The Sydney Morning Herald - "The Real Price of Protein"

Bulk Nutrients

Site Advertiser
A very interesting article we came across with experts basically backing up what we try to promote all the time.

The real price of protein

Some quotes:

"Everybody who goes to the gym these days thinks they need an ultra expensive super-scientific sounding protein supplement but it's often unwarranted."
- Dr Louise Burke, the head of sports nutrition at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS)


“At the end of the day protein supplements are a processed food product and many of the ridiculous claims made on the ones with a whole load of extras added have no scientific backing."
- Nutritionist Joanna McMillan


Ray Klerck, a fitness writer for Men's Health magazine, claims the best option is to buy cheaper no-name whey protein, add a banana and berries and a couple of egg whites...
"So many protein supplements have many additives, sugar and preservatives to add a point of difference."

- Ray Klerk, fitness editor for Men's Health and Fitness

Good to see a magazine writer speak the truth rather than pander to supp companies (the big marketting ones i mean)
