What is the Net Protein Value (NPV)?
The Net Protein Value (NPV) represents the amount of a dietary protein source which is effectively absorbed and usable by humans when combined with processed sugar, carbohydrates and artificial sweeteners. Protein generates growth hormone which stimulates muscle growth and strengthens the immune system. Sugar inhibits growth hormone which prevents muscle growth and weakens the immune system. A Gram of Sugar Neutralizes a Gram of Protein. Therefore . . . If a product has as much sugar as protein it has a Net Protein Value (NPV) of ZERO. What You Need to Know About “Junk Protein” Don’t be fooled by protein powders, shakes and meal replacement products. There are many “diet” drinks, “energy drinks”, “protein fortified” shakes, meal replacement bars and bodybuilding “protein powders” on the market that contain processed sugar and artificial sweeteners that are counter-productive to good health.
