Looking for a protein powder sweetened with...

plain old sugar. Is there such a thing? Closest I can find is Solgar Whey to Go, sweetened with fructose (6 g "sugars" per 16 g protein). But that's not really what I want...

plain old sugar? fructose is sugar. like what? a glucose/fructose mix on your table? dextrose? they're all sugar.

Seems there is research that suggests not all sugars are the same. Here, for example: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/23/he...tml?ref=health

I would probably still pick the fructose-sweetened protein over artificially sweetened, but Solgar's product is the only one I know that is sweetened only with fructose, it is very expensive (> $40 for 41 16g servings), and about a year ago Solgar prohibited retailers from discounting their products so it costs me more than it used to.

why not get unsweetened and use whatever sweetener you want?

OK, I just created my own protein powder on trueprotein.com. I hope it's good!
