I consume natural (tasteless) whey isolate powder in a shake with some unsugared almond milk, oats and blueberries. I work out very intensive 5 days in the week and never have gas, inflamation or joint issues. I consune this protein every morning for like 10+ years. I recommend to use natural whey because it has no crap like sweeteners and other artificial flavor enhancers.
Best thing people can do instead of arguing whether whey protein is safe or not is by finding it out themselves. Just do a Liver Function test to see if your liver is affected(confirm the report with doctor obviously). If so stop whey for a month completely and then do another test. If the levels went back to normal or decreased after stopping whey then you will figure out the truth. However, if everything is normal then continue your supplement. Nowadays be it whey or any supplement, nothing can be guaranteed that it will be pure. Research would say that its safe. But you can't trust a company at the end of the day. The best thing you can do for you is to monitor your own health and take actions.
FRESH whey protein of crappy powder whey protein? we grew up in Europe where everybody was healthy and people knew what to feed their kids AND liquid way was given to kids but in the U.S. you don’t deserve quality food so you get fed like animals: powder food in large containers …. then you get sick and you blame the food but you never blame the junky imitation of that food
"Any time you take something that's refined out of the normal and whole complex nature has designed, it comes with a package...". That's why I add the whey protein back into whole milk (high fat) and shake it before I consume it. :D
Just don't consume whey protien on it's own, instead combine it with some healthy fats and some dietry fibre. Doing so you'll be able to curb the insulin spike caused by it.
He's not saying you will die or get cancer or whatever if you choose to take whey, he's telling you whey is inflammatory (which it is) and may make you feel unwell (which it does to many people). So, take it to supplement your diet and see how it works for you, maybe eat some anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant foods if you don't already. Also, another thing you can try, is to eat some more lean meat.

Thanks for explaining it! I appreciate the clear explanation!
It’s a problem for everyone. Protein activates IGF-1 which induces rapid aging and insulin resistance over long term constant consumption. And it takes a lot for your liver to digest hence liver damage. I still have a whey protein shake post workout because we need those proteins for muscle recovery but I know it spikes my insulin and IGF-1 like anyone else
Dr Berg - what about high quality whey protein isolate (WPI) which is grass fed grass finished with no added sweeteners? surely that’s ok as a means for increasing protein intake ?
Protein is best utilized in the presence of fat. The worst thing these powder companies ever did was remove the fat component from the powder because fat has been demonized. Never mix lean isolate powder in water; your body will convert most of that to pure sugar. The best thing you could do is use milk kefir as the liquid base with a splash of heavy cream. Now the protein can be utilized as intended
@@Dirk_van_Tonderhello ! I´am female ,just started a diet and workout to lose weight , my weight is 77kg and height 1,63 cm, can you please tell me which protein I can take ? And I mix it with water or milk ? Thank you advanced
@@malsa6374 Hi there, which diet are you trying if i may ask? if you want to lose weight quick without any physical effort, the carnivore diet is the best. I lost 6kgs after the first 14 days but this requires you eat only animal meat and animal products such as eggs, some fermented dairy like kefir, cheese, fish, bacon etc (and the natural fat that comes with the meat - the fatty rind on steaks/the fatty skin on chicken/fish with fatty skin). You need to avoid all forms of carbohydrate and sugar (fruit/vegetables/grains and of course products made from these things). This will put your body into ketosis initially where your energy is coming from fats and not carbs which is a much healthier metabolic state and you will notice many health improvements ontop of weight loss. With eating this way you most likely won't even need any protein supplements. It doesn't have to be expensive meat either - i basically live on omelettes stuffed with beef mince and melted cheese. in fact i have only been eating that for the past month as it contains all the macro and micronutrients you need. Or homemade burger patties from beef mince topped with egg and melted cheese. The only condiment you should use is good quality salt - no mayonnaise/tomato sauce etc. I also workout and do enjoy a protein shake myself after gym and i use unflavoured whey protein concentrate (no additives/sweeteners/sugars etc) with my homemade milk kefir as the liquid base and maybe 30-40ml cream and ice blended in a nutribullet. You don't want any additives in your protein powder they are not healthy. the only ingredient should be 'whey protein concentrate/isolate'. Isolate is more expensive because it's 90% or so pure protein but whey concentrate is fine as long as it is at least 78% protein by weight. I wouldn't use plain milk as the lactose/carbohydrate content is quite high - not conducive to weight loss. Kefir is fermented milk where most of the lactose is consumed by the good bacteria and has a ton of probiotics. But like i said you generally want some fat with the protein you consume it is utilized far better than lean protein by itself and that's why i add a bit of cream. If you cant get kefir you could use whole milk but dilute it with water at a ratio of one third milk/two thirds water but then add a bit of cream too. You also can get low-carbohydrate content double cream plain/greek yoghurt (make sure it's maximum 3 grams carbs per 100grams) and do the same
@@malsa6374always take whey protein isolate. Absolutely complete protein without any fat or sugar. You should only take one scoop a day since based on your height and weight you don’t need much protein. Only take two scoops if you’re not eating protein in your regular meals. Hope this helps. For brands I’d say dymatize, optimum nutrition, nutrabio are the best isolates out there.
go check out his channel, and the videos you'll find farmer info than a short will give. (this will be a clip of a longer video-someone said it's the 7 foods that ruin your liver)
Have to disagree with this video. It depends on what type of protein, most likely the one he took was not the healthiest one. Real protein powder is awesome and healthy.
Yes, I've learned (especially after the scandemic) not to trust the so-called experts. Just remember Mr Berg is a "Chiropractor". So, do your own research.
Like which one exactly? Please drop the name of it exactly. Anyone can say "just drink the healthy stuff" and then not provide proof. I'll believe you when you drop the name of your product you're referencing.
This is misleading. There are many levels of quality for whey protien. I have read a lot of research that defines amazing benefits of the right kind of whey protein.

