Soy protein shake vs Whey for Women

	2006/02/22, 07:24 PM Whey is a better protein source....it's faster digested and more readily absorbed by the body. Whey is the new gold standard(used to be eggs) in protein ....soy is way down the list....

They were handing out samples of "protein pudding" a couple weeks ago, and I mentioned to my lifting partner that it contained soy. The guy is like "Soy is the best protein you can get". I just laughed and walked away. I don't know whether I hope he is pushing his product or whether he actually believes it. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
