#Wheyprotein

[reasonsforhope]

"Scientists have developed a way to dramatically reduce the cost of recycling certain electronic waste by using whey protein.

Their method allows for the easy recovery of gold from circuit boards at a cost of energy and materials amounting to 50 times less than the price of the gold they recover—these are the numbers that big business likes to see.

Indeed, the potential for scalability depends on this sort of cost savings, something traditional e-waste recycling methods just can’t achieve.

Professor Raffaele Mezzenga from ETH Zurich has found that whey protein, a byproduct of dairy manufacturing, can be used to make sponges that attract trace amounts of ionized gold.

Electronic waste contains a variety of valuable metals, including copper, cobalt, and gold. Despite gold’s public persona as being either money or jewelry, thousands of ounces of gold are used in electronics every year for its exceptional conductive properties.

Mezzenga’s colleague Mohammad Peydayesh first “denatured whey proteins under acidic conditions and high temperatures, so that they aggregated into protein nanofibrils in a gel,” writes the ETH Zurich press. “The scientists then dried the gel, creating a sponge out of these protein fibrils.”

The next step was extracting the gold: done by tossing 20 salvaged motherboards into an acid bath until the metals had dissolved into ionized compounds that the sponge began attracting.

Removing the sponge, a heat treatment caused the gold ions to aggregate into 22-carat gold flakes which could be easily removed.

“The fact I love the most is that we’re using a food industry byproduct to obtain gold from electronic waste,” Mezzenga says. In a very real sense, he observes, the method transforms two waste products into gold. “You can’t get much more sustainable than that!” ...

However the real dollar value comes from the bottom line—which was 50 times more than the cost of energy and source materials. Because of this, the scientists have every intention of bringing the technology to the market as quickly as possible while also desiring to see if the protein fibril sponge can be made of other food waste byproducts.

E-waste is a quickly growing burden in global landfills, and recycling it requires extremely energy-intensive machinery that many recycling facilities do not possess.

The environmental value of the minerals contained within most e-waste comes not only from preventing the hundreds of years it takes for them to break down in the soil, but also from the reduction in demand from new mining operations which can, though not always, significantly degrade the environments they are located in.

[Note: Absolutely massive understatement, mining is incredibly destructive to ecosystems. Mining is also incredibly toxic to human health and a major cause of conflict, displacement, and slavery globally.]

Other countries are trying to incentivize the recycling of e-waste, and are using gold to do so. In 2022, GNN reported that the British Royal Mint launched an electronically traded fund (ETF) with each share representing the value of gold recovered from e-waste as a way for investors to diversify into gold in a way that doesn’t support environmentally damaging mining.

The breakthrough is reminiscent of that old fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin who can spin straw into gold. All that these modern-day, real-life alchemists are doing differently is using dairy and circuit boards rather than straw."

Okay question for protein whey users. Maybe you can help me out

Which one would be more likely to be used in an smoothie ?

It WAS a vanilla smoothie but I can see she used like vanilla stevia drops in it so I don’t know if she would use vanilla flavoured protein in it as well.

It had a very very creamy and smooth texture but all that was put in it was water and ice. So I don’t know which one would give it that flavour and consistency

It tasted delicious but it wasn’t heavy , just filling , and it was sweet but not the type of overwhelming sweet you feel in your throat.

I know both if these brands are used. I just don’t know which one would be more likely in the drink I got.

How are they still getting away with this crap? Please stop acting like they don't know what they are doing already!

Já deve ter escutado que incha ou dá espinha também, esses casos só acontecem em quem tem intolerância a lactose ou alergia a proteína do leite.

O whey prorein nada mais é que a proteína do soro do leite, por ser um dos suplementos mais famosos que existem, foi se criando vários argumentos supervalorizando o whey e vários argumentos desvalorizando também.

Proteína é o macronutirente responsável pela recuperação muscular, porém muitos atletas, praticamentes de atividade física, pessoas idosas, pessoas com o dia a dia muito atarefado, pessoas com alguma necessidade específica, não conseguem atingir a recomendação diária de proteína que precisava no dia, cada um por seu motivo específico

e aí que o whey protein ou os outros suplementos proteicos entram em cena, para suprir a necessidade que não foi totalmente preenchida somente com a alimentação.

Então, ele não funciona como algo milagroso que faz você ganhar massa muscular ao tomá-lo, também não te faz engordar dessa forma, ele é apenas uma fonte de proteína em pó, proteína de fácil ingestão, bem parecido com leite em pó desnatado por sinal, só que com menos carboidrato e mais bem filtrado e concentrado.

O whey também não chaga nem perto de ser um ester0ide an4bolizante.

Você sabia o que era Whey protein ?
