I think rice protein is fine. I have nothing against rice protein as compared to whey/casein. I am in agreement with Brian when he states in his post that the “casein/cancer” connection that the China Study points to, was “connected” to those that took in unrealistic amounts of casein/dairy. So my advice to people is to use a protein powder with rice protein or hemp protein, or if you use a casein powder, don’t take in “too much.” (again, “too much” appears to be an insane amount that you have to go out of your way to ingest)

Also, ideally if a person uses a protein powder that contains casein/whey, it would come from grass fed cows. But those powders are very expensive, so I guess it depends on the financial situation of the person.

Then again, IDEALLY, IDEALLY, a person would consume whole foods with each feeding and this would all be a moot point. However, in order for me to be able to eat as much as I want to/need to, it would be pretty difficult w/o including a powder. So for now, I am going to continue to include powders in my overall plan, but be sure to do so at a very small percentage of my overall calorie intake.

This reply is more than you asked for…sorry. But it may answer your question, and then some for anyone else that is curious on my thoughts.
