    I keep hearing this. Why chocolate milk and not just regular skim milk?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    From Medscape Medical News-

    ...coauthor Joel M. Stager, PhD, from Indiana University in Bloomington, said in a news release. "Chocolate milk contains an optimal carbohydrate to protein ratio, which is critical for helping refuel tired muscles after strenuous exercise and can enable athletes to exercise at a high intensity during subsequent workouts."

    The clinical context and study highlights can be found here

    My own study results have shown that chocolate milk is just plain tasty.

    My gut isn't always pleased with milk products, so on a whim I bought an envelope of Nutiva hemp protien powder last year. Forgot all about it, and now it's expired.

    I think I'll eat it anyway.

    Will this stuff make you test positive on a drug test?

    No. If you read the pkg, it'll say it has either '0' or whatever very low amt. of THC. When they do a 'real' drug test, they're looking for amts beyond 'normal' consumption. I.E. if you ate 20 poppyseed muffins *right* before your test, you *might* come up as positive for opiates. Maybe.
    For instance, my lip balm contains "10qg/g or less THC"
    No idea what a qg is, though.

    Are you sure it's not pg=picogram, one trillionth of a gram?
