whey protein in hot water denatures protein

[adelphi]

true or false

and would the same logic goes for a hardboiled egg then? = protein destroyed?

How hot is the water?

I'm going to guess false.

Otherwise all of the protein you ever eat would be destroyed, since your internal body temperature is 98.6 degrees F.

Temperatures over 140F can denature protein.

I think whey is fine, since AFAIK Designer Protein advertises that you can build their stuff into muffins.

while the protein is denatured, its components are still intact. You don't eat protein to absorb a bunch of amino acids folded just so. You eat them to digest them down to individual amino acids for your body to use to make its own proteins.
