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 does list cholesterol. Under "amount per serving" is shows 0g. Under "%DV" it shows 0%. Even though there not any in this product, it is nice they addressed the issue on the label.I love this stuff, I am 60 years old and my wife is 57. We went for plaque buildup test (its kind of like an MRI). Hers was 0% and mine was 3%, we have been using this product for a while and I believe it really helps .

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?

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.

This is my preferred Omega 3 product. Nutrigold Triple Strength Omega-3 Gold (1,060 mg Omega-3s per softgel), 1250 mg. For more information read this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1YY4IVAK5MBPK/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004O2I9JO&nodeID;=3760901&store;=hpc

I find that this is excellent chocolate for baking with a deeper chocalatey taste. Sorry, but as far as antioxidants, I can't answer that question.

The box shows a statement saying there is 50 per cent cocoa solids in the dark chocolate along with the other ingredients. I'm not sure if this is the info you are looking for, but I can tell you this is the 4th year in a row I have purchased this item. Go for it!

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.

The label says there is LESS THAN 1% of sucralose and the healthy ingredients far outweigh the "junk". My husband is diabetic and had an open heel wound that would not close for six months sending his blood sugars even higher. A nurse friend told me about Premier Protein, the doctor approved the product and after one month the wound finally closed. If you can tolerate sugar, go for Boost or Ensure!

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...

I am no expert......so take what I say with caution. I believe all chocolate contains some level of cadmium. As to the level, whether safe or unsafe, you have to ask the producer or have it tested yourself.

That frustrates me too. Why mess up a otherwise great product? Practically everything is using this crap now. I think I will try the Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz next. But the shipping is killing my pockets. I wish I could get it locally.

My uneducated guess? The cholesterol comes from the flavoring. The protein you linked is unflavored and probably tastes horrible.

Not really. It depends on what else you're eating and how physically active you are. If you are eating a lot of foods that are high in cholesterol, then you need to be concerned. If you are consuming massive amounts of whey protein on a daily basis and not being physically active, there is cause for concern. I am not a doctor and I don't know your personal health situation. For me, after a year of using organic whey protein, my bad cholesterol has gone done and my good cholesterol is up. I also do hard physical work every day and watch my diet carefully. My son had to have his bodyfat checked for wrestling, so I had mine taken for the fun of it, and it was 10%. Hope this helps you. Not really.
