The isolates are more pure, and more expensive. It's a better choice for lactose intolerant people since they have zero or very little trace of lactose. There are two methods used to make whey protein isolate. One uses a microfiltration system, the other uses ion-exchange. One of them (I...

It's a good start, everything begins modestly. One thing I would recommend is to make sure you get a handshake, physical contact helps in establishing rapport. There are some posts about the "proper" way to shake a female's hand, i.e. make sure it isn't a business-like handshake. You...
