What the hell is in this stuff that would EVER be considered "essential"?????  OMG, just look at the crap they put in this and yet try to get away with calling it a health drink.

My husband's doctor told him to drink this crap.  It might be ok maybe every other day  for a week or so, but beyond that I can only see it causing problems.  Not only that but it contains carrageenan - - which is a HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE INGREDIENT, among quite a few others.

Lotsa sugar and sugar substitutes in that junk. 

Amazing that anyone would consider this crap as a "healthy" drink.  Good God.
