that being said, i've been reading some interesting data that has recently been revealed to show that it is actually preferable to use whey as the means of increasing insulin as the carbs have shown they reduce growth hormone and IGF-1 levels post workout, whereas protein actually works to increase these at the same time as elevating protein synthesis. You therefore get a more pronounced anabolic effect with a protein and creatine combo post w/o.
Might be true but chances are you read that data in a fitness/Bodybuilding magazine.

These guys advertising revenue is 95% whey and creatine ads, there is hardly a single article where they don't try to sell you the whey/creatine combo, gotta stay in business
