Hey guys, Dr. Burke here in this very short video, I'm going to talk about the absolute worst protein powder that you can consume, all right, can you take any, can you take well guess what it is?

0:12.0

Now it's not pea protein, it's not even way protein, it is the soy protein isolate, that's the worst protein you can possibly consume.

0:22.0

Why? Because first of all, 95% of all soy is genetically modified, which means that it has residue of an herbicide, which is basically round up ready called glyphosate, which is a pretty deadly chemical.

0:39.0

And so when they modify this genetically, it can even act like an estrogenic thing to even insects too, so it's going to raise your estrogen levels and decrease your testosterone.

0:52.0

Now women are pretty much already estrogen dominant and men don't need any more estrogen, so this will lower testosterone.

1:00.0

It's in the diet shakes, it's in the diet bars, it's in infant formula, crazy, it's in the artificial vegan patties, the fake meat.

1:12.0

So you want to stay away from this protein, it's really hard and liver, and plus it's not fermented, fermented like in tofu, tempeh and miso, this is not fermented, so that means it doesn't digest well and it's going to be really hard on your liver.

1:30.0

One day I was at Whole Foods and I saw these little chicken little nugget things, I said oh that's pretty cool, I'm going to order some of them, and I noticed when I bought them, they were all the same size.

1:43.0

And so I started eating them, I'm like this tastes like a weird piece of chicken, it was chicken made into soy protein isolates.

1:53.0

And I get home, I probably had two or three and my whole right side of my liver was like in pain.

2:00.0

So that was a perfect example or a demonstration of what I'm not going to do again.

2:06.0

So I just wanted to mention this and so put your comments below and thanks for watching.
