does whey spike insulin?
guys, i was just thinking if the usual whey isolate that we are consuming spike insulin at all? i'm refering to the pure whey..just protein alone..without any added dextrose or malto...being that they have artificial sweeteners...does they spike insulin at all?

Why would it? Being that it's pure protein and no carbs (or very low) I don't see why it would. Usually you would consume this w/either carbs or fats, so you'd either get the spike or a bit of one from the carbs consumed with it, or you'll use fat which will further slow the digestion of it.

It is my understanding that simple carbs are what spikes insulin . Not protein. Protein is why you want to spike your insulin.

If you have a normal metabolism, then whey should not seriously effect your blood sugar levels. If you have consistent signs of hypo or hyper glycemia, make an appointment with a registered dietician to determine how you should be eating.

Apparently whey isolate creates a small insulin spike (not enough for pwo though I'm sure).

i see..because i understand they have sweeterners in them..so i thought that might cause some insulin spike..

i may have missed this but does splenda significantly spike insulin levels or not?

Back to the topic tho.Whey does spike insulin levels.I read a study (when i find it i'll post it)... a PWO containing 50gr whey+50gr dex illicited the equivalent insulin spike of 75gr dextrose alone.I don't recall the mechanism tru which the spike occurs... but it may be because of whey rapid absorption.The rapid of absorption and the consequent convertion of the amino acids to glucose (by the liver) may be the reason.
