Whey Protein Shake vs Actual Food

[falco21]

I just referenced a study found in medical journals that show how protein shakes can in fact be "bad" for you as opposed to eating real food. Obviously, the conlcusion is that substituting protein powder for real food can't be something beneficial, according to that study. If you are so keen on finding this answer, then research it yourself and read LOL You want everyone else to show you studies, why can't you go read them on your own?

Ya I have access to a university medical article database as well. I know I am coming off as abrasive however I am just tired of people on here spewing out information that they don't have solid facts to back up with. I would say well over 90% of people on the forum want to say never substitute food for shakes however NO ONE can give a definitive reason as to why. People can just be perpetuating long existing norms that could in fact be completely false.

That's the answer for EVERYTHING medical. You are beating a dead horse that NO ONE has a definitive answer for. This is an ongoing debate that will last for centuries. Some will say go for it, while others will say no. Studies will show it is not beneficial for you, while others will say it is. The same goes for anything revolved around studies. From medical to the reasons criminals commit crimes. Studies show there is a link with genes and criime during childhood, while criminologists will show you there is no link with genes and have studies to prove it. So who's right?

There is no definitive answer and there never will be. You do what you feel is right. If you don't want to eat regular whole food, then don't. If you don't want to touch artificial sweetener's, then don't. No one is stopping you nor can give you a proven answer as to why. There will always be a counter to that proof that in fact, proves the polar opposite.

Thats interesting as no-one including yourself has provided any substantial evidence with regards to a counter argument as to why it is so much more beneficial to eat food vs drink in a shake. If you just live your life in blissful ignorance then I could see your point. Really if you just take everything your told at face value and never critically analyse the reason as to why a piece of information is being passed on then yes you could just assume that their is a reason to take in food instead of shakes. However this type of thinking has passed on useless knowledge in the past and it will continue to do so in the future. For example how long did people just accept it was extremely beneficial to consume a post workout shake immediately after a workout until it was more or less proven that it did not make much of a difference at all when you consumed a shake.
