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.

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.

It tastes good. Try it with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, very delicious. You do know vibrant health has this very same green drink IN a protein powder? The chocolate one is amazing.

I wondered the same thing. I buy this dark chocolate at my grocery store and it has 5g of sugar for the same serving size.

The 2 pound container says 28 servings. I've never actually scooped it all out at once to see, but I would bet it's about correct. I love this product and feel it is a good quality. I like the vanilla and the chocolate.

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

I love anything chocolate, but bought my first case in vanilla, and was not at all disappointed ... tastes great, and I use it in oatmeal, and any other cereal, also I will the chocolate soon. BWT I'm type 2 diabetic, and so far have no ill side affects probably because only 1 gram sugar.

The way you phrased your question ("your" dark chocolate), it sounds like you are asking the manufacturer. I recommend you contact http://us.greenandblacks.com/ to ask them about the different sugar content in their 85% cacao bars.

The chocolate is 160 calories per scoop if using water. If using milk you need to add the calories from the milk with the pure protein. Make sure you have a shaker when using this product. I use this product after a long run and it keeps me full afterwards.

D3 has been alleged to be more highly absorbed into the system and thus more effective. Something to do with its chemical chains and how it binds and is synthesized within the body. My fairly in-depth research has found the Nutrigold is the "purest" of the major brands (less inactive ingredients, and higher quality active ingredients). I am not a medical/chemical professional, so this response does not come with the credibility of a nutritionist or bio-chemist.

Cho-lest-off is a wonderful product. I have used it since 2006. In 2006 I went on a statin (Lovastatin). After a few months I began having muscle pain and got off of it. With the Statin total cholesterol was 165 down from 220. I switched to Cholestoff and after two months I had my cholesterol measured again. The results were total cholesterol=165, LDL =76, just as good as the statin and no side effects. Hugh O.
