Hi,
first of all, sorry for the double message but it seems that my username wasn`t register maybe.
after a blood test, my doctor told me that my bad cholesterol was a little high but that`s gonna be fine if i start a good diet.
So i'm trying a good diet that freetrainers members help me with and i workout for day a week.
I was just wondering if it is ok in my case to continue using the optimum 100% whey protein with a diet and train or do i have to stop maybe the protein because of the cholesterol.
Thanks for the help guys!

BB1 did a post on the benefits of whey. It actually helps in the cholesterol dept. Try a fitbuddy search and see what you get. I seem to remember it was entitles somthing like Whey, No Whey! But I may be wrong.

This is one post by BB1 on whey. Interesting read but not the one I was thinking of.

Quality information on whey, some may be known, but some may not be...As important as strong muscles are to us, just as important is a strong immune system, and whey it just so happens can help fortify your defenses. Whey contains an abundance of the amino acid cysteine, which the body uses to create glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that improves the immune system's response to infection and helps mop up free radicals.
Human prostate cells treated with whey proteins in the labaroratory cranked out more glutathione-by up to 64%, leading researchers to believe that whey protein mayhelp protect against prostate cancer(Toxicol Vitro 2003).
Another vital part of a resilient imune system is a healthy digestive tract, one filled with friendly probiotic bacteria that can muscle harmful germs out of the way. Some whey componenets have been found to function as prebiotics-nutrients that selectively stimulate probiotic growth and activity.
One whey protein, lactoferrin, is able to bind with iron, depriving bad guy germs of this important mineral while supplying it to the bodies probiotic defenders(J Nutr 2001;131:2101-4). Other whey compounds called immunoglobulins keep the toxins bad bacteria create from binding to the walls of the bowel.
So, the news is all good on whey!!

I went from 360-something to 197 with Lipitor and an improved diet. Sometimes modern medicine is good...
