Hemp seeds are remarkable, having all your essential amino acids and fibre and everything. It's protein is very special. I've been a big fan of hemp protein for a long time but I'm having trouble trying to sift through all the controversy between hemp and soy. Some places say soy is great for you, some say it will kill you. Some say things like this:
"One of the common arguments against hemp is that soy has a much higher total protein count then hemp seeds. But hemp seed protein is free of the tryspin inhibitors which block protein absorption that is found in abundance in soy. Hemp protein is also free of oligosaccharides found in soy, which cause stomach upset and gas." (from this page: http://www.hempfood.ca/high-protein-food.ihtml )
but other pages, like this one: http://www.enerex.ca/articles/soy_pr...mp_protein.htm
argue that soy is actually more complete.
this is the product I use, and I can say I'm overwhelmingly impressed by it: http://www.ruthshempfoods.com/protein/hemp_protein.html
They also point out that it's completely raw and not chemically processed like MOST soy products.
I'm trying to find out what I should be doing with myself, if I should be taking soy as well as hemp, and if so, WHAT type of soy product. I'm really not into the whole idea I've been told (by people who seem to know what they're doing) about how soy is overwhelmingly chemically produced, and has all these other elements in it that prevent you from accessing the nutrients, and it actually robs your body of other nutrients, blar blar, I want to find out the truth
Thank you
