The Bill Phillips Right Light Shake has been touted as a favorable meal replacement shake, and upon first glance it does seem promising. However, clever marketing doesn’t always correlate with high quality ingredients, which is why we looked closer at what was being offered with this product.
The protein blend found here is from whey and milk, with an added amount of vitamins and minerals, all at over 50% of the recommended daily allowance. The company has also added a probiotic blend to help aid in digestion, as well as green tea extract, fiber, and much more. A good start indeed, but it derails when you look at some of the added ingredients.
Sucralose – This form of sugar is an inexpensive way to sweeten, and can be a potential health risk. Some companies promote this as a harmless derivative of real sugar. Some clinical reports have linked sucralose consumption with gastrointestinal problems, seizures, dizziness, migraines, blurred vision, blood sugar increases and weight gain.
Right Light starts with a good amount of benefits, but then sweetens their mix with sucralose, which is a known component that can have adverse health effects. It’s for that reason that we can’t give this our highest rating, or rank it higher.