Exactly. Absolutely nothing wrong with whey protein. Been taking it for over 20 years as an athlete. Zero issues and liver is healthy. Also eat 12 eggs a day. Again no issues. Blood work is excellent. Wouldn't believe what most drs say, most have no idea and just go off hunches not facts.

@@dingdong6005 70% of it is progressive overload at the gym, going consistently and working hard. The rest of it is diet and sleep. Whey is a supplement, so it's like 5% of the equation if even that, it's just convenient.

Whey protein obtained from completely fermented kefir is healthy, and if you add some fresh cream and a little bit of unrefined salt, it is also very tasty.
Grass fed whey isolate is fine in my opinion, never had issues just use it on training days, at the end of the day whey isolate is filtered,doesn't have the nasties
Dr. Berg, I have a doubt... Would it be harmless if I consume whey protein powder not to gain weight, also accordingly exercising ? Also is their any problem if I consume it with no maltodextrin ?
Don't take advice from a guy who has a degree in chiropractic health and is associated with scientology. I'm skinny and I've been taking whey protein for 10 years and nothing happened to me. You just have to make sure you get real authentic good quality whey protein. Peace ✌️😜
It’s been a long time since you’ve been a kid Doc. Protein powder has changed a lot since then. So has the consumer’s knowledge. Time to do some research and update this video.
100% disagree. Its called a supplement. You're supposed to supplement in maybe 1 or 2 scoops a day to reach your protein goals for the day. So they can build muscle. Not all people can reach that just eating food. You're over here talking bout chowing in down and it made you feel sick. Well duh. Pretty sure if i ate to much of anything in one sitting id feel sick too😂
You most likely took a mass gainer. If you want to gain weight, you don't use protein powder to do so; you bulk (eat over 2,500-3,000 calories). Protein is supposed to fill you up if you take casein protein, or it absorbs into your body quickly if it's an isolate (there are more types, but isolate is the standard). In other words, you were a kid who thought protein was the magic solution to all your problems, like many beginners. Which isn't an insult but learn from your mistakes its like people who call creatine a steroid when all it does is make you retain water in your muscles
@@Laith78Research from Asia shows whey protein reduces fatty liver . If you take Organic natural whey protein from grass fed cows it's totally different to the typical processed whey
What about whey protein isolate? Is that still the same thing that will cause inflammation? If so, is Pea protein better and does it work for muscle growth?
i use unflavored and use a sached ofvalinna sugar as flavor or coca poweder with a bit of water and then stir it in for a chocolat flavor. and just ordered a blender to mix with fruit.
I’m glad I saw this because I see so many fitness bods talking about unsing protein powders to bulk protein intake and this is interesting. I think I’ll stick to getting it through more natural means…I’ll add another steak to my lunch, dinner (or breakfast😂)
I’m taking organic protein powder because I’m vegan. Dr Berg is this bad too? I’m not sick drinking it,,but should I stop using it? Do you have any recommendations alternative?
Its more than enough and we don't need 2g per kg. Something between 1.3-1.6 is more than enough for muscle gains. We are getting screwed by this supplement companies.
Hey just wanted to reply, I cannot remember what video he said, but he said fry food is not bad for you as long as its not vegetable oil/corn/granola oil. Thats what makes fried food bad. If fried in extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil of some sort, its healthy.
What about grass fed whey protein? The brand I use has only whey protein concentrate, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, stevia extract, monk fruit extract (and cocoa, peanut powder, vanilla, etc...depending on flavored or unflavored).
I would not encourage eating huge quantities of whey for someone who doesn't exercise,, but consumed after a workout or as part of breakfast offers little risk and real benefit.
Doc please help…I have a BMI of 15.8, I’m underweight with a fat percentage of 7.9% and severely self conscious.

