Here are some exact quotes for the preprint of the whitepaper:

- "caution should be used when recommending any type of collagen

-based protein supplement" (example: the products some call

"bullets" are made almost entirely with collagen)

- "The highest quality protein products are made of whey protein"

- "product's amino acid score should be the first priority"

- "PDCAAS score . . . superior method for the evaluation of protein quality"

- "The PDCAAS score indicates the overall quality of a protein."

- "The PDCAAS score indicates the body's ability to use that

product for protein synthesis."

- "The loss of lean body mass can occur despite meeting a

daily oral intake protein goal, in the presence of IAA

(indispensable amino acid) deficiency."

- " . . . whey concentrates can contain varying amounts of lactose . . .

whey protein isolates are lactose free"
