> Is there something special about whey protein powder that soy, rice, or hemp protein wouldn't also provide?
The proportions of amino acids in the whole substances differ, and in cheese production, the removal of the curds changes the relative concentrations of what is left. If you compare labels on e.g. soya protein and whey protein, you'll see the proportions of the aminos differ somewhat. If the dairy source aspect is of concern, then I think soya is next best. I don't think there's any cysteine in soya protein, if I recall correctly.
