This is a repeat of another post--but in the other one I got All The WHey and Kent mixed up in the post... mind fried that night :p

Still curious about my questions:

I was just about to place an order at All The Whey when I saw their banner ad saying that in the last week of January, they're having several new products.

The ones I was most curious about was their ad about Mint Chocolate but they didn't say what was going to be Mint Chocolate -- was it the blend? the isolate? or the milk isolate?

They also talk about Glutamine. Do you think they mean Glutamine Peptides? I've been doing Peptides from Kent--and it's a real pain in the a$$ to make sure it is dissolved so I can doctor it up with some ATW. (It takes like "dookie' as one person put it.)

And I just read what seemed like a pretty solid study that tracked the effects of Peptides compared L-Glutamine (which can be taken by capsules) by using isotopes to track them in the blood of the subjects. This study found that they were equally effectively absorbed -- whereas previous research, which did not have the same technology available, plus theories, held that Peptides was a better, more effective form. Apparantly this study could actually trace how the two were absorbed. They said that, in fact, the L-Glutamine performed slightly better but that the difference was not statistically significant. (That means that though the numbers were better, it was not enough so to believe that it wasn't just due to the vagaries of random performance of both products and this sample study just happened to hit on a case when the L-Glutamine's numbers were higher; it might have been the other way.)

So I was deciding to go back to L-Glutamines capsules because this dissolving of the peptides is a real time waster.

And just to make this thread ridiculously all over the place-- what are the real advantages of milk isolate over just plain isolate?

I just started using the isolate to switch off with the blend when I want to keep fat and carb grams low from my protein powder. I have to admit I don't like it as much as the blend but I am glad to have it (I have 4 flavors, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry & Banana.) It doesn't taste bad, it taste fine. It's just that I find ATW's blend delicious. It tastes like a milkshake to me (with just water.)

So I was wondering, what were the advantages of milk isolate? I know there was a discussion here several months ago -- but I can't find it.

Thanks in advance. :)
