Er...I know!!! Problem is, the magazine seemed to 'know' differently. I think this is a throw-back to ads which emphasise the protein content of different foods a a healthy thing [peanut butter, IIRC, was always advertised like this in the 50s and 60s - these days, food advertisers tend to emphasise the 'low fatness' of their foods, and the peanut butter makers can't really contribute there ; ) ] But protein, to a UK market, at least, is thought to be a Jolly Good Thing...so if protein is a JGT, then 'more' protein must be even more of a JGT. <sigh> HWN *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
