Glutamine and Cancer - avoid glutamine in your smoothie protein powder.

We love to add protein powders in smoothies to help with hair, skin, nails, bones, and Neuro transmitters.

Cancer cells and tumors use L glutamine to grow. Adding a protein powder that contains L glutamine may help feed cancer cells. When you choose a protein powder read the ingredients label to make sure that L glutamine has not been added to the protein powder.

Restricting L glutamine in foods may help chemotherapy treatments work better. Notice I said restricting, you cannot avoid L glutamine.
