so taste aside, is this self defeating to have the sugar.

Chocolate/vanilla etc I havent found a drink withno sugar.

Is there one out there?

That's because things like Maltodextrin spike Bloodsugar when it's lower like after training, so the energy sugars / siimple and high GI Carbs, are beneficial.

So that's a good thing to have the sugar in it.

sugar/carb help protein to be delivered to muscle cells, it's impossible to do that without sugar/carb. whey with no sugar? not good idea, unless you drink it together with eating some carbs with it.

Carbs make the Protein usage better, by stimulating Insulin to deliver Protein into the muscles.

However if the person ate somethign within about 1-2 hours of training, the length of workout, and amount of Glycogen usage, could contribute to some kind of post-workout Insulin Spike, depending on how much of the Carbs eaten earlier still were being utilised in the body, so in some circumstances, having a low Carb whey shake wouldn't be much of an issue.

However Carb based ones are better, and generally the difference in price is nothing to worry about.

But I REALLY like his flavored stuff. It's made with stevia and has less chemical crap in it than most of the others I've seen.

That suprises me that it's Casein free. As most Isolates are not Casein free, they just have about an 85% /15% Whey to Casein ratio as opposed to a 70% / 30% Whey to Casein ratio in copncentrate,
