WHO KNEW? Whey to Go!
According to Keith Block, MD, whey has benefits beyond just helping to keep weight on. It can also help carry glutathione into your cells. Why should that make you deliriously happy? Because studies show that glutathione protects healthy cells from adverse effects, while also making cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy. Neat.
