The part that worries me is the levels of protein and supplementing on this - for the vitamins and supplements etc that is ok to a point however the high levels of protein are not great - some interesting articles on the side effects of protein: http://www.medicinen...rticlekey=50900 http://www.holistick...rotein-powders/ http://www.healthkno...et_effects.html Guess there are arguments for both sides - however for a normal kids doing normal stuff, a normal kids needs around 35g of protein a day - this is around 3.5 glasses of milk - here is a quote: Quote 30g a meal is actually fairly easy to accomplish. For example, one skinless chicken breast (130g total) has ~40g of protein, a medium egg is about 6g protein. Even a slice of bread has about 4g. One scoop of the average whey powder is usually around 25-30g of protein, making a quick fruit/whey shake after a workout an easy way to boost intake. So an average kid certainly does not NEED the protein - so who is the real target market ? Parents who want to get off a guilt trip of not feeding their kids right ? Parents who are pushing their kids to hard in the first place ? Interesting article however in favour of training kids a tad: http://well.blogs.ny...ining-for-kids/ Personally I will stick with a more natural approach for as long as possible or until a doctor diagnoses my kids personally and advises otherwise
