Whole Food (Meat Dairy) Even when cooked,whole foods contain dead microbial DNA and cellular debris that act as training manuals for your immune system.This is called the Microbiota accessible carbohydrate (MAC) environment.

4.5
In dairy, specifically, proteins are held in micelles tiny "bubbles" that require specific enzymes to pop.This ensures a slow,drip-feed of amino acids.

4.6
The high heat,high pressure extraction (spray-drying) creates a sterilized,dead substance.When this enters the gut, it doesn't interact with the microbiome it bypasses it.Because there is no cellular structure (no cell walls to break down),

4.7
the protein hits the small intestine instantly.This causes Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) because the bacteria in the upper gut get a sugar rush of amino acids they were never meant to access.

4.8
To digest a piece of steak or a bowl of ancient grains, the body must spend 20-30% of the energy of that food just to break it down. This is called the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF).

4.9
This process keeps the mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells) healthy by forcing them to produce energy for digestion.
Because it is pre digested or liquid, the TEF is near zero.The energy enters the blood without the metabolic work.

5.0
Biologically, this leads to Mitochondrial Laziness.
Your cells get flooded with fuel but don't have to exercise to get it,leading to the leak of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which are basically sparks that damage your DNA.

5.1
When you eat meat, the amino acids are released over 5 8 hours. The RNA "translators" work at a steady, rhythmic pace which is natural same with milk and other natural soruce of protein

5.2
With powder, the blood amino acid levels peak in 30 minutes.This creates a translation bottleneck.The mRNA cannot keep up with the volume of amino acids.

5.3
When the body cannot use the amino acids fast enough, it has to strip the nitrogen off them (deamination) to turn them into urea.This creates a massive spike in Ammonia in the blood
Ammonia is a neurotoxin.Our ancestors never had Ammonia Spikes from food they only had steady

5.4
nitrogen flow.This industrial spike can cause brain fog and chronic lowlevel stress on the central nervous system.
This is a deep layer biological reality that Big Food ignores. Whole foods (meat and dairy) are Glycosylated.

5.5
They are complex sugar chains attached to proteins. They act as ID Tags for your immune system.
During industrial processing, these ID Tags are stripped off or mutated (a process called Advanced Glycation End products or AGEs).

5.6
When your immune system sees a naked or mutated protein from a powder,it doesn't recognize it as food. It may treat it as a foreign invader. This triggers a low grade cytokine (inflammatory) response

5.7
Over years, this molecular mimicry can lead to autoimmune issues where the body starts attacking its own tissues because it has been "trained" by industrial powders to attack unrecognizable proteins.
