About fructose:

Fructose is a hexose monosaccharide, meaning that it has only one carbon ring containing six carbon atoms.  Monosaccharides include the simplest naturally-produced sugars, and includes glucose (hexose) and galactose.  To say that fructose is more complex than glucose is misleading; they have the same chemical formula (C₆H₁₂O₆), just different molecular structures.  Now, fructose requires a glucose rider to be effectively absorbed, which would make it an ideal low-sugar sweetener as long as it isn't paired with glucose, but other than that, a good idea would just be to eat 3 servings of fruit for something sweet.  As always, everything in moderation.

I drink Muscle Milk and I like it.  It is tasty and has a little more protein than most of the competing powders (32g per serving (2, 75g scoops).  I have tried alot of the flavors and recommend Chocolate mint chip and cookies'n creme.  [i dont care for the mocha flavor much]

However it seems to be a little more fattening than the other brands.

{Its like eating a cheesebuger}

I really care about the price, amount of protien and the taste.  Muscle Milk does the trick


If i were to switch off becuase I want to tone up (summer), I take Xrated.

Xrated has 18 per scoop which is more than muscle milk (16g per scoop).


Calories                   92                             
Total fat                  1g
Calories from fat     <10g
Saturated fat           <1g

These portions are for one scoop so they need to be doubled if you are to compare them to Muscle Milk.
WARNING: Xrated isn't very tasty
