What brands are good these days for protein? BSN syntha 6? Muscle milk? Myofusion? (at least from my reading). I am really stickler for taste so I am looking for something that tastes alright.
I have also found the cost of supplements a little hard to swallow. Anyone have experience with bodybuilding.com? Does the exchange, shipping and possible customs fees still make it cheaper then the expensive Canadian online sites?

That's a lot of protein. How much protein do you get in a day? Do you even know how much you need?
You're complaining about the price but I would guess you're getting a lot more protein than you could possible need. What do you know about creatine? Glutamine? Do you need them?
Also, for something to taste good and have no sugar, it obviously has artificial sweeteners. If you're worried about your health then you should question some of the fillers they put in simple supplements such as protein. Many of the additives/supplements, etc, that at one time were considered safe are now off of shelves. Even a "safe" sweetener such as sucralose still lacks a lot of research to back it. And that's not even getting into the aspartames and the acesulfame-potassiums.
