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...

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

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?

I have used Baker's unsweetened chocolate for as long as I can remember. I have always bought it at the grocery store. Last month I noticed that the box looked the same, but there was only 4 ounces of chocolate instead of 8 for the same price. I was able to find the 8 ounce box on Amazon and that is why I bought it online. To answer your question, I don't know how healthy it is, but I think it IS the same ol' bitter formula we've become accustomed to.

Dear Johnathan, Thank you for your interest in BodyBoost Colostrum. Please know that we only sell the highest quality and most natural product available. The raw colostrum from each dairy undergoes a testing protocol to assure it is from the first milking, free of antibiotics, pesticides and Bst's. We do not own the dairy farms but only deal with farmers that have excellent farming practices and very healthy cows. We asked the farmers to certify that pesticides and antibiotics are not part of their animals food supply and as well as Bst's and we verify this by testing the raw colostrum in our factory. We do not control the diets of these animals but our farmers need healthy cows to have a financially sound farm. The cows do graze most of the time but are fed a grain diet while they are being milked that is comprised of approximately 30% soybean meal with the balance being corn and oats. The cows need this to produce a healthy and good tasting milk. We purchase appox 14 liters out of the first milking of approx 18 liters, once a year from each cow that has a calf, which amounts to about one tenth of one percent of that cows milk. I am not aware of any dairy farmer that does not feed their cows grain during the milking process and the grain mixture used is based on research done by Universities that have Agricultural programs. Again I thank you for your interest hope this information allows you to enjoy the health benefits of BodyBoost Whole Colostrum. . Enjoy in good health, John

It's titled "sweet garlic vegetable sauce" and it has 0% cholesterol and 0% trans fat. I personally don't use much of it as I'm not a fan of the taste. I think that the vegetables are moist and tasty enough without it.

7g, sat fat = 2.5g, trans fat = 0 other fats 4.5gtotal 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.

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!!!

Cholesterol generally in itself is not the issue. It's the source. Cholesterol from whole foods like this product is absorbed and used by your body as it should be. Cholesterol from processed, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated sources sticks to your arteries. Hope this helps

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.

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!

All fish oil has tiny amounts of cholesterol, but it is negligible. But science shows that people who take fish oil generally have a significant reduction of triglcyerides. I can't speak for how other companies set their prices. But, we have a direct relationship with the company that sources and distills the fish oil, so we're able to cut out the middleman. Also we feel strongly that everyone should take the highest quality product available so they get results, so we try to keep our prices down

55%- Chocolove bars are VERY rich. if you like dark chocolate this is the stuff for you. 55% is plenty as the chocolate is high quality and strong.

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 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.

Two grams of saturated fat isn't high in my book, you need a little bit of fat in your diet. They don't sacrifice flavor. That's probably why it's "so high" it's not bland or chalky like ON or Muscle Milk.

None listed on label, though much of this concept seems irrelevant since cholesterol is naturally made in the body & has many necessary functions. And of course there is "good cholesterol" & "bad cholesterol". Some research seems to show refined carbs may contribute more to body fat/"bad cholesterol". Individuals have different sensitivities to good fats/bad fats as well as to good carbs/bad carbs. You may want to recheck with your own doctor(s) about your own cholesterol test numbers & what they mean for you.
