Neither sucralose or red 40 are a problem in common serving doses. Idk if people are serious or just joking about the crazy people trying to run the fda now.

Red 40 daily consumption under 475mg. And sucralose under 1200mg for a 150lb person is perfectly fine.

I already quit drugs and alcohol, they aren't taking away my artificial sweeteners too. I will have my one vice
the thing is some are acceptable, some are not

sucralose is not acceptable, it's like saccharin, bad news

stevia might be in the "acceptable" category

Of course. These past years I would consustently TD proteins full of chemicals and artificial like this one.

But in a world where whey protein is a high priced luxury item (especially the "clean" brands), I'll deal with some artificial sweeteners until prices normalize.

That said, Amazon had 2lb of this flavor for around the same price, so this isn't much of a deal.
*Will destroy gut microbiome for cheap protein

Not really.

A 16 oz Kombucha is $3, and only a small sip daily does the job.

RETURNED 😟😡. I ordered 4 pack and 1 of them was expired a month ago and 3 of them going to expire in 3 weeks.

Hence the discount. 🤷 ♂️

It tastes fine tho, I mean the flavor itself is fine, not the best tasting but no issues

No sure what everyone is crying about in the comments
