I'm sorry, but dietary cholesterol has virtually no affect on the bodies cholesterol levels, and modern science supports this. Like most (mis)information, this "dietary cholesterol bad" myth was probably instituted by a study sponsored by the cereal/grain companies or something back in the 70's or 80's. Just like the whole "fat is bad" fad that took off during the 80's when low/no-fat everything came out. What happened next? Add in the processed fructose (corn syrup). Why corn syrup? Because corn is/was subsidized the US Govt (our tax dollars) and they put a tariff on imported sugar cane, making corn syrup the de'facto sweetener in American processed food. And why did that "fat is bad" thing take off? Because companies used the absolute cheapest forms of fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils). And what's cheaper than hydrogenated fats and that can be flown into foods under the radar? Processed fructose.

My vanilla almond has 2g if fat and 60mg cholesterol in one serving with water. I say creamy because it does already contain milk, so it isn't watery or chalky like other brands.

Hello Ibrahim,40mg is on par with most other protein brands, and some organic whey proteins have cholesterol as high as 50-60mg per serving. When you see protein brands with lower cholesterol numbers it is usually because they contain isolates and/or have been over processed.Thanks for the question.

No worries there buddy. It's just like going to the store and buying a bag of chips, it's always half way filled. It's just the way these supplements are made, all of them form pills down to protein supplements. You should be looking at about 31.2oz at about 885g about a net way of 1.95lbs. It's more then enough to last you a month depending on your goals and how many grams of protien you are intaking daily per pound of body weight. And for the price your paying for, you can't beat it :) Your Good, no need to contact them.

Do not listen to the above comment, I am in medical school. Yes dietary cholesterol affects your cholesterol levels. But Cholesterol has many important functions, hormones, phospholipid bilayers of cells, etc. And also remember there are different kinds of lipids, some kinds are good for you. And there is good cholesterol HDL and bad cholesterol LDL. But no this product does not contain too much cholesterol. This product is top notch and doesn't use useless amino acids (amino spiking) to falsify the amount of protein in there product. I. Ayon is wrong, please do not listen to him...

What I am trying to ask is whether it is healthy enough to consume a product which has 10% cholesterol 4-5 times a week?

The dietary information on the label is for 1 or 2 scoops, so base your decision on that and your personal needs. I always use one whole scoop.

NOT milk chocolste! I could not find a percent number on the package, but it is at least 70%, maybe higher.

No this is for the creamy version. It has 2.5 g of sat fat or 12 percent. Thanks, Nick

Mary: There is a scoop included (33 grams) which is considered a single serving upon which all of the nutritional information is based. I really enjoy it: it's clean, satisfying, eco-friendly packaging, lactose-free and a superior product, in my opinion, which is never humble. I've tried many other products and have yet to find one I like better. The 33g portion mixes up smooth, but with body and a luxurious mouth-feel, so you don't feel hungry or deprived, or disappointed by the watery texture. I also choose to bump mine up using Almond Milk instead of dairy, and fresh fruit makes it a true treat! Hope that is helpful!

I have the Garden Of Life Perfect Food Raw (Organic) and it's got 30 servings, but it's not the chocolate. I put just a pinch of stevia in it to sweeten it just a little. It's great after a workout!!!

It seems like the nutrition information printed on this product's label is completely off -- for example, my label says that a 13-gram serving of the powder contains 225 grams of cholesterol, which makes no sense (it doesn't even make sense if you change the grams to mg).However, I would have no reason to believe that this powder is nutritionally any different from regular whole milk, if diluted properly.
