robert Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 First Double Blind Study Proves Plant-based Rice Protein Has Identical Benefits To Animal-based Whey Protein (When they talk about "benefits" of whey protein, I assume they are referring to whey's ability to help build muscle, not "benefits" to overall health, which is an important distinction) http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/196818811.html Thoughts?

maybenot Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It`s really difficult to know if the participants in each group were eating properly and really trying their best while exercising. We can't even say that this particular study proves that plant protein diets aren't at disadvantage because it is not clear if there were vegetarians among the participants.That's why I generally find these kind of studies hard to believe. But it is always good to have some `scientific study` to back up some of our arguments against the dairy/meat industry =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Also looks like the study was founded by the same company whose rice protein was used, Axiom Foods. So I would take the results with a grain of salt unfortunately. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Or, you might say, a grain of rice?Haha, that made me chuckle I'm always a bit dubious of trials that are funded by companies that are selling what the study is erm, studying. But at least it's a step in the right direction, thanks for sharing the link Robert MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
