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.

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.

You were seriously unwilling to Google this information? 16grams per serving for the Chocolate. Warrior Food isn't for you though. You need The Lame-Lazy-Lethargic Food.

I was using 2 tblsp a day spread out. One in the morning with my oatmeal and one with my protein shake. Remember you need fat in your diet and 1.5g of fat is nothing. This cacao is all natural and unsweetened it's a good fat.

Hi Susan- It is 55% cocoa content. They really are delicious! I do like very dark chocolate- but I like these much better then milk chocolate. Hope this helps. :)

As i have finished the package already, not sure. However, you can just look at the nutrition label on the back. Go to their website, and you can look it up. Or other websites that sell it may have the label you can view the picture of it. Great product though. Price/gram of high quality, organic whey...this is your best bet. I reviewed at least a dozen other organic whey products before choosing this one. I just wish they sold a quantity larger than 2lbs to help bring down the price/gram. Good luck

My bag was mostly chocolate; you could tell just by the size of the candies. Biting in half and eye-balling it, I'd guess about 75-80% chocolate. I'd prefer a nice 50/50 balance, myself, but to get that, you pay a higher price. Even so, the quality bean is strong enough to hold its own and they are delicious. But if I had my druthers, I'd choose a better brand.

None, this is a vegan product. Cholesterol only occurs in animal foods and this is a plant based protein.

No. I have asked the company many times, as they claim this is CLEAN protein in all of their marketing. Management at BulkSupplements is obviously not interested in the long term health of the consumer. I certainly look on milk and yogurt products for assurance of not being treated with growth hormones....and the same goes for any protein supplement which is 100% derived from dairy. Take a look at Jay Robb protein as a healthier alternative.

The packaging has changed since I purchased it in 2011, but it says palm oil. There is cholesterol, but not in dairy form. I would check on palm oil if you are on a restricted diet.

I cannot give you an educated answer. Only that my nutritionist highly approves of this chocolate and whenever I order it for myself I send an identical order to her.

Baker's chocolate, eaten directly, is my favorite (and almost only) dessert. My system is to take a bite of the unsweetened and a bite of semi-sweet together, making a net 76% cacao total. Of course one can easily vary the percentage to one's personal taste. On special occasions I take a tiny sip of Grand Marnier with each bite. In my opinion there is no chocolate that is better (and you can't beat the price). Also of importance to me is the very very small ingredients list.

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.

I didn't buy ensure. I bought the Equate brand for dieting. So I really can't answer your question. However, I did like the flavor of vanilla the best, but the chocolate was good too.

7g, sat fat = 2.5g, trans fat = 0 other fats 4.5g total calories 100 calories from fat 60 (kind of high it seems, but since it is ORGANIC nut based it is to be expected.) And they taste great. Chocolate after taste with some coconut taste also stand out the most. I have no idea how a person would not like the taste of these bars. It does not have HFCS nor plain sugar that may make its taste different I guess. Sweetning is done with organic agave nectar.

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.
