Is Buckwheat such a new product so they're giving it more press? (so many things come in cycles...) M&F is a good magazine, alas, it's reader beware. The freelance writers may make mistakes, or prone to hype. (For Ex: their 2 parter on protein intake states that 1.5 ratio to body weight is okay, based on studies of individuals consuming less than 1 ratio. That .5 may just overdo the kidney. Maybe not, but extrapolating numbers from studies doesn't build confidence.) They gotta fill pages. I almost bought the issue for the protein article alone. But I questioned their ratings of protein. At least Thrive Diet is based on one individual's experience. Does the revised edition still advocate hemp as much?

The Muscle & Fitness is still on newsstands. It has a guy holding up some raw steak with "Eat like a man" text. BUT- They look at alternative protein powders and breakdown who they would be good for. Uniformly, they're all for vegans. Buckwheat protein got the biggest boost. First time I've heard of it. Hemp protein was recommended to NOT use before or after workouts, due to the high fat to protein ratio and fiber. Brown Rice protein was recommended, too. The article says there's more recommendations online, but I couldn't find the link.

Hey! First post. Here's the deal: Vitaminshoppe.com has Nutiva Hemp protein 16oz for $8.99 and Nutribiotic Rice Protein 21oz $12.58. Free Shipping on orders over $99. 20% off code for orders over $50 is 2629, expires Mar 16 09 11:59 ET. So I got 7 canisters of Hemp Protein and 5 canisters of Rice for $100.10. This is the best deal on vegan protein I've ever seen. Hope others can take advantage of it. Best- Orlandont
