Wow! Chocolate Milk?!? I don’t doubt it, and you have the numbers to back it up. No need for Surge. Tell me, my Uncle has been pushing me to drink Herbalife shakes after lifting and I have hesitated (because of the cost). Do you think its a better solution then chocolate milk?

This is a great post and i have since switched to chocolate milk post workout because i am so sick of all the bullshit science and over thinking about whey,caesin,BCAA,creatine i just don’t give a shit anymore and i am angry at having wasted so much money on shit supplements because of unscrupulous comapany’s. look back to the early 40′s and 50′s guys like reg park built great bodies without protein powders and all the other crap just hard training and proper food

What about creatine and chocolate milk? Is it possible to drink water with creatine followed by a chocolate milk? Or will the casein in the milk interfere with the absorption of creatine, so that it will transfer into creatinine?

The fructose thing in your PWM is a new thing for me, but your argument sounds very logical. But you never mentioned quantity? Absolute or as a percentage of total CHO?

does it have to be chocolate milk? can it be honey mixed into milk? i’m assuming the only thing you are getting from the chocolate is the sugar.. right?

I have been bodybuilding since I was 16. Now 53 and still going! So much bullshit has been written about food and supplements. Mainly by companies trying to selling the magic powder. Not only have I trained for years , I have also studied nutrition for nearly the same amount of years. What have I learnt? 99% of the people on this planet do not eat right!

Milk you say, better than surge! Well it is! But do I drink milk? No fear, -Visit http://www.notmilk.com – And there are plenty of other sites similar. That would go for any milk product. – cheese, yoghurt etc.

If you want a better diet all round, try and eat as much raw food as you can. My protein comes from raw eggs, nuts seeds and plant form. Yes I do like a roast dinner with meat, because I love it! But meat, I eat perhaps, 2 times a week, if that! I weight nearly 200 pounds at 5′ 11” . I only eat about 50 – 70 grams of protein a day! And it works!! No more 1grm for each 1lb of bodyweight bullshit, gave that up years ago

My growth has not been affected by dumping all the supplements years ago. Mugs we are until you read real science, not Mr Magoo paid by some vit company.

Wish you all well, read science not bodybuilding mags !!!

Great article. Point made, proven, and will be heeded. All I’m left wondering now is that, if cow’s milk is so effective for post-exercise, then would unpasteurized human milk be even more so? Less protein but more carbs, and packed with enzymes and nutrients of high bioavailability. Scoop of whey into some breastmilk anyone?

Not so much to comment on the article (besides that the Norwegian College of Athletics – Idrettshøyskolen, has released numerous articles presenting cientific backing for claims that milk indeed is a terriffic nutrient for athletes, both while training and the rest of the time too).
I would like to mention that T-nation looked very promising when I first found it, but soon I found the very american marketing distasteful. By american marketing I mean claims that are outragous and with no founding in reality. In Europe such marketing are seldom used, as it commonly backfires when it is ridiculed by media, consumer organisations and others.

However, the site contain some interesting articles on muscle building that does not pretend that steroids does not exist. Most “serious” sites have a strict “we do not discuss steroids” policy. Do you know of any good ones that don’t?

There is nothing magic about the ‘chocolate’ part of milk.
