Thank you so much for asking this question Denise,

Dr. Carney is spending new years day hanging out in the kitchen doing cooking experiments. That is one of her favorite activities. I just read her your question. Her response was that the question is a good question that should be asked and deserves to be answered. The short answer is that all powdered supplements are processed foods. 

She stated the following: 

Plant protein does not harm the kidneys the way that animal proteins do.

Excess calories are the real issue. Pea protein is concentrated calories. Excess calories are the issue. Lifespan is shortened by excess calories. For some people, excess calories may exacerbate some other conditions. 

We do have a blog post that you might find interesting about food processing:
