2005 International Whey Conference Draws Leading Researchers and Food and Beverage Experts Worldwide
Elmhurst, Il., October 4, 2005 - "Whey protein is a good tasting, versatile and highly functional ingredient: essential benefits to food and beverage manufacturers as they create the nutritious, but still delicious products, consumers are demanding. It's a food marketers dream come true: Great flavor, nutrition, versatility and functionality," said James J. Page, International Whey Conference Chairman.
"The truth is, whey protein is in every way a superior protein. It contains all of the essential amino acids our bodies need for good health. It has the highest biological value of any protein - higher than eggs and certainly higher than any vegetable-based protein. Plus, whey appears to preserve lean muscle mass, lower blood pressure and enhance immunity," he added. The benefits of whey was the focus of the world's top dairy researchers and processors as they came together with the country's leading nutrition professionals, and food and beverage marketers to attend the International Whey Conference. IWC had the largest number of participants ever with over 500 attendees from 27 countries.
