Devondale have produced a similar product to Santarium's Up & Go.
Fast Start is available in 3 flavours- Vanilla, Coffee & Chocolate.
Devondale's Fast Start (Coffee) has 2 forms of MSG ('natural flavours'- 3rd last on the ingredient list, & 407 'Carrageenan- 2nd last on the ingredient list) and not 8, as has the Santarium product. This is a vast improvement, although not entirely satisfactory.
It must be noted that Carrageenan (407) is a suspected carcinogen and is linked to immune system damage. Worrying yes, but not quite as worrying as GMO's or asparteme.
It is also disappointing to see 'inulin' listed as the 4th ingredient and the colour 150d in the coffee flavour(linked to gastro intestinal problems).
The Fast Start coffee flavour at least has 4% coffee powder & not an artificial colour instead.
So if you like such a drink, consume in moderation OR replace with a fresh orange juice or even organic milk.
