subtitle stop you, it ins the taste test ith me hands don.
2t comes in a canister, much like some of the other milk alternati3es. )n the can itself it says that
the product is caseinate free, cholesterol free, has natural +8D, is lactose%free, is rich in calcium
(?=E of the .D' in one ser3ing*, and is gluten%free.
2t isn6t sickeningly seet like the rice drinks, or too funky like the soy be3erages in bo5es. 2t6s
pretty much Fust right, as far as taste and color go. 1oe3er, tastes tend to be -uite subFecti3e, so
2 suppose if my post has pi-ued your interest at all, you6ll fork o3er the G@.?= for HD ser3ings and

Dr. Frank !ard, their food scientist as 3ery knoledgeable and confirmed that the bron rice
syrup is not made ith barley en,ymes (many are*, and that their natural 3anilla does not ha3e a
grain alcohol base. 2t is packaged in a Fuice bo5, and he said that this re-uires e5tremely careful
processing to a3oid bacterial contamination. Due to this procedure he is confident there ill be
no cross%contamination ith the )riginal fla3or.