Probably what messed him up was the maltodextrin on the one he drank, he's unfortunately falling into the bandwagon fallacy of thinking just because his did him wrong, all whey is bad He confirmed me this point by ending the video as is not saying if he tried more.
@@ek6744 the bioavailability of protein is highest in the eggs, mean 100 grams of protein from eggs can be equivalent to 150 grams of protein from beef

Bro use dena tablet blend instead of good quality whey protein. If your not able to get your daily protin intake (which is 0.8 grams / kg) from regular food you can easily use a good quality whey protein. Taking one scoop whey protein will not cause any harm and instead it will help you to keep your muscle mass intact if you do a lot of cardio. I am a runner and i also do weight training 6 days or even 7 days a week and yes i did had fatty liver 2years ago and that's when i started working out. I lost quite a lot of weight after i started exercising but i lost quite a bit of muscle mass during my weight loss as i was on a low calorie diet and whey protein definitely helped me to reach my daily protein intake. I don't have any liver or any other issues right now and still taking whey protein everyday so yaaa don't need to worry. Just make sure your consuming a high quality and genuine whey protein.

I prefer hemp. Wey does not contain the whole range of protein, maybe its the reason why it is bad to eat too much of it mainly.
It’s a problem for everyone. Protein activates IGF-1 which induces rapid aging and insulin resistance over long term constant consumption. And it takes a lot for your liver to digest hence liver damage. I still have a whey protein shake post workout because we need those proteins for muscle recovery but I know it spikes my insulin and IGF-1 like anyone else
@@PlayshotKalowhats an alternative
What study are you citing regarding whey protein causing inflammation? Can't seem to find anything
Dr Berg - what about high quality whey protein isolate (WPI) which is grass fed grass finished with no added sweeteners? surely that’s ok as a means for increasing protein intake ?
Protein is best utilized in the presence of fat. The worst thing these powder companies ever did was remove the fat component from the powder because fat has been demonized.
Never mix lean isolate powder in water; your body will convert most of that to pure sugar. The best thing you could do is use milk kefir as the liquid base with a splash of heavy cream. Now the protein can be utilized as intended
@@Dirk_van_Tonderhello ! I´am female ,just started a diet and workout to lose weight , my weight is 77kg and height 1,63 cm, can you please tell me which protein I can take ? And I mix it with water or milk ? Thank you advanced
@@malsa6374 Hi there, which diet are you trying if i may ask? if you want to lose weight quick without any physical effort, the carnivore diet is the best. I lost 6kgs after the first 14 days but this requires you eat only animal meat and animal products such as eggs, some fermented dairy like kefir, cheese, fish, bacon etc (and the natural fat that comes with the meat - the fatty rind on steaks/the fatty skin on chicken/fish with fatty skin). You need to avoid all forms of carbohydrate and sugar (fruit/vegetables/grains and of course products made from these things). This will put your body into ketosis initially where your energy is coming from fats and not carbs which is a much healthier metabolic state and you will notice many health improvements ontop of weight loss. With eating this way you most likely won't even need any protein supplements.
It doesn't have to be expensive meat either - i basically live on omelettes stuffed with beef mince and melted cheese. in fact i have only been eating that for the past month as it contains all the macro and micronutrients you need. Or homemade burger patties from beef mince topped with egg and melted cheese. The only condiment you should use is good quality salt - no mayonnaise/tomato sauce etc.
