Why Diets Disagree on Whey Protein
Carnivore classifies whey protein as Allowed because it evaluates foods by whether the food comes from an animal. Raw-Food, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food has been heated above ~118°F (48°C). Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 12 diets classify whey protein as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
