Pros: Glucerna at least has some vitamins and minerals in it.
Cons: Too low in protein, too high in carbs & salt. Artificial sweeteners help no one.

Pros: Helps diabetics and others that can't eat like they should.
Cons: Price. Very costly.

Cons: Slight aftertaste after first sip only

Pros: Stabalizes Blood Sugar, Lactose Free, Easy Grab-n-Go, Wonderful Taste!
Cons: price, but I have found a 6 pack of 8oz's for under $8 at Wal-mart
