Acesulfame potassium is used in some whey protein isolates. I looked up American Whey's isolate and it contains this ''potentially''? harmful ingredient. Does anyone know if Truenutrion's whey protein isolate contains this? I would like to hear from some vets to know if this is even something to worry about, or if you avoid it as well. Its important to note that I use a lot of whey protein isolate as a protein replacement in many of my meals. Thanks guys! :llama:

This stuff also seems to create an insulin response but the report i saw lists the amounts at 150mg/kg and 20mg/kg and I can't find any good information how much of this stuff is actually in products like diet pop.
Don't want to think you're minimizing insulin response by eating low carb and then spiking your insulin throughout the day with your protein drinks.
