Okay, this was the first time I even read this thread and....it's Nucking Futz!

How did a conversation get that ugly?

Man...I dunno, I've never really had any problem with Taurus, we just took little "shots" at each other in the past, and I thought it was cool to have a fellow Canuck on here, but....that shit calling a US soldier a "Killer" is pretty f'ing unexcusable. To the service man: Since you'll never get an apology from Taurus, or the like. I'd like to apologize as a fellow Canadian. Whether or not you agree with the war has nothing to do with a soldier doing his job. That wasn't cool at all. :(

As far as the protein discussion: Man, I'm not sure you could do 1000 studiese in 100 countries and come up with the same data. I've read what some of you guys use and I'm completely different. I digest protein differently because my digestive system is very slow (doctor calls it "sleepy bowel") I used to take tablets for it and they corrected it, but I stopped, because I learned how to take advantage of my bodies disability. Because my body digests fluids much quicker than solids, I usually drink a 20-30 gram protein drink with 4 oz of whole milk, and then about 20 minutes later, I'll eat something like a chicken breast or a steak or whatever protein source I'm munching on for the day. The result, for me at least has been that I've got the instant protein in my body after the drink and a sort of "time released" protein for the next hour or two from the whole food source. I really don't think this would work for many other people that don't have my condition, but since I started doing it (since March of this year) I've gotten great results. I used to get piss poor results from my protein supplementation because I'd eat some whole food protein source and it would sit in my body undigested for hours. By then I'd be having a protein drink and they would both get digested around the same time. Now THAT gave me the shits, and I didn't get great BB results. Now I feel better, my erhhmmm..."washroom problems" have sorted themselves out and I've made some gains after feeling like I had plateud.

That's my 2 cents
