I've read on this group that you shouldn't use protein powders especially ion exchange whey. I wonder if significant amounts of tyrosine really would be created in processing protein powders - maybe ion exchange but what about Cross-Flow Microfiltration Whey Protein? That processing shouldn't be harsh enough to cause any chemical breakdown. You wouldn't think that it would be any worse than cottage cheese, which is permissable. I wonder where I could find out for sure?
