How bad are protein shakes and the sweeteners in it?

[Deusmaximus]

I drink 2 shakes a day. I use the whey isolate from myprotein. It tastes so good, but still has no sugar in it. So i asked myself if the chemical ingredients could be bad for health?

Whey protein is not good for aging, has too much methionine. Ideally you want keep total methionine intake < 1.7g. Opt for pea protein instead, 6 times less methionine.

Better to get protein from whole foods, ideally 40g per meal, 3 times a day, if your focus is anti-aging.

You diet seemw pretty shitty if you actually need two shakes a day. What are your macros?

Doubt it tbh, i consume alot of protein shakes and so far didn't see skin problems.
It's an easy alternative for having something sweet that tastes good and isnt McMilkshake filled with 50g of sugar

Most of the time protein powders are sweetened with sucralose which is known to raise insulin.

They're undoubtedly bad. Just buy flavourless pure protein. Why is it a problem? Doesn't even taste bad.

Its a dairy waste product, that some steroided business guy thought to sell to low IQ people backed by shitty research.

The dairy is basically toxic shit that will give you IBS let alone the lactose.

Make peace with high quality organic produce, homemade meals . Or if you need a protein shake, stick to pea protein.

they taste like rotten eggs lol

They don't wtf? Whey protein has got nothing to do with eggs. Rotten eggs are mostly because of sulfur.

No not really unless your drinking 10 a day

 

[SkinjobCatastrophe]

Its not as good as eating chicken or any real food but its not that bad for you. If you were drinking 10 shakes a day like some super bodybuilder on roids then maybe it would be a problem but 2 a day is no problem, you will be fine

 

[Gazzamogga]

Don't plan your diet around them but rather have a shake or two every now and then if you're not gonna make your protein goal for the day otherwise

I am aware, but its just tastes and smells like shit

Idk what you have. The stuff I have(whey protein) taste like sweet flour and smells like pretty much nothing. Smell maybe reminds me a little bit of wood dust.

flavourless pure protein does smell like shit, one with sweeteners is very nice and tasty

It doesn't. WTF is wrong with you. It smells like dry milk, literally, as it is literally dried up milk. The particles are flour like, so they do remind more so a dust/chips/flour itself, rather than milk, but only because they can fly around in the air easily.
Sweeteners are pure cancer and is extremely bad for your health.

idk I like to enjoy my shake, and sweeteners are way better then sugar
you need to remember that you will always want to enjoy your food and that being so tied will just make
you break eventually

As a matter of fact sugar is better than sweeteners. Sweeteners fuck up your blood more than sugar, sugar at least has added benefit of providing you the energy. Also nobody actually knows the long term consequences of sweeteners(they're not better than sugar for sure)
If protein shakes are what breaks your diet, then it has never began tbh. The problem has always been somewhere else.

Literally went to take a spoonful of the stuff now, as it has been a long while since I did. It smells like pretty much nothing and tastes at first like flour, but in a good way and it becomes sweeter, due to saliva. Now it's completely neutral flavour in my mouth. It barely taste like anything. Idk what cancer do you have there.

what? sugar is fucking shit for you, even if sweeteners aren't really healthy, they are for sure better
also my sugar levels are actually very good and stable and I eat more sweeteners then your average person
