    diet whey?

    Re: diet whey? thanks for your reply. I didn't think it would, and I had a chat with the staff today and she thought it shouldn't either. they are still quite high now for some reason, can't quite fathom it. of all the ingredients, I googled whatever and diabetes and it all looked like studies...
