Ensurance

     If you take a notion to, or are advised by a quack Doc. to, drink Ensure, or any of its many variants, don't do it.  And by that I mean don't frickin' do it!  It is toxic garbage, with sugar, safflower oil, and soy protein among its ingredients.  It has no more meaningful nutrition than a milkshake despite the pittance of vitamins it, supposedly, has.  It is in fact an anti-nutrient.  It is straight-up medical malpractice to feed this crap to hospital patients and nursing home residents.   The same can be said for any and all of the many "diet" shakes available.  Don't touch any of them.  Not eating anything at all (fasting) is far far healthier than drinking metabolic poison.  I might drink one if I had been lost in the desert for a month without any food, but short of that no way in hell would I consume that horrid liquid.
