Kellogg's Special K20 Protein Water Mix

[KentDog]

One of my co-worker's brought this into work the other day and I read the nutrition facts and it seems to be pretty good stuff. Essentially, it's a water flavoring like Crystal Light except instead of zero calories, it's got 30 (5g protein, 5g dietary fiber, 1g other carb, 0g sugars, 0g fat). Seems good to me, any thoughts?

I bought the pink lemonade and strawberry kiwi kinds to drink at work and will give my full review tomorrow.

I don't know what Red #40 is, but AFAIK the rest doesn't look too bad at first glance.

Basically Splenda I believe

k2o protein water sweeteners

the artificial sweeteners are sucralose, the base used in splenda but 600-900 times sweeter, and acesulfame potassium, more commonly known as ace k. the sucralose is thought to be fine, however, in lab tests ace k is said to cause cancer in animals.
