And I made it so that I would drink it.

It's super clean. So let's find it.

And then we're going to compare. If we can, and we'll get to your vitamins, we're going to compare the ingredients in your protein to like the Lineage protein that I'm going to send you. This is what you drink?

Oh, Pat. All right.

Okay. So first ingredient, filtered low-fat grade A milk. We can talk about it. I think milk fat is very beneficial for humans, and you want whole milk if you're drinking milk, preferably you want a raw milk or an A2 milk. We'll get to all that. There's a lactase enzyme in here, which is for people that are lactose intolerant. I have no problem with that. Sea salt, we're doing great.

But then, Pat, we get to ACE-K, which is asulfame potassium. And they wrote it out as asulfame potassium. They didn't say ACE-K. So that's an artificial sweetener in here. And we go back to the artificial sweetener little bit that I mentioned earlier. We really don't know that these are safe for humans.

They definitely affect your gut flora and they're potentially affecting neurometabolically how your body responds to insulin and how your body manages calories. So I think that you need to not have any artificial sweeteners in your diet. And there's one in your chocolate protein drink. The next ingredient is very interesting. It's carrageenan. And this is a problem for humans.

And this is a problem for humans.

So carrageenan, there's recently been some articles talking about carrageenan. It's a sulfated polysaccharide derived from algae. But the problem is that in the processing of carrageenan, there are breakdown products of carrageenan that look to be quite harmful for the human gut. So I don't think carrageenan should be in any of our foods. It's a form of a thickener. It's used to make this thicker.

So it feels like a milkshake. But carrageenan is quite potentially damaging your gut. Yeah. Next ingredient is monk fruit juice concentrate. Look, in terms of sweeteners, that's probably the most benign, but I still have some issues with monk fruit sweetener. Maltodextrin is essentially a form of sugar. You have cellulose gum, which is also... Probably not great for your gut.

Stevia leaf extract, I'm not a fan of. Even stevia, I think, is not great for humans, but we can talk about why. Sucralose is another artificial sweetener. And then you have vitamin A palmitate, which is sort of a food form of vitamin A. I would rather you just get vitamin A from egg yolks. or other forms of vitamin A. And then you have D3, and that's it.
