POLL: "natural" vs. synthetic sweeteners/flavors
Please take a moment to answer this poll. I am doing some consulting work for a supplement company, and they are deciding on the issue of natural vs synthetic sweeteners in their protein powders. I would be interested in what % of people care about this issue and your answers could very well have an impact on the final product!

I don't think most people pay attention, but they really should, we sweetened IronMaglabs Whey Protein Isolate with Stevia, an all natural herb.

Not at the moment, sorry. It's a small division of a much larger company owned by a mega company. Can't say more, but will when I get a chance. Thanx.

Since I don't compete, I'm not concered with things such as calories/sugar. As long as the protein is high quality, I go for taste.

Will tabulate the votes after a week a figure but so far, a dead heat on the synthetic vs natural here. Need a larger sample set to get more accurate numbers!

No big surprises to me:
The forums below range from mostly young men (e.g., Muscular Development) to mostly young women (e.g., Oxygen) and the results are fairly consistent. If you combine the answers from question 2 and 3 (which are in essence the same question in terms of purchase decisions) you get a clear picture; this demographic cares much more about taste and cost ( but that was not in the poll) then “natural” vs. synthetics.

Those who said they like taste should be eating candy bars and ice cream for their health. Sport supplements are supposed to be for health, not for taste. If it is possible to make any supplemets taste better without compromising the quality of the product , that is fine . But compromising quality of the supplement in order to improve the taste is stupid idea.

We're not arguing the quality of the protein. I'm sure Will isn't going to compromise on the quality of that. What we're arguing is the merits of synthetic versus natural sweeters (i.e. Splenda vs Stevia and such). With that in mind, your question has nothing to do with the argument/poll here.
