If a whey powder is 80% protein by weight. What makes up the last 20% except for the few carbs, from sweetener and flavour?

growth hormone and synthol.

Usually in WPC you've got 2-3 grams of fat & 2-3 grams of carbs.

The rest is carbs (lactose), fat, mosture, ash (a.k.a. minerals), artificial flavors, additives and presevatives. 

The highest concentrated whey protein isolate commercially available is WPI-97 which is 97% protein by weight. I'm aware of no protein on store shelves that uses only WPI-97 entirely, they blend it with less concentrated sources to reduce costs. Davisco Foods makes most of the WPI-97 sold to supplement companies. http://www.daviscofoods.com
