It's just a bit of whey and a shitload of maltodextrin. Nearly any food would be better than that.

yep. just googled maltodextrin and found out it has some awesome benefits! just kidding, of course.
dude check out these sides - "The consumption of maltodextrin has similar side effects and health risks as most food additives. These side effects include allergic reactions, unexplained weight gain, bloating and flatulence. Specific allergic reactions associated with the use of maltodextrin include rash, asthma, itching and difficulty breathing. If you experience any allergic reaction or other side effect after consuming maltodextrin, you should discontinue use and consult with a medical professional."

i can honestly attest to experiencing 2 of the sides listed, but wasn't aware of where they originated. needless to say i am going to discontinue use.
although i feel silly and overly humbled, i want to say a big thanks to you all for bringing down the hammer of truth. i'm an idiot for assuming it was safe. there is no oversight for these products. i need to be more vigilant in the future.

The same could be said of many foods (allergies and the like). It isn't dangerous, just a shitty source of nutrition. Use the USDA food pyramid and guidelines to put together something far better (just increase the protein to 1-1.5g per lb of LBM and consider lowering the carbs).
