How to Choose a Perfect Breakfast Protein.
A Healthy Body is an Alkaline Body!
Tasteless MotherSOY® protein is the ONLY protein powder that has an alkaline pH value. Coffee, black tea, sugar, animal protein, whey protein and soy isolate proteins, all have a strong acid pH value and have to be neutralized by the body in order to protect your brain and vital organs. Your body automatically tries to neutralize the acids from these type of foods, by pulling calcium out of your bloodstream, teeth, muscles, bones and joints. This leads to bone and joint loss, tooth decay, muscle weakness, osteoarthritis and osteoporotic decay. In addition, medical research has discovered that bacteria, viruses and cancer cells grow rapidly in an acid pH but die in an alkaline pH environment. When it comes to food nutrition and your health – alkaline foods are always good, acid foods are always bad.
Acidic food proteins are also bitter tasting. This is why whey protein isolates and soy isolate protein drinks have to be artificially flavored and sweeteners added to disguise the bitterness and aftertaste of the acidic protein.
Tasteless MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" are the ONLY proteins that have an alkaline pH value, the same pH value as the human body. Since the protein powder has an alkaline pH they are virtually tasteless and water soluble, which means, they can be easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.
It Must be Easily Absorbed and Completely Utilized by the Body.
In order for any protein to be used by the human body it has to be easily absorbed into the bloodstream and completely utilized by the body. The standardized Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) represents the percent of a dietary protein which is effectively usable to humans. All animal source proteins are rated the lowest on the PDCAAS scale.
MotherSoy® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" are the highest-rated soy protein on the market today with a PDCAAS score of 99 out of 100. With 100 being a perfect score, MotherSOY® proteins are as close to perfection as one can get. In addition, 99% of the calories are from plant protein. One serving of Tasteless MotherSOY® protein powders provides 16 grams of protein, or the protein equivalent of 5 egg whites or a quarter-pound hamburger, without any of the bad cholesterol and the fat.
No Added Sugars or Artificial Sweeteners.
Sugar and artificial sweeteners are often used to mask the bitter taste of whey and soy isolate proteins – and they have an acid pH. Adding either processed sugar or an artificial sweetener to a "Diet Shake or Smoothie" is an oxymoron.
When your day begins, your total blood sugar is low. If you eat anything with processed sugar or artificial sweeteners, the brain recognizes the rapid increase in blood sugar and triggers insulin production. The function of insulin is to protect your vital organs from too much sugar, so it removes it from your bloodstream and converts it into fat and stores it in your body. As the insulin rapidly removes glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream, the decrease in blood sugar levels triggers your brain to send a signal that you are hungry. Whenever your blood sugar levels are low, even a candy mint can trigger insulin production, which ultimately converts everything you eat into stored body fat.
Sugar also triggers many other ailments. If you give sugar to your pets it will destroy their joints causing osteoarthritis and other diseases, just like in humans. Sugar and sugar alcohols also stimulates the growth of parasites, bacteria, viruses and many forms of cancer. Artificial sweeteners can have the same effects on your body and even cause other chemical reactions that severely effect your brain and vital organs.
Tasteless MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" do not have any added sugars or artificial sweeteners. You control the flavor and sweetness by the natural fruit juices you choose to use when blending a MotherSOY® protein smoothie.
It Must Not Contain any Artificial Man-Made Ingredients.
When you think about artificial ingredients, think plastic. Artificial ingredients in the form of sweeteners, preservatives, artificial flavors, food coloring and chemical additives are not healthy by any stretch of the imagination. All have an acid pH value and your liver has to isolate and extract these ingredients in order to protect your vital organs from damage. Artificial flavors, food coloring, chemical additives and food preservatives can also cause severe allergic reactions. Why would anyone believe that any artificial man-made ingredients is a healthy alternative to an all natural MotherSOY® protein smoothie made with pure fruit juice?
Tasteless MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" do not have any artificial ingredients, preservatives, artificial flavors, sugar or artificial sweeteners, food coloring or chemical additives. MotherSOY® protein powders are 100% pure, virtually tasteless and water-soluble soy concentrate and soy lecithin – the same pH value as the human body.
