Today we return to the government shills and the incompetent fools at Verywell Health for an article covering the new “protein water” gimmick. Let’s see what they have to say.
“Protein is taking over the internet and the grocery store. Countless fitness influencers wax poetic about the benefits of eating lots of protein, and store shelves are filled with protein bars, shakes, and powders that all promise to help.”
Actually, this psy-op, this deception, has been going on for a very long time. It kind of originated from the gym- and fitness industry, as bodybuilders taking anabolic steroids and other drugs have an immensely accelerated protein synthesis/turnover and need to consume extreme amounts of protein to get the results they want. Thus, protein has always been the focus as they never cared about actual health and longevity to begin with. In recent years, this stupid idea went more mainstream as it fits perfectly with the food- and nutrition deception that has been pushed for the last 150 years.
While protein is important, it’s something that simply takes care of itself if you focus on what actually is important for us humans as obligate hyper carnivores, as in natural nutrient-dense animal-based foods. As fatty meat should be your staple, the larger part of anything you eat, protein will never be an issue, especially not if you consume some eggs every day or a few times a week.
The deceptive focus on protein is simply a way to program people to ignore what is really important, as in all essential nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and the extremely important animal fats, as in saturated fats, omega-3, and cholesterol. And that is also the reason why protein powders, protein shakes, protein bars and other vile and useless products are being pushed by the food and supplement industry, as they are dirt cheap to produce and contain no additional nutrition at all. No food synergy, none of the extremely important saturated fats, cholesterol, omega-3 or vitamins.
I covered this in my article “What Is More Important Than Protein? Animal Fats!”
“One new item gaining popularity is protein water. But is there any benefit to swapping protein shakes or powders, or even regular water, with protein water?”
How stupid is the author of this article, this Helen Carefoot? It’s a legitimate question. A protein powder is a dietary supplement made from extracted proteins from various sources such as animal products like milk and eggs, or useless plant-based sources like soy, peas, rice, and hemp. The end result is usually a powder with at least 76 to 84% protein and only trace amounts of carbohydrates and fat, a tiny bit of minerals, and then moisture making up the rest of the weight. A really refined animal-based powder has a protein content of about 86 to 92%, leaving pretty much only pure protein and a little bit of minerals.
Since the beginning of time, protein powders have been made to be added to a source of water, making a simple “protein shake.” There is also the option to use milk or any other similar beverage for “better taste” and to increase the energy content and add in a little more nutrients — or even adding other crap to it (as in highly toxic and damaging bananas, peanut butter, or honey, etcetera.) This is usually recommended for those wanting to gain weight.
With that said, “protein water” is simply a new silly term for a pre-packaged “protein drink,” as in taking a somewhat refined and pure protein powder and solving it in some water. It’s the exact same thing. It’s simply water with added protein, as in adding a protein powder to a bottle of water.
While other previous “protein drinks” on the market usually used a lot of added sugar, thickening agents, low quality protein mixes, and so on, “protein water” might be somewhat more like an actual protein powder based shake, but I’ve already seen “protein water” products with added sugars for flavor. So, in the end, it’s just pre-made and packaged garbage. If you think you need additional protein, simply get a high quality protein powder. It will be cheaper and it will be healthier, and there’s no risk of protein denaturation which will happen with anything pre-packed standing on a shelf.
“Protein water is simply water with added protein. It can be made by mixing liquid or powder protein supplements with water or purchased pre-bottled. Most packaged protein waters contain 60 to 90 calories and provide 15 to 20 grams of protein per serving.”
Yes, there you go, you imbecile. “It can be made by mixing powder protein supplements with water.” So, why the heck did you make a headline that encourages a switch when it’s the same thing? And again, a pre-bottled product will always be inferior as the protein will begin to degrade, as in denature, as previously mentioned.
“They mostly come in fruity flavors and are often considered a lower-calorie alternative to protein shakes. Some are marketed to athletes and gym goers, while others that contain collagen are marketed as beauty boosters.”
Yes, when you do not go for a “milkshake” or creamy consistency, fruity flavors tend to be easier and more fitting, as the product will be more liquid. It’s the same thing with amino acid supplements, as in BCAA or EAA powders. Of course, they will add in a lot of sweeteners and other chemicals instead.
“Protein is essential for all sorts of bodily functions and systems, including building and maintaining muscle, and it can help you feel full, which aids with weight loss and management”
Yes, protein is essential. And you will still get more than enough if you follow our natural human diet. As for protein and feeling full, that is very temporary, as hunger and cravings are signals of nutrient deficiencies.
“However, we don’t need as much protein as the food and supplement industry and the weight loss industry would have you think,” said Dana Hunnes, PhD, MPH, RD, senior dietitian supervisor at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and adjunct assistant professor at UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health.”
No, we do not, unless we are into elite sports or want to build muscle mass. However, we do need a lot more than these satanic institutions recommend.
What Are the Benefits of Protein Water?
“The main benefit of protein water is that it can provide a relatively low-calorie protein boost, and its light texture and mild taste make it an appealing alternative to protein shakes and other supplements, said Danielle Trafficanda-Raynor, MS, RDN, a clinical dietitian at Keck Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) and USC Verdugo Hills Hospital.”
Again, protein water and protein shakes are essentially the same thing. Protein water is simply a protein powder added to water, while other “protein shakes” that you compare it to can be a protein powder added to milk and/or contain other foodstuffs if weight gain is desired.
And having a small “protein water” or “shake” of only 15 to 20 grams of protein between meals, or as a meal replacement, while it will add a little protein “boost,” it will also add to the toxic load due to its sweeteners, flavoring, and other chemicals. And as it has no food synergy, no other beneficial or essential nutrients, it will simply tax the digestive system and your metabolic processes without really contributing anything useful.
