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.

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. Not really.

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

Well I liked the chocolate the best initially when mixed with just water but this morning I mixed 2 scoops vanilla 8 oz water 4 oz vanilla almond milk and some ice cubes in a mixer bottle and it was much better. If mixed with just 8 oz water it is very thick and frothy with a bad after taste, this mixture seemed to help and I also lost about 5 lbs this week with restricted calories and 45 min walk every other day.

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.

The chocolate is 160 calories per scoop if using water. If using milk you need to add the calories from the milk with the pure protein. Make sure you have a shaker when using this product. I use this product after a long run and it keeps me full afterwards.

I was using 2 tblsp a day spread out. One in the morning with my oatmeal and one with my protein shake. Remember you need fat in your diet and 1.5g of fat is nothing. This cacao is all natural and unsweetened it's a good fat.

The single ingredient listed is protein from 100% whey. However, the label also states it contains lecithin from soy. I think it must be a miniscule amount. I avoid all soy on the advice of my oncologist, but I use this product and love it.

As Tanya & Caterina describe caul fat is lacy and web like. I suggest you divide it into small portions and freeze what you are not using at the time. 10 lbs is a huge amount. I wish they would sell it in 5 lb amounts. Shipping about doubles the price.

You were seriously unwilling to Google this information? 16grams per serving for the Chocolate. Warrior Food isn't for you though. You need The Lame-Lazy-Lethargic Food.

I cannot give you an educated answer. Only that my nutritionist highly approves of this chocolate and whenever I order it for myself I send an identical order to her.

The packaging has changed since I purchased it in 2011, but it says palm oil. There is cholesterol, but not in dairy form. I would check on palm oil if you are on a restricted diet.