It Must Be Heart-Healthy
In order for a protein source to be considered heart-healthy, it must be low in saturated animal fats. All animal proteins including; meats, eggs, milk, cheese, eggs and whey proteins have saturated fats that can increase the risk of heart disease. The new high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets that encourage eating large amounts of animal proteins are setting people up for serious heart disease. In addition, all animal proteins have an acid pH value. A diet that is highly acidic in pH value may be the fundamental cause of osteoarthritic diseases.
Have you ever known anyone who died suddenly from a heart attack or
stroke? Perhaps an uncle, a friend, a co-worker, or even a parent? In
the wake of this tragedy, did you find yourself saying, in amazement "he/she seemed so healthy"!
In the United States, sudden death from heart attack should not come as
a surprise. Over 50% of all people in the United States will die of
heart disease or stroke (killing more people than all forms of disease
combined). Even more frightening – half of these deaths will occur
suddenly:
25% of all people who die from a heart attack and stroke will never
exhibit a single outward symptom (though the internal signs of vascular
disease are clearly there). The first symptom is SUDDEN DEATH.
In other words . . .
25% of you reading this may feel good?
You may look good?
And you could DROP DEAD tomorrow.
With heart disease, prevention is essential, because you may not get a
second chance. However, you may be thinking that since your doctor told
you that a total cholesterol of 200 is "fine", so you're in the clear if
you're "around 200". WRONG!
In the Framingham study of heart disease of 5000 people over 40
years (the most extensive and well-known study on heart disease ever
conducted) no one ever had a heart attack whose blood cholesterol was
less than 150. However, at the average doctor's visit in United States,
patients are routinely told that if their cholesterol is below 200 they
are doing "fine". Clearly, the medical establishment has their 'gauges'
set a little too loose!
The Goals
1. A serum cholesterol of less than 150
2. A total cholesterol to HDL ratio of less than 3.0
3. Blood pressure 120/80
MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" do not have any saturated fats. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims that eating 25 grams of soy protein a day, as a part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Does it Contain any Naturally-Occurring IsoFlavones?
Isoflavones have received a great deal of research, especially for possible cancer and heart disease-preventive properties. New discoveries in the field of nutrition have uncovered the amazing benefits of specific phytochemicals such as isoflavones. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive, meaning they are neither vitamins nor minerals. There are many hundreds of these bioactive plant chemicals found in dietary sources of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices.
Eat Food, Not Pills
Soy is meant to be consumed as a food, not as a pill. Studies have shown that isoflavone pills have little therapeutic value. Every positive study of the effects of soy isoflavones has used soy foods, not soy pills. For many, soy pills may also be difficult to digest. In addition to being expensive, pills provide no protein or fiber. MotherSOY® "Essential IsoFlavones" is best defined as a functional complete food, having all of the vital nutrients of the soybean, but concentrated in a more useable form.
Twice The Naturally-Occurring Isoflavones as Soy Isolate Proteins
Soy protein isolates contain no fiber, have an acidic pH, have a bitter taste, and have less than one-half of the naturally-occurring soy isoflavones of MotherSOY® "Essential IsoFlavones". In order to mask the bitter taste of soy isolates, many manufacturers add sugar, flavoring or artificial sweeteners. Also, in an effort to "boost" the appearance of more isoflavones, many manufacturers will add soy isoflavone extracts at the end of the manufacturing process. Unlike our competitors, MotherSOY® "Essential IsoFlavones" is a pure and tasteless product, containing only one, all natural ingredient – soy.
Build Muscles Faster
"Essential IsoFlavones" has a naturally higher level of two critical muscle-building amino acids, methionine and cystine, than any soy protein isolate. As a result, "Essential IsoFlavones" compares more closely to egg and meat sources as a way of achieving nitrogen balance. One would need to consume 17% more soy isolate than MotherSOY® "Essential IsoFlavones", in order to achieve the same effect.
Tasteless MotherSOY® "Essential IsoFlavones" have 75 milligrams of naturally occurring isoflavones per serving.
It Must
Be Diabetic Friendly
The American Diabetes Association estimates that there are 41 million Americans who have pre-diabetes (insulin resistance), in addition to the 20.8 million already diagnosed with diabetes. Another 5.5 million Americans have diabetes and don't even know it. The major cause of this epidemic is that the American diet is saturated with processed sugar, fats and salt. Fast food chains and manufacturers of processed foods are creating a society that is addicted to sugar. Artificial sweeteners, sugar substitutes and sugar alcohols have the same effect on the human body as processed sugar and in some cases, even worse.
