Standard whey protein concentrate combined with some marketing bull**** bringing in huge profit margins, sounds about right.

An-over-four-year-old thread resurrected by a first time poster. Nice!

This sounds like a cool story to me, but just to be sure I'm going to call up my buddy who is an expert on cool stories and see what he thinks.

Surely, a ton of people eat like crapola, loading up on too many simple carbos andf sugar and fat; surely these people could benefit from whey protein, especially if they're leading active lifestyles and/or are engaged in a fitness regimen.

This is exactly why I use whey protein. I'm not a good eater or have the appetite to be one even I wanted to. So I buy 5 lb bags from sam's club for $38 shipped. One of these bags lasts me over a month. My concern is since I've been consuming this daily for several years, is this product completely harmless because I don't know if these supplements are regulated by the FDA. Does anyone have thoughts on the ingredients in this EAS whey protein?

I avoid drinking any of my calories. I prefer, eating my protein.

I think it's crap.

Look at all the sodium and cholesterol in it! If one bag lasts you a month it means you're getting HALF of your daily cholesterol input from it, an unnatural source at that (not like you are eating eggs, which actually cause the LDL particles to collect and get bigger, reducing their clogging tendencies, serving a useful purpose). The bad stuff in your EAS protein comes from the flavoring.

Compare to just the protein isolate from Now Foods.

Yes, it's more expensive (roughly $60 for 5 lbs) but you're not putting crap into your system.
