This is obviously good. I think this research publishd in 2005 puts the concept that "whey is bad" for a diabetic to rest. Here's the quote: "...results demonstrate that the whey protein diet in exercise- trained rats results in significantly higher levels of liver glycogen, because of the combined effects of regulation of rate limiting glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzyme activities and activation of glycogenesis from alanine via alanine amino- transferase."

How about whey without the high carbs? Do you think that just perhaps one of the healthiest foods one could possibly eat could be under attack because it can be used as a cntral part of a program to reverse diabetes type II? My instinct tells me yes. The first abstract is the one we're looking for; it says: "Whey proteins have insulinotropic effects and reduce the postprandial glycemia in healthy subjects. The mechanism is not known, but insulinogenic amino acids and the incretin hormones seem to be involved." The mechanism is in fact known. Anti-aging research using amino acids that was published back in 1981 established that certain amino acids elevate HGH, insulin, and IGF-1. Insulin and IGF-1 are strong growth <!--more--> factors, and both are necessary to survival. The key to understanding health or illness is not the burst of healing power you get from triggering their release, but the ambient "resting" levels of insulin that we're trying to keep down between the bursts.
