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.

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 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.

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.

Cholesterol in food is not bad, only what your own body produces matters. And 50% of people having heart attacks have low levels of it. Egg yolks are high in lethecin, which dissolves cholesterol. So does non-GMO soy and the granules taste great. Good in smoothies. (Lethicin? Not sure if has I or e in the middle)

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.

I wish to avoid powdered milk products after what I read in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ by Nina Planck. She explains that dried milk is one of the biggest contributors of bad cholesterol in our diets, because of the oxidation of the fats. Anyone figure anything else out about the pectin?

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

Mary: There is a scoop included (33 grams) which is considered a single serving upon which all of the nutritional information is based. I really enjoy it: it's clean, satisfying, eco-friendly packaging, lactose-free and a superior product, in my opinion, which is never humble. I've tried many other products and have yet to find one I like better. The 33g portion mixes up smooth, but with body and a luxurious mouth-feel, so you don't feel hungry or deprived, or disappointed by the watery texture. I also choose to bump mine up using Almond Milk instead of dairy, and fresh fruit makes it a true treat! Hope that is helpful!

Since I already provide a fairly complete diet, I supplement my pack of 4 (each in the 40-70 lb range) the daily maintenance dose, which is 3/4 oz. At that rate, 5 lbs yields about a little over 100 servings. According to their website, www.nuprosupplements.com, the ** Enclosed scoop = 3 tablespoons (1 oz.) ** . I recommend going to their website for accurate information or call the 800 number on the label: 800-360-3300

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie
