A member asked:
I am a diabtic type 2 and i do gym regularily i just started whey protein and l-glutamine 5gm is it ok for me?

Probably not: The medical community is divided on the dangers of Amino Acid and whey protein supplementation. Some like me, think it may increase risk for cancer and multiple sclerosis. Best to get your protein from healthier, not dispud sources like beans, nuts, seeds, tofu and even wild fish like salmon.
