anyone know of any articles on whey with water vs milk

[pumpingiron]

i see this argued all the time, personally i drink mine with water just because everyone tells me to i don't know the exact reasoning

some people say the fat in the milk slows down digestion and now people are telling me mucus from the milk is slowing it down or the casein in the milk

i'd like to see a legit article that actually explains this so i can actually understand it

I think it would be more of what your personal preferences are water or milk and if you really care about the extra calories and fat.
Bodybuilders have known for years that milk contains some of the best muscle building proteins. The proteins in milk consist of two main fraction: Casein (80% of the total protein fraction) and whey (20% of the total protein fraction).

I tend to prefer milk or an equivalent because it makes the drink taste richer/creamier - like a milkshake.

I usually use Smart Balance Lactose/Fat free.
but I will also use soymilk, and I'd like to try rice milk.

but I'd like to here other's experience with other liquids besides just water or milk.

The reason you purchase a high quality whey isolate is because the LACTOSE (milk sugar) has been removed. Most people have lots of trouble with digesting lactose. And if you can't digest it, the bacteria in your colon ferment it (producing gas and potential malabsorption of the protein). By adding MILK to your whey isolate, you're adding the lactose back to the mix. That's defeating the entire purpose of purchasing an expensive whey isolate.

so mixing whey with milk doesn't actually effecth the digestion time?
say it was just a concentrate or blend, because you obviously want to digest it as fast as possible post workout

It does affect digestion time. Drink your post workout shake with water.
I'd suggest you cut out dairy entirely if you cannot tolerate the lactose.

A lot of people are allergic to milk but don't realize it. I get these nasty mood swings when I drink or eat dairy and I get acne everywhere.

i have no problems with lactose i just can't for the life of me find out the exact reason why milk slows down digestion, when i tell someone to drink their post workout shake with water i'd like to be able to explain to them why

Most people can handle lactose just fine,

In fact I've never met anyone who had a problem with it.

Use milk as a great cheap protein source.
Low GI carb also.

Whey is one of two major proteins found in cow's milk, the other being casein. About 20 percent of milk protein is whey. Whey is considered superior to most other protein sources because of its digestibility, bioavailability (the ease with which the body uses it), and high concentrations of such proven muscle builders branched-chain amino acids and glutamine. From a practical point of view, it mixes more easily than others, and doesn't seem to cause the bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort that so many other protein sources are known for. So the term Isolate whey means just that it has undergone a process using a "wash" which might be alcohol, water or ionization to isolate the whey protein from carbohydrates and fats to make it a pure whey.

dont forget the sugar in milk for those concerned with carb intake.
