johnny g said it before i got to, dont take muscle milk because of the glycocyamine in it, it raises homocystteine levels and can cause haeart problems
Actually he said....
It was removed for the light version due to the debate regarding glycocyamine and increased homocysteine levels which may or may not lead to heart problems.
May or May not.. the whole GCC thing really started with a David Barr article that used studies to show how evil GCC could be.
Again, one person's opinion using valid studies to support their theory.
Most companies aren't pulling GCC because they believe it to be bad for you, they simply see no reason to fight and uphill battle with worried consumers.
Don't take what you read about GCC to be the holy road of supplement truths. It's removed from Muscle Milk Light basically becuase the pros of using it (what are they again?) simply aren't worth any negative publicity.
The good part is, Cytosport responded quickly to basically and online consumer concern and simply removed that from their product. Along with the fat and extra calories.
All in all, good move.
And more flavors are coming out!
