Aspartame - Not worth the risk
Aspartame is a popular artificial sweetener, both as a stand alone product and as a food and beverage ingredient.Several rat studies have shown aspartame to cause leukemia and tumors. However, industry sponsored studies and heavy pressure on the FDA have allowed aspartame to receive the coveted GRAS (generally recognized as safe) designation.Recent studies (Denmark, 2010) linked consumption of artificial sweeteners like aspartame to pre-term deliveries. Many consumers attribute their headaches to the consumption of aspartame.Bottom line: Until high-quality studies by independent scientists will be conducted, it is best to stay away from Aspartame.

Contains controversial artificial colors
Once upon a time, there were no food colorings. Then folks figured out that food looks better and sells more when it can be enlivened through dyes. For most of food history, the dyes were from natural sources beet juice for red, turmeric for yellow,etc. However, in the quest to increase color intensity and lower manufacturing costs, cheap artificial dyes were introduced to market.Unfortunately they pose a risk for hyperactivity in children, cancer, and allergic reactions.

Fiber overload!
Whoa! There's a lot of fiber in this product. But that's not necessarily a good thing. Seems to us like there's too much fiber.While fiber is important, scarfing it down all at once doesn't do you much good.Consume fiber throughout the day. Eating lots of fruits & vegetables in addition to whole grains is an easy way to do this. Bottom line: If you find you're coming up short on fiber, a catch up session isn't going to solve your problem. Your body simply won't absorb it all. You may also feel very bloated.
