Whey protein is a nutritionally complete protein. It contains bioactive ingredients, like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, that help support the immune system. Athletes prefer whey protein to soy protein due to its rich abundance of branched chain amino acids and its quick absorption rate. These are important to help repair and rebuild muscles after a workout or competitive event. Whey protein has a fresh, neutral taste compared and will not change the taste of foods you add it to.

Soy protein provides a healthy way to get non-animal protein into your diet. It is great tasting, natural and can have a wide range of healthy effects on the body.

Yes, we recommend high protein bars that have a ratio of at least 30% protein to 40% carbohydrates. Check the labels of your favorite protein bars. When you are on the go, you can also snack on high protein foods like cottage cheese, nuts and lean meats. Absolutely not. The Insulite System is a natural, science-based approach to weight loss. We believe that stimulants and fat blockers can be harmful when taken on a daily basis.

The foods that contain the highest amounts of protein are meat and dairy products. One ounce of meat contains 7 grams of protein and 1 cup of milk or yogurt contains 8 grams of protein. Other foods like peanut butter, soymilk, tofu and beans also contain about 7 grams of protein per serving. Vegetables have about 2 grams of protein per serving.

Litehouse products above 10 ppm in sulfites are: Raspberry Vinaigrette, Huckleberry Vinaigrette and Cranberry Vinaigrette. This comes from high use of red wine vinegar. All other Litehouse products are free of sulfites (a finished goods level below 10 ppm), which are used in many products to reduce discoloration and inhibit growth of microorganisms. The FDA estimates one out of a hundred people is sulfite-sensitive, and five percent of those also suffer from asthma.

Yes, like most major chocolate makers, we use a dash of leicithin in our recipes because it serves as a binding agent, promoting a great texture and good blend of the ingredients. No animal fats are used in our chocolate, but they do contain diary products such as milk, butter and cream.

The FDA stated that 25 grams of soy protein daily, coupled with a low fat diet could reduce the risk of coronary artery disease and therefore the risk of a heart attack.

Calories do count and you want to make sure that you are getting the most benefit from the calories you consume. Compared to other proteins, on a gram-to-gram basis whey protein isolate delivers more essential amino acids to the body but without the fat or cholesterol.

Actually, the soybean is the only plant protein that is considered equivalent to animal protein. That’s because soyfoods contain all nine essential amino acids needed to make a protein in the body. Protein quality is also evaluated by the USDA using a score called the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score (PDCAAS), which can help us to know how well a protein is broken down and used in the body. Soy protein scores the same as animal protein, with a PDCAAS of 1.0.

Soy protein comes from soybeans, which is a legume-a source of carbohydrate. There are several problems with soy protein. The protein from soy is not complete -it is missing one of the essential amino acids, called methionine. Most soy protein powders are fortified with this amino acid, making it complete. However it is important to know that most soy protein products are processed using hexane and other toxic chemicals, which are not safe for the body.

There is some evidence that sugar intake exacerbates food allergies.

In recent years, ISP (isolated soy protein,a supplement) has been added to a number of food products to increase the % of protein per serving.

The US Food and Drug Administration thinks you should. They currently allow soy products to make the following claim: grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." Unfortunately, what the Food and Drug Administration doesn't know, or knows and doesn't tell you because of really rich and powerful soy conglomerates, is that soy is probably very bad stuff, when consumed in amounts as large as 25 grams per day.
