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.

I still haven't figured anything out about the pectin but have been having good luck with using about 3 tablespoons of non-fat dry milk powder. I wouldn't think this should contribute to bad cholesterol as it is made only from skim milk.

I've tried both, but I do tend to lean more towards the chocolate. Since I primarily use it in my protein shakes, which I add powdered supplements to, the chocolate tends to cut out the taste of the supplements better. :)

As i have finished the package already, not sure. However, you can just look at the nutrition label on the back. Go to their website, and you can look it up. Or other websites that sell it may have the label you can view the picture of it. Great product though. Price/gram of high quality, organic whey...this is your best bet. I reviewed at least a dozen other organic whey products before choosing this one. I just wish they sold a quantity larger than 2lbs to help bring down the price/gram. Good luck

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.

Yes for sure, this drink has one of the highest protein contents and has super low carbs and only 1 gram of fat. I love the chocolate taste and it fills me and keeps me from bing eating.

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.

If taken as directed, only one week. I've had much better success with Serious Mass Weight Gainer. It puts more weight on faster, tastes MUCH better, doesn't make you sick, isn't full of sugar and has a lot of vitamins & minerals (like Ovaltine type drinks) so it's good for you, too. You have to use a blender to make it though. Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Serious-Chocolate-Pound/dp/B0015R36SK/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384366310&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=serious+mass+weigh+gainer. Hope this helps!

I think there is a variety that has chocolate, but the regular PB2 does not. It is a wonderful alternative to the full fat/sugar peanut butter if you are watching the waistline. I mix it with Greek yogurt or in my morning shake.

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

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!

Unfortunately I did not keep the box from my most recent shipment; however, the 60 ct. Dark chocolate is advertised at 25.4 oz or 720g.

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

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.
