you've just triggered my curiosity *miao*
i've always thought that whey, just like other proteins, helps the body to repair / build tissues but at a faster rate. that was until i found this:

Therapeutic applications of whey protein.
Marshall K.
Whey, a protein complex derived from milk, is being touted as a functional food with a number of health benefits. The biological components of whey, including lactoferrin, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, glycomacropeptide, and immunoglobulins, demonstrate a range of immune-enhancing properties. In addition, whey has the ability to act as an antioxidant, antihypertensive, antitumor, hypolipidemic, antiviral, antibacterial, and chelating agent. The primary mechanism by which whey is thought to exert its effects is by intracellular conversion of the amino acid cysteine to glutathione, a potent intracellular antioxidant. A number of clinical trials have successfully been performed using whey in the treatment of cancer, HIV, hepatitis B, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and as an antimicrobial agent. Whey protein has also exhibited benefit in the arena of exercise performance and enhancement.
hopefully i can find an article about pasteurized milk as well

I have plenty of whey. My whole family is drinking whey, my father, mother, wife, daughter, brother and sister. I import 1 ton of whey protein in every 2 months.
bro, where did u get your whey supply? can you get them from the normal supermarkets? roughly how much is the cost?

The article originally posted isn't only about HL milk but all pasteurized milk in general. Powdered milk is pasteurized as well.
I think this has something to do with the topic title
