Food”, she stated the following:
“These products can only be made in chemical factories, not kitchens. There’s nothing natural about them. The complicated, high tech procedures leave many toxic and carcinogenic residues such as lysinoalanines and nitrosamines. Vitamin, mineral and protein quality are all sacrificed. Soy protein isolates may even increase the requirements for vitamins E, K, D and B12. Animal studies show that phosphorous is poorly utilized and that deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, copper, iron and especially zinc are common. SPI is also more deficient in the sulfur-containing amino acids than other soy protein products and this dramatically affects skin and hair health. Soy protein also causes a major problem with excessive female hormones.”
Then there’s the whole “soy is good for you” health claim that has infected the nutritional supplement industry with lies. In that same interview with Dr. Daniel she commented on this aspect:
“As for scientists who are not being funded by the soy industry, they have reported adverse effects from soy foods for many years. We have thousands of epidemiological, laboratory and clinical studies showing adverse effects. Leading scientists from the FDA’s own Laboratory of Toxicological Research spoke out strongly against the heart disease and soy protein health claim approved by the FDA in 1999. The British Committee on Toxicity has expressed serious reservations about health claims made for the plant estrogens in soy protein. The British Dietetic Association has strongly warned parents and pediatricians of the dangers of soy formula. So have many other independent organizations, scientists and other researchers.”
When taking these things into consideration, it’s not difficult to see why hemp seed protein is a far superior source of protein. Hemp protein is a source of easily digestible, mineral rich, gluten free protein. It is minimally processed and provides users a wide range of health benefits. Hemp’s overall protein content is 34.6% which is very close to soy. Hemp is a healthy alternative for people who have allergies or are sensitive to dairy, nut, grain and soy-based beverages.
Hemp protein is abundant in Omega 3, 6 & 9 oils. Hemp protein can supply any diet with a vegetarian source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll and a complete, balanced gluten-free source of essential amino acids. An important aspect of hemp protein is that it is a quality source of the amino acids arginine and histidine, and the sulphur-containing amino acids methionine and cystein, both of which are needed in the production of vital enzymes in the body.

The nutritional information booklet published by Manitoba Harvest, one of the world’s leading hemp food suppliers has some excellent information on hemp protein.'
“Hemp protein also contains relatively high levels of the branch-chain amino acids that are crucial in the repair and growth of lean body mass, making a hemp protein shake after a workout a worthwhile investment. Almost two-thirds of hemp protein is made up of edestin, a globulin protein found only in hemp seeds. This makes hemp the superior source for this protein in the plant kingdom. Edestin is a type of plant protein that is similar to protein found in the human body, and thus is perfectly suited to aid in meeting the body’s cellular needs such as DNA repair. Since much of hemp’s protein resembles that found in human blood, hemp protein is very easily digested and assimilated. In addition, one-third of hemp’s protein is albumin, another high quality globulin protein found in egg whites.”
