Better than juice or soda.

Worse than tap water, if you have a clean water source.

Waste of money if you're on SNAP.

The fiber is corn fiber. Have you ever willingly consumed corn fiber? I think corn fiber is a huge component of low grade pet food!

Corn fiber? Like what popcorn and corn on the cob is made of?

But why add to the problem? It doesn't make sense to me. This is something kids don't need, she knows they don't, and she actively campaigned for better nutrition. I think it's such an odd thing to pick as a product for her.

Soluble corn fiber is made from GMO corn syrup, which is chemically processed. Then it’s heated, hydrolyzed, and filtered into a white tasteless powder.

Soluble corn fiber is made by adding heat and acid to regular high-fructose corn syrup. This rendering-down process helps burn off many of the sugar compounds found in traditional HFCS. The final product contains only one type of saccharide (another term for sugar)

I would rather give my child a 100% fruit juice and add water than give them an ultra processed frankenfruit drink with artificial sweetener.

Luxury beliefs. Good for thee but not for me.

I wasn't sure about this product until how stupid the opposition was. Now I love GMO-Panic weirdos and people who are too upper class to visit a Costco, vs a public health entrepreneur offering a higher quality product than the competition.

Guess what: Michelle Obama is smarter than you "worried" and "disappointed" people

Disappointing for sure and really inexplicable.

So it's HFCS without the HF, which is the bad part of HFCS? We're doomed!!!!


It's an oligosaccharide, not a monosaccharide or disaccharide (sugar).

It's displacing juice. That's better nutrition. I'm sure you never drink juice though.

I’ve always been a fan of the Obama’s, but I’m not crazy about the path they’ve gone down since leaving office.

oligosaccharide is a simple sugar.

Oligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate chain made up of three to 10 simple sugars, which are also known as monosaccharides.
