A member asked:
What causes whey protein to be worse than protein from food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein: Generally it is not. However, if all or nearly all of a person's protein comes from only one source, there might end up being a deficiency in certain Amino Acids which are the building blocks for protein. It is best to get protein from multiple sources.
