A member asked:
Will erythritol (sugar alcohol) in my protein shake result in false positive in my ua test (etg/ets)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These "health shakes" are a mix of mostly placebos. For protein, your choices include everything from soy powder to a nice steak -- both are probably cheaper.
