all research is found of pubmed.com

see when ppl like john berardi, alan aragon, craig ballytyne, christian finn, bill hartman, christopher mohr, etc point to this research and the others like them and comment on how milk will get the job done, i take notice. i leave it up to them for the "reputablity and examination" because thats their job. i dont have to go looking for the research myself because actually it bores me.

ill check it out though without titles it will be difficult enough.

Thats where i differ. I never take anyones statementsat face value without examining the research behind it. Call me sceptical but in my line of work if something is wrong I can say well John Berardi says its good so what more do you need.

I tried to scroll through all the notes on this but might have missed it...does why protein have an expiration date? I have some that is a little old, but I've kept it sealed and in a dark place.

Yeah, the powdered whey goes out of date about 4 years after it was manufactured...kind of like powdered eggs and powdered milk. Does it actually go bad? I don't know...I don't give it a chance because a tub only lasts me 1.5-2 weeks.

Glad this thread popped up in the "new posts" search. I have been an ON man for a long time (Rocky Road!)... that said, my buds got some Dymatize protein and said it was great, and I got a 5lb tub of chocolate. Oh man... I have to say it edges out ON Rocky Road in the taste category. Basically the same nutritional value too. It's VERY good, I'd highly recommend you at least give it a try.

I started with EAS soy and whey protein which did pretty well for me (about $10). Then switched over to GNC Weight Gainer 1850 ($25) which didn't do much for me. And now I'm using Body Fortress Whey Protein ($10). It works alright. From time to time I buy the can shake MetRX Metomyosin (i forget what it's called) from the gym and those work really well for me. $3.50 a can. And always select whey over soy. I forgot the reason why, but supposedly it's better.

i'm glad i read this thread. i usualy take myoplex lite protein shakes, but wanted to find something with less cals and not a meal replacement. i called so many supliment stores in my area and none of them carried the EAS simply whey. i finaly went to the place i always get my stuff from and the guy there said they stopped stocking it becuse the EAS stuff isnt selling like it did 5-7 years ago. he recommended optimum nutrition, he says they make their protein shakes out of it. after reading so many positive things on here about it and with his feedback i picked up a jug friday and i really like it. i got the chocloate flavor and just mixed it with water and a few ice cubes. even the boyfriend who hates protein shakes likes it. he better not drink too much of my whey!

Wow this thread started 3 years ago and is still going, well I'll put my two cents in. Whey protein is the best, so to the person who started this thread: in case it has taken you 3 years to find the best protein powder, despite what anyone who says otherwise, whey is the best.

Not true.

You have to look at it in context (i.e. what are you using it for?). Post workout, yes, I will agree that whey is superior. However, if you're looking for something to take pre-bed, then a casein based protein powder would be optimal. If you want a powder to use as a MRP, then I would suggest a mixture of several different kinds of protein, but at the least, a blend of whey & casein.

Isn't that what he was asking? I see what you're saying I use either cottage cheese or time released mixture of whey and casein which is all gnc carries.

Just an FYI from a newbie. I found EAS Whey Protein at Sam's Club 23.99 for a 6lb bag. I'm not sure how in reality EAS stacks up against the others but according to labels, pretty much the same stuff. I can say I compared prices and labels at several places and it was the best bargain I found.