I also workout and do enjoy a protein shake myself after gym and i use unflavoured whey protein concentrate (no additives/sweeteners/sugars etc) with my homemade milk kefir as the liquid base and maybe 30-40ml cream and ice blended in a nutribullet. You don't want any additives in your protein powder they are not healthy. the only ingredient should be 'whey protein concentrate/isolate'. Isolate is more expensive because it's 90% or so pure protein but whey concentrate is fine as long as it is at least 78% protein by weight. I wouldn't use plain milk as the lactose/carbohydrate content is quite high - not conducive to weight loss. Kefir is fermented milk where most of the lactose is consumed by the good bacteria and has a ton of probiotics. But like i said you generally want some fat with the protein you consume it is utilized far better than lean protein by itself and that's why i add a bit of cream. If you cant get kefir you could use whole milk but dilute it with water at a ratio of one third milk/two thirds water but then add a bit of cream too. You also can get low-carbohydrate content double cream plain/greek yoghurt (make sure it's maximum 3 grams carbs per 100grams) and do the same
@@malsa6374always take whey protein isolate. Absolutely complete protein without any fat or sugar. You should only take one scoop a day since based on your height and weight you don’t need much protein. Only take two scoops if you’re not eating protein in your regular meals. Hope this helps.
For brands I’d say dymatize, optimum nutrition, nutrabio are the best isolates out there.
go check out his channel, and the videos you'll find farmer info than a short will give. (this will be a clip of a longer video-someone said it's the 7 foods that ruin your liver)
Have to disagree with this video. It depends on what type of protein, most likely the one he took was not the healthiest one. Real protein powder is awesome and healthy.
Yes
Yes, I've learned (especially after the scandemic) not to trust the so-called experts. Just remember Mr Berg is a "Chiropractor". So, do your own research.
yes- he said it had MALTODEXTRIN... which is deadly
Like which one exactly? Please drop the name of it exactly. Anyone can say "just drink the healthy stuff" and then not provide proof. I'll believe you when you drop the name of your product you're referencing.
@steelsteez6118 Organic Protein Company is grass-fed and doesn't have any additives. No Maltodextrin, none of that shit.

Depends if it’s a mass gainer protein powder. So contains tons of carbs aswel.
Its literally just protein extracted from milk. Stop overcomplicating it. Nothing wrong with it.
Show us your relevant medical experience bro
Exactly. Absolutely nothing wrong with whey protein. Been taking it for over 20 years as an athlete. Zero issues and liver is healthy. Also eat 12 eggs a day. Again no issues. Blood work is excellent. Wouldn't believe what most drs say, most have no idea and just go off hunches not facts.

@@SG-yg1eo Your body probably reacts in a certain way then. I have been taking protein powder for ages now. Nothing negative happened. And are you sure you're not getting some protein powder made by some sketchy company? Get high grade protein powder if you aren't.
Mmmmmm... maltodextrin, the corn sugar that isn't sweet. It's good for coating machine parts so your products don't stick but not so good to drink bottles of the stuff daily.
Why is it used in supplements? Sounds problematic.
What is maltodextrin I see it everywhere. Is it good or bad?
@@Corteum Because maltodextrin is a fast-digesting carbohydrate used for food additives
@@Password-xu4nd Experts consider maltodextrin a safe product for consumption, but it may carry some risks. If you have diabetes or celiac disease, use healthier alternatives to the product.

