I am relatively new to the list and have only posted once before, but thank
you for saying exactly what I was thinking!!  The ingredients list for
Vitamite sounds really scary. People like me who have ulcerative colitis
which has caused or coincided with my LI, should be aware that all the
chemicals and the refined sugars and especially carageenan can really
complicate our digestion.  I wonder too, what is the advantage of Vitamite
over Soy Milk and Rice Milk???  Does anyone know.  Is it just a sugar and
flavor thing?  If so, I'll stick to my Rice Dream.
