Thread: ZIPFIZZ

I just looked it up.

"What ingredients are in ZipFizz

Sugar content of ZipFizz Energy Drink Mix: Contains no sugar."

"Polycose Glucose Polymers
An easily digestible source of carbohydrate calories for use when additional calories are required. Mixes easily with regular foods and beverages to provide extra calories for persons with increased caloric needs or for those whose normal diet does not meet their needs. "

Zipfizz also contains sucralose, which is another name for Splenda.
Sucralose is a synthetic compound, which — without going into too much scientific detail –is basically sugar modified by adding chlorine atoms. Sucralose, incidentally, was discovered in the 1970s by researchers looking to create a new pesticide.

Zipfizz seems to be a mixture of carbohydrates, sucralose and supplements. Not an ideal drink for people trying to get healthier by losing weight.

I should stick to water.
