What do you know about Boost?

[Thinktank]

Is that for real - the crap is loaded with sugar?

Do people actually drink that crap? It looks as unhealthy as you can get.

Water, Corn Syrup Solids, Sugar, Modified Milk Ingredients, Canola Oil,

With those top five ingredients, someone would have to be a mental patient to drink that stuff.

And I know someone who is drinking a lot of it. My uncle. He got the great advice from my genius cousin.

there are a lot of dumb people out there.

Mental patient? Dumb? I'm sure people who are undergoing chemo and/or radiation or are taking it for other various reasons are thrilled with your characterization.

Bottom line ... if they are taking it for whatever reason, good for them. If they aren't, good for them. Who in hell are you to say what they should or shouldn't have?

Who in hell am I? A person. Who in hell are you?

If people can't make a drink out of natural ingredients, but have to drink : Water, Corn Syrup Solids, Sugar, Modified Milk Ingredients, Canola Oil, - made by Glaxo Smith Kline, I would say they are nuts. but I would never say they should never do it. Why would I go to someone I don't even know and tell them what to do?

Only a mental patient would do that.

Often seniors drink boost and it is suggested they drink it from a doctor.
Without it they will often be losing weight and getting sick.
But I know thinktank, you know more than doctors do don't you?

I know that sugar and modified milk ingredients and canol oil aren't as good
as bananas, mangos, blueberries, gound up almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and some cream.

So yes - I do know more than doctors.

Nope.
Sorry thinktank you do not.
I am talking about seniors (or palliative people) who for whatever reason cannot
physically put together the healthy drink you speak of.
They cannot make your drink but they can open a bottle and some people
cannot even open the bottle.
You are speaking from the perspective of a able bodied person.

I can't see why anyone would drink a bottle of crap?

Sugar
Corn syrup
Modified milk ingredients
and canola oil.

So an old guy is weak. He's too weak to even get out of bed.

So Glaxo Smith Kline puts some sugar, corn syrup, modified milk ingredients and canola oil along with other
chemicals into a bottle and that sick person is supposed to drink the crap.

So how is the weak person ever going to get stronger, if he drinks a bottle of crap every day?

[grammafreddy]

Its not a food, ThinkTank. It's intended to be a rehydrating product and an energy booster.

you know, when i see something that upsets me as much as this seems to upset you i do some research on alternative products. if nothing like that exists then i would suggest you look in to creating one.