Diabetics and people who are insulin resistant have to be very careful when eating anything that can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Sugar, artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, if uncontrolled, can send a diabetic into a coma, cause a stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and liver damage.
Tasteless MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" and "Essential IsoFlavones" do not have any added sugar, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. You control the sugar that you and your family consumes, by selecting a fresh fruit juice that has no added sugars. MotherSOY® proteins are also very low on the glycemic scale (sugar index) used by diabetics.
It Must Have a Low Sodium / High Potassium Ratio
The ratio between sodium to potassium is very important. The American Heart Association claims that "healthy American adults should eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. 1 teaspoon of sodium chloride (table salt) equals 2,400 milligrams of sodium. 1 teaspoon of baking soda equals 1,000 milligrams of sodium." Fast food chains and packaged food manufacturers use enormous amounts of sodium to flavor and preserve processed foods. The snack food industry caters to the American addiction for sugar, salt and saturated fats, without any regard for the consequences to your health.
Too much sodium in your diet causes your body to retain water, which leads to high blood pressure and the risk of a heart attack or stroke. According to recent estimates by the American Heart Association, "nearly one in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly one-third of these people don't know they have it. In fact, many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. This is why high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer." The only way to tell if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked."
Potassium is an important mineral (an electrolyte) that's essential for the body's growth and maintenance. It's necessary to keep a normal water balance between the cells and body fluids. Potassium is an important nutrient for the reactions between the nerves and muscles. Cellular enzymes need potassium to work properly. Potassium drives sodium and excess water out of the body, decreasing high blood pressure. According to medical research, a safe ratio between sodium to potassium for a healthy adult is 2 parts sodium to 1 part potassium.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims that foods containing at least 350 milligrams of potassium and less than 140 milligrams of sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Each serving of MotherSOY® "Essential Protein" provides 750 milligrams of potassium and only 5 milligrams of sodium.
It Must Contain Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber is the term for several materials in the parts of plants that your body can't digest. Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods, beans and legumes are all good sources of dietary fiber. Fiber is classified as soluble or insoluble. Soluble fiber can help lower blood cholesterol, by attaching itself to dietary fats before they enter the bloodstream in the intestinal tract and aiding the liver in extracting cholesterol from the blood. Insoluble fiber is necessary for normal bowel function and helps the body to eliminate toxins and waste products from the intestinal track.
A normal digestive system works by absorbing nutrients from food and eliminating waste from the body. If you do not get enough fiber in your diet, your body cannot properly eliminate the waste products from your intestinal track. This can result in severe constipation, bloating, gas and cramps. As the food you eat continues to build up in your intestines they begin to ferment and rot, creating alcohols, methane gas and harmful toxins. This is a perfect environment that encourages the growth of harmful bacteria, viruses, worms, parasites and cancerous tumors.
Death Begins in the Colon. If you do not consume enough dietary fiber in order to have a daily bowel movement, bacteria and harmful toxins can be released back into your bloodstream and cause severe damage to all of your internal organs. This process is called auto-intoxication. Many diseases are caused by the body's inability to properly remove waste products, bacteria and harmful toxins from the intestinal tract and colon. It has been estimated that the average American has 10 pounds or more of decaying food in their colon due to the lack of dietary fiber in their diet.
Whey and soy isolate protein products do not contain any dietary fiber. A soy isolate is made by separating the protein molecules from the other natural ingredients found in the soybean plant. Since whey and soy protein isolates do not contain any dietary fiber, they can also cause diarrhea, gas, bloating, cramps and complications with insulin production in some people. Low carb, high protein dieters, athletes, body builders and weight lifters who eat very large quantities of animal meats, whey and soy isolate proteins, especially those that contain added sugars and artificial flavors, can develop severe constipation, in addition to other medical complications, because they are not getting enough fiber in their diet.
Each serving of our tasteless MotherSOY® protein contains 5-6 grams of dietary fiber, equal to the fiber in 2 1/2 medium size apples. MotherSOY® proteins are not protein isolates, but complete proteins with all of the essential amino acids, made from 100% pure, soy and nothing else.
It Must Be Lactose Free
Lactose is the chemical name for the natural sugar found in cow's milk. Millions of people are lactose intolerant and experience mild to severe allergic reactions to milk; including flu like symptoms, nasal mucus, eye irritations, body rashes, psoriasis, itching, bloating, cramps, gas, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Many people experience very mild allergic reactions and don't realize that they even have a problem.