Have you ever seen a “pure protein” supplement in nature? No. The closest you would get is either some lean meat as in a rabbit, white fish, or turkey, and they would still provide some fats, vitamins, and minerals. And being very small animals, you would also consume some of the organs in the same sitting, which are very rich in all essential nutrients.
And this also takes us to the extreme fallacy of mixing protein with carbohydrates, which is extremely toxic, and something a lot of clueless bodybuilders and fitness practitioners do without giving it a second thought. Well, humans are obligate hyper carnivores and all protein in nature comes together with fat. Try and find any food in nature that is naturally high in both protein and carbohydrates. It does not exist. Extremely unnatural, extremely toxic and damaging. And again, you can not absorb and utilize much of the “protein” in anything plant-based, so what retarded “nutritionists” claim are “high protein” plant foods, are actually very low in bioavailable usable protein.
“That said, protein water shouldn’t replace water or protein-rich foods in your diet. Drinking enough water is essential for good health, but swapping plain water for protein water isn’t necessary.”
Correct, a stupid protein shake or a protein powder should never replace protein-rich foods, as in animal-based foods. Any kind of “protein supplement” should only be used to help you reach your protein intake goal if you for some reason can’t get enough through your diet and animal-based foods, which is unlikely unless you’re very muscular or want to build more muscle mass.
“Protein water is only beneficial if it’s serving a purpose, for example, if you have trouble getting enough protein in your diet or if you’re trying to build muscle but you don’t like protein shakes, Trafficanda-Raynor told Verywell.”
Yeah, I just said that. And with that said, any animal-based protein powder will be a better choice than any plant-based source, including retarded plant-based foods which some mentally ill people believe can provide protein (lentils, beans, or whatever — it’s all nutritionless toxic and highly damaging crap.)
“Nutrient-rich, high-protein foods, like lean meat, poultry, seafood, soy, legumes, seeds, nuts, and eggs, also have additional beneficial nutrients that contribute to overall health and can help prevent disease, which protein water doesn’t.”
You started out in a good way, unconsciously naming the most potent foods first, as in meat, poultry and seafood, as in animal-based sources. However, fatty meat is better, as it is much more nutritious. Also, eggs are a gold mine of nutrition.
And again, soy, legumes, seeds, and nuts are extremely toxic and very contraindicated to our natural diet. Recommending plant-based crap that will damage people’s bodies and shorten their lifespan is criminally evil.
Does Protein Water Have Any Risks?
“For most people, trying protein water doesn’t carry much risk. Be sure to read the labels of packaged protein waters to see if they have added ingredients, flavors, and sugar that could upset your stomach.”
There you go, added flavors and even sugars. In other words, not really better than any previous “protein shakes” on the market. Simply a silly re-branding, a new gimmick.
“Many bottled protein waters include collagen or whey protein derived from animals, so vegans and vegetarians should seek out or make a version with pea, soy, or hemp protein. Trafficanda-Raynor recommends watching for added sugar and caffeine, too.”
No, vegans need help to deal with their mental illness before all the damage they do to themselves becomes irreversible. As I’ve helped almost 100 ex-vegans to recover and heal, I’ve witnessed the extreme damage up close. All the misinformation about our diet is the largest health problem we have faced in our history, and that is why I keep on writing these free articles, trying to set things right and hopefully helping some people to better health and a longer, more happy and fulfilling life.
And caffeine? That is vile. Check my article “Caffeine is a Defense Chemical and a Potent Poison — Do Not Neglect Accumulated Damage” for more information on all the damage caused by this toxic compound.
Do You Need Extra Protein?
“Most American adults don’t need more protein because they get their recommended daily intake, which is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, through diets.”
No, you frikkin’ retards. 0.8 grams is the absolute minimum if you sit on your arse the whole day and if you actually get fully bioavailable protein, as in all your protein from animal-based sources. Almost no people get their protein from such high-quality sources today.
Instead, people should aim for 1.2 to 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight a day, depending on their activity level and the quality of their protein sources.
Keep in mind that any “plant-based protein” is not chemically compatible with human physiology and also bound to fiber and antinutrients. If lucky, you might absorb 50 to 75% of that protein, and then it will still be low on some crucial amino acids as all plant-based proteins are incomplete, which means that you still require even more protein to make up for the gaps.
In other words, going with 0.8 grams for a 70 kg male would be 56 grams a day. If that person were to consume most plant based sources, only 30 grams would be absorbed and he would still need more to make up for missing amino acids. So, in reality, he would need to consume about 90 to 100 grams a day to actually get 56 usable grams. That would be 1.3 grams per kg/bw to reach the absolute minimum of 0.8 g/bw. However, he will still need more if he actually moves a muscle. And even if he manages to get enough protein every now and then as in at least 120 grams a day from low-quality plant sources, there is still almost zero nutrients in plants, leading to severe nutrient deficiencies, especially in fats and fat soluble vitamins, and not to forget, an extremely large toxic load due to all the defense chemicals, antinutrients, heavy metals and pesticide residues. Now, you know why vegans wither away and look like rotting zombies. They’re a malnourished and toxic mess.

“So, is protein water worth a try? It’s really up to you, said Hunnes. I wouldn’t spend my hard-earned money on it when I can get plenty of protein from food and free water from my faucet.”
Yeah, just make sure to filter that water or better yet, use a distiller, as tap water is extremely contaminated. And yes, pre-bottled crap will always be a lot more expensive, and of lesser quality, than any food or even a high-quality protein powder. And with a high-quality protein powder you can make your own “protein water” or simply a “protein shake.”
