    Coca-Cola (KO) will soon begin selling Core Power, a high-protein milk shake produced by a dairy co-op, to roughly 10K stores in several states. The move comes as Coke, which owns the Powerade brand, tries to better compete with PepsiCo's (PEP) Gatorade unit in the growing sports drink market. 11.5 oz. bottles of Core Power typically sell for $3.

  • Hopefully the Core Power drink will have less metals in it than Muscle Milk and EAS pre-made protein drinks.

  • Cokes Power Ade has zero Sugar. Even though I own a lot of Pepsi
    I won't go near Gator Ade. Unfortunately all of them taste horrible.
    I suggest water.

  • From Consumer Reports, July 2010:

    "The samples of Muscle Milk Chocolate powder we tested contained all four heavy metals, and levels of three metals in the product were among the highest of all in our tests. Average cadmium levels of 5.6 µg in three daily servings slightly exceeded the USP limit of 5 µg per day, and the average lead level of 13.5 µg also topped the USP limit of 10 µg per day. The average arsenic level of 12.2 µg was approaching the USP limit of 15 µg per day, and the average for mercury was 0.7 µg, well below the USP's 15 µg-per-day limit. Three daily servings of Muscle Milk Vanilla Crème contained 12.2 µg of lead, exceeding lead limits, and 11.2 µg of arsenic. A fourth product, Muscle Milk Nutritional Shake Chocolate (liquid), provided an average of 14.3 µg of arsenic per day from three servings, approaching the proposed USP limit."
