- leoh 13y agoFrom the article: "The resulting whey is roughly as acidic as orange juice. It’s almost entirely made up of water... and a very small amount of proteins."
- gcb0 13y agohow does water and sugar gets acid?
- dragonwriter 13y ago> how does water and sugar gets acid? Yogurt (which is what the whey is the result of straining) is not just water and sugar, it contains a number of other things -- notably, lactic acid.
- gcb0 13y agomy confusion was mostly that the article claim the residue solution is pretty much water and sugar
- tptacek 13y agoMilk + Lactobacillus = Yogurt, Water, Acid
- mbreese 13y agoDifferent kind of whey... (from the article) the whey used in protein supplements is sweet whey from cheese production.
