In this video, we’re going to talk about the worst ingredient found in many protein powders: maltodextrin.
This dangerous ingredient increases acne, bloating, gut inflammation, mental irritability, anxiety, and insomnia. It’s highly addictive because it increases dopamine.
Maltodextrin promotes acid in your mouth, which increases cavities, and it spikes blood sugar more than sugar! If you consume it repeatedly, it can cause belly fat, high cholesterol, fatty liver, and other health problems.
Maltodextrin is often one of the first ingredients in many protein powder products, which means it makes up most of the product. It’s made of inedible dent corn that’s ground and treated with chemicals. It’s typically heated, pressure-treated, decolorized, and deodorized.
After this process, you’re left with maltodextrin powder, which can then be used as a filler to add bulk to different products. Consuming maltodextrin powder has no benefit. It’s classified as a carbohydrate but acts as a sugar in the body.
The glycemic index tells you how much an ingredient will spike your blood sugar. Maltodextrin has a glycemic index between 105 and 185, which is higher than glucose and table sugar!
Many protein powders contain 50 grams of whey protein per serving combined with 253 grams of carbohydrates from maltodextrin. Your need for many vitamins and minerals increases when you consume this many carbs.
Ultra-processed foods like maltodextrin cause oxidation and inflammation in the body. Maltodextrin also causes significant insulin and blood sugar spikes. It may cause you to wake up groggy and have low blood sugar the day after consuming it. This will cause you to want more, creating a vicious cycle that eventually leads to insulin resistance.
To build muscle, you need exercise and protein, not high doses of refined sugar!

I was a bodybuilder back in the 80s and none of us used those kind of protein powders, but wow - I had no idea there were ingredients like that in there. The advice the guys I worked out with followed was from a Doc who promoted a low glycemic - high calorie diet, which made our workouts and muscle gain better. On that diet one could win competitions without needing steroids. I thought it was just what we were doing that made us so successful, but looks as if what we weren't doing may have had as much to do with it. Thanks for the info.

I crapped 6-8x a day blasting like a fire hydrant. Now, I have zero issues, visible abs, and poop a perfect 3-4 footer every morning. No gas, no bloating…nothing. Those protein powder drinks don’t bother me at all. I’m 52. Right now, I’m the same weight I was back in 11th grade football. 6’2 190. I’m in better shape overall now then by far.

Thank you Dr. Berg

It's not really a "filler". Or at least that's not how it is used. It's one of the several different compounds that the flavor industry uses as a CARRIER for their flavors. Which is why it's in 95% of foods on the shelf. Hope you see this Dr. Berg and look into it. Spray drying / dry blending use maltodextrin and CAPSUL as the 2 most common for powdered flavors. Liquid flavors use water, alcohol, propylene glycol. The easiest analogy is if you pour paint on grains of sugar, now you have colored sugar. The sugar (maltodextrin) carries the flavor so it doesn't degrade.

[@Drberg]

It has a few purposes: Maltodextrin is generally used as a thickener or filler to increase the volume of a processed food. It's also a preservative that increases the shelf life of packaged foods. It's inexpensive and easy to produce, so it's useful for thickening products such as instant puddings and gelatins, sauces, and salad dressings.

Fda approved. Food death admin.

Im so glad soneone is explaining and demystifying what these ingredients are. Maltodextrin: highly processed inedible corn. Thats what it should say on the label instead. Thank you

[@kareemahmed7028]

thank you dr.

[@dustbowlhammer7119]

What is scary, is how Maltodextrin is in almost any processed food out there. Salad dressing, baked goods, if you buy and eat it, it probably has it in there.

I found it in my deodorant…

[@markalexander1350]

Not all protein powders have maltodextrin. If you look, you can find grass fed, no maltodextrin, and no hormone whey protein.

[@Trollollolollol]

We're talking about weight gainer/mass gainer not regular protein powders

[@markalexander1350]

@@Trollollolollol Agree, and I fully realize the distinction, but with all due respect to Dr. Berg, he tends to paint a broad negative brush with "all" proteins, and I wanted to point out that today, with proper research, you can find good quality protein without maltodextrin, sugar, or growth hormones.

[@doejohn8674]

Yep, I bought some whey protein concentrate for the days when I don't reach my 1 g per kg of body weight in protein with meat, fish and eggs, but I don't take more than 10 or 20 g at most. Now I see that there is sunflower lecithin in it 🤔

Awesome explanation 🌴

Thanks! Feedback from our followers is always appreciated.

Nothing But Usual Dr. Berg. Pure knowledge

[@C.N.1]

⚠️ Cross-contamination from a lot of hand-me-down products, especially those that are processed in manufacturing facilities that process nuts, etc., are just not worth the risk! ⚠️ Have a wonderful day, everyone! 👊

[@tathagataroy9650]

I was reading about pesticides and toxins in protein powder , open yt and seeing dr berg uploaded this.

[@GoFishOffice]

This is good to know, you can find this ingredient in alot of foods!

[@teodorandrei1871]

Read carefully the title of the subject, as Dr. Berg speaks about mass gainer, not whey protein. Do not confuse things, you have a lot of studies on whey protein, and you can see for yourself if it is good or bad.

[@michaelwilliams9467]

It’s also in many whey protein powders. Also protein bars, supposed health/protein, snacks and bars, etc. sometimes just listed as natural flavors.

[@Ultra_Marathoner_Denis_Keane]

Dr Berg needs a big neon sign behind him like Joe Rogans 1

[@khush1894]

dr berg experience

[@khush1894]

sleep at night dr berg in the day, ALL DAY

[@Pa-we1lw]

I like his new set. It’s calming. I do miss his white board at times, though.

[@kristianspot2683]

I started to read every thing I buy to check the ingredients. I think it saves health in long term.