Lactose intolerance is most often caused by the body's inability to produce the lactase enzyme, which is necessary to digest milk products. African Americans, American Indians and Asians are born lactose intolerant. By the age of 40, the average person has also developed some deficiency in the ability of the pancreas to produce the lactase enzyme. Drinking or eating anything that is made with milk can produce a wide variety of problems.
Whey, or milk plasma is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled (soured) and strained; it is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein. Whole milk is curdled by adding an acidic substance, such as lemon juice or vinegar. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. Whey is also used to produce ricotta and gietost cheeses. For many years it was considered to be not suitable for human consumption and used solely as animal feed for farm animals. Whey proteins have an acid pH, bitter taste and contain milk lactose and other properties that can cause mild to severe allergic reactions with people who are lactose intolerant.
Many companies are making flavored protein shakes and smoothies that contain whey and soy isolates, mixed with cow milk that contains lactose, along with added sugar, artificial sweeteners, man-made ingredients, preservatives and artificial flavors. These products are marketed as healthy meal replacements and diet aids, but instead, they are very dangerous to the health of millions of people who are lactose intolerant, insulin resistant or deficient, have high blood pressure, or suffer from heart, lung, liver, colon or kidney diseases.
Our tasteless MotherSOY® proteins do not contain any lactose and are not protein isolates, but made from 100% pure, tasteless soy protein concentrate and soy lecithin – complete with all of the essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, isoflavones and fiber naturally found in the soybean plant.
It Must Be Cholesterol Free
Heart disease, cancer, and stroke represent the three leading causes of death in our society. For all three, the high fat, low fiber American diet is a major contributing factor. The higher your LDL cholesterol level, the greater your risk of heart disease. Avoid dietary cholesterol, for its consumption directly raises serum cholesterol levels. LDL cholesterol is only found in animal products – meat, milk, cheese, whey and eggs.
"We found that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides." (New England Journal of Medicine, Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Soy Protein Intake on Serum Lipids, August 3, 1995.)
"Just 50 grams of soy protein added to your regular diet has been found to lower blood cholesterol levels on average 21% in three weeks and greater with long term use." (Lancet 5:1977, JADA 91:1991, AmJClinNutr 1993.)
"Soy protein is safe, very economical, and represents the only known strategy which selectively lowers only the bad (LDL) cholesterol while actually raising the good (HDL) cholesterol." (AmJClinNutr 34:1981, 35:1982, 50:1989.)
It Must Be Fat Free
All animal products contain dietary fat, especially saturated fat. Your body manufactures cholesterol directly from this source. Depending upon your body size and energy expenditure, your fat intake should be between only 15-35 fat grams per day, representing approximately 10% of your daily total calorie intake.
Animal fats makes your body and mind dull, decreasing your physical endurance and ability to concentrate. Not only does it cause you to become tired and lazy but it also effects your joints and puts extra load on other parts of your body. Animal fats have an acid pH value and place enormous demands on your body to neutralize the acids and to eliminate the fats from your body. Animal fats are very difficult to remove from the body once they have been stored. People who consume large amounts of animal fats are at risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, liver and colon diseases.
According to the CDC the average American is 30 pounds overweight, while 1/3 of the U.S. population is obese. According to the American Obesity Association, obesity is on the verge of surpassing smoking as the #1 cause of preventable death. The National Institute of Health claims that "obesity in kids is now epidemic in the United States. The number of children who are overweight has doubled in the last two to three decades; currently one child in five is overweight. Obese children now have diseases like type 2 diabetes that used to only occur in adults. And overweight kids tend to become overweight adults, continuing to put them at greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke."
Fast food restaurants and junk food diets with high levels of animal fats have contributed tremendously to this epidemic in American society. Robert Greczyn Jr., president and chief executive of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina claims, "This is the public health crisis of the 21st century. Public health experts believe that, without a dramatic change, the coming generation will die at a younger age than our generation."
Our tasteless MotherSOY® proteins do not contain any animal fats and has even been proven in medical research to be the only food source that can selectively lower bad (LDL) cholesterol while actually raising good (HDL) cholesterol. A MotherSOY® breakfast smoothie, made with fresh fruit and juice, is the perfect solution for rapid weight-loss and living a life filled with vibrant health and abundant energy.
