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 don't know for sure, because there are no nutritional values listed on the label, i.e., fat content, carbohydrate content, sugar, sodium e.t.c. Does anybody know. It seems to be pure but can not tell for sure. I use it to make sugar free dark chocolate, with sugar free Cocoa powder and Stevia powder instead of sugar

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.

I would assume it has the same amount of cholesterol as fresh eggs as it is powdered whole eggs. None of the cholesterol has been taken out.

The amounts are correct. Hershey's coco powder does have less fat, but it is processed in a way that removes all of the coco butter from the powder. This item is processed differently. I checked my Ghirardelli powder and found it had the same fat content as this product. I wouldn't hesitate to use this product based on its fat content as it is a really good product and had a very delicious flavor. And the fat is a "good" fat, so I wouldn't worry about it to much.

They recently changed the scoop size and the protein content is now 30g per scoop. The packaging states that 60g is for two scoops. I don't know how this new scoop size affects creatine content per scoop, but I just use the old scoop size when I scoop.

375 You can find the Nutritional Information at this link (assuming Amazon allows external links) http://www.nestlehealthscience.us/products/Pages/ISOSOURCE®-1-5-CAL.aspx If not go look up Nestle Health Science and the data is listed there. Good product, too bad it doesn't come in Chocolate... :)

Thanks for replying. The concern about cholesterol is not from dairy fat. It is from oxidized fat, which happens when dairy is powdered (it also happens in homogenization process). You can learn more about this by reading what Nina Plank has to say in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ or at her sitewww.ninaplanck.com, on the Cholesterol Myths page at http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm and at www.westonaprice.org. I am not a paid promoter, just a passionate health pursuer!

Hi Mike, According to naturalnews. com, "VEGA joins Natural News heavy metals limits for protein products; company's blends already test among cleanest in industry."And, it is a very legitimate question, one more people have started to ask. I have included a link to the article, but sometimes Amazon deletes it. If that happens, go to the naturalnews website and search Vega One. The article is listed towards the bottom of the page. Be Well.Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/044136_vega_protein_heavy_metals_limits_natural_products.html#ixzz3E3begA8X

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!

I went to Nature Made and I construed that they sold off ALL of the flaxseed oil inventory, as none appear on that site. Moreover, the site page has a duration of mere minute(s), another worry-some factor. Last, the label would identify the strength off the Omega3 content (Alpha L., Linoleic Acid and Oleic Acid) . Anyway, Puritan Pride's figures are best: 500, 110 and 110mgs, respectively. Pricing is best, too. Shop you must. Amazon is best for that. Rosie-39@ live.com

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.

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!