It might be safer u consume in smaller quantities
Mass gainer protein, and whey protein concentrate usually used maltodextrin in their ingredients list.

Does it build muscles?
@@dingdong6005 70% of it is progressive overload at the gym, going consistently and working hard. The rest of it is diet and sleep. Whey is a supplement, so it's like 5% of the equation if even that, it's just convenient.

Whey protein obtained from completely fermented kefir is healthy, and if you add some fresh cream and a little bit of unrefined salt, it is also very tasty.
Where do you find it?
Grass fed whey isolate is fine in my opinion, never had issues just use it on training days, at the end of the day whey isolate is filtered,doesn't have the nasties
What if it is grass fed
Your blaming whey? Id blame the maltodextrin, you didnt state how much of either you were taking daily. I expect a better report from a doctor
Dr. Berg, I have a doubt...
Would it be harmless if I consume whey protein powder not to gain weight, also accordingly exercising ?
Also is their any problem if I consume it with no maltodextrin ?
This guy is a fraud, not a real doctor. Don’t listen to his advice
Any research paper to substantiate your claims Doc?
Yes ! Yes ! I used to consumed it in the 90’s but Soon I learned the truth you are sharing 😏… thank you ever soo much …🙏🏼😃👌🏼♥️❤️Dr Berg 😊
First time I am hearing a thing from you without any scientific evidence. Are you alright Doctor Berg?
Don't take advice from a guy who has a degree in chiropractic health and is associated with scientology. I'm skinny and I've been taking whey protein for 10 years and nothing happened to me. You just have to make sure you get real authentic good quality whey protein. Peace ✌️😜
It’s been a long time since you’ve been a kid Doc. Protein powder has changed a lot since then. So has the consumer’s knowledge. Time to do some research and update this video.
100% disagree. Its called a supplement. You're supposed to supplement in maybe 1 or 2 scoops a day to reach your protein goals for the day. So they can build muscle. Not all people can reach that just eating food. You're over here talking bout chowing in down and it made you feel sick. Well duh. Pretty sure if i ate to much of anything in one sitting id feel sick too😂
Yea same
What is your opinion on plant based protein powder, such as pea protein??
listen to the full video, pea and soy are bad
Pea protein powder did damage to my liver. Garden of Life brand. I am back to whey powder in raw kefir. No problems.
Thank you Mr burg. Your small actions make a huge impact
This guy has no clue what he’s talking about

@@Mizuamv Oh he does. He is very good at obfuscating and taking advantage of orthorexics to sell his supplements. He knows exactly what he's doing.
You most likely took a mass gainer.
If you want to gain weight, you don't use protein powder to do so; you bulk (eat over 2,500-3,000 calories).
Protein is supposed to fill you up if you take casein protein, or it absorbs into your body quickly if it's an isolate (there are more types, but isolate is the standard).
In other words, you were a kid who thought protein was the magic solution to all your problems, like many beginners. Which isn't an insult but learn from your mistakes its like people who call creatine a steroid when all it does is make you retain water in your muscles
Hello doc thank you for the info and what kind of protein you like ? Or with protein powder is good for the gut will be helpful if you tell us

Bro use dena tablet blend instead of good quality whey protein. If your not able to get your daily protin intake (which is 0.8 grams / kg) from regular food you can easily use a good quality whey protein. Taking one scoop whey protein will not cause any harm and instead it will help you to keep your muscle mass intact if you do a lot of cardio. I am a runner and i also do weight training 6 days or even 7 days a week and yes i did had fatty liver 2years ago and that's when i started working out. I lost quite a lot of weight after i started exercising but i lost quite a bit of muscle mass during my weight loss as i was on a low calorie diet and whey protein definitely helped me to reach my daily protein intake. I don't have any liver or any other issues right now and still taking whey protein everyday so yaaa don't need to worry. Just make sure your consuming a high quality and genuine whey protein.
