Best Whey Protein page 7

The Source Naturals True Whey seems very good, but one review on Amazon said it was too sweet. It contains stevia. I was looking for something unsweetened. Can anyone comment on how sweet the Source Naturals True Whey is?

You can get Vital Whey unflavored (and unsweetened) at iherb.com. They sell it in bulk too

I used to love whey protein, mainly because I thought I was adding in much needed protein and calories, all the while being able to have a delicious shake to boot! But in the not too distant past, I stopped taking it to see how my body would react (weight loss, strength loss, etc.). Guess what? No change. Why? Because any loss in calories from stopping their consumption has been made up in real food.

I personally feel that people only drink them because they taste good, and are convenient. If you're eating paleo, you are getting more than enough protein and simply have no additional benefit from whey protein. Not to mention, it's so freakin' processed and ALWAYS contains soy lecithin. Always. Even the ones that don't list it contain <1%, and therefore they don't need it on the label. No thanks.

I use NOW unflavored whey.

it makes fantastic protein fluff and mixes well with anything.

I bought True Nutrition grass-fed whey protein for $12/lb. No sweetener or anything else. The only downside was the shipping costs were high compared to Amazon and other places with free or low cost shipping.

I use the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein. Both the Vanilla and Chocolate flavors are great. (My wife likes the Vanilla, I am more of a Chocolate guy)

The best protein powder is no protein powder. It is all junk - just varying levels of junk.

The best whey protein is quality sourced milk.

This is kind of like calling gelatin or coconut oil junk. Technically you're correct, but it's also a very purified product, and discouraging people from using it on the basis of dietary piety is likely to do more harm than good. It's a modern world and people need all the options they can get.
