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.

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

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.

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.

I've gained about 12 pounds. I suggest the chocolate flavor over the Vanilla and mix it in 18oz of WHOLE milk. Drink it twice a day (what also helped me was drinking ensure plus in between). Hope this helps you gain weight!

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 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!

True...but for an occasional treat...for someone who has a healthy lifestyle it's OK. I'm nearly 60 and have great heart/cholesterol levels. Lifestyle is the key, not one product.

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.

That's a good question. I don't often read about cholesterol because the rest of my diet is so low fat. My own belief is that some cholesterol is good, but it depends on the source of it.

You can check any nutritional information at this website: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/about-time/whey-protein-isolate. It is pretty accurate as far as I can tell. Although, when I look at the labels, both the vanilla and the chocolate say 100 calories. It is a minor discrepancy. I read the ingredients and for chocolate they are: Cold processed ultra microfiltered whey isolate, cocoa, natural flavors, xanthan gum, stevia. The vanilla is the same minus the cocoa. Here is my opinion; you aren't going to find many other protein powders that are as clean as this brand. The ingredients are minimal, the stevia is much better than the sugar(substitute?) they use in something like slim-fast and it is predominantly chemical free. The chocolate tastes amazing and the vanilla is just so-so. The trick is to use unsweetened almond milk in it. Do not use water. I really hope this helped!

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.

I guess that would be a matter of personal taste. I'm a chocolate lover, but prefer the vanilla Whey Isolate. It also depends on how you plan to drink it. I make a smoothie; blending 8 oz. natural yogurt, 1 banana (or equivilant amount melon), 2 TBSP peanut butter, 2 TBSP wheat germ, 1 TBSP honey, and 2 scoops Whey Isolate - within 30 minutes of my workout. (I work out 3 days a week.) On off days I blend only the yogurt, wheat germ and 1 scoop Isolate. In an emergency, the vanilla ain't too bad mixed with cold water.
