Is Secure with Soy Ok for those of us with thyroid disease?

I wouldn’t use anything with Splenda.

I saw my cousin (attorney) slide across a table at a posh restaurant. He yanked a Splenda package out of his 5 year-old hands.

It was embarrassing, but it confirmed what I know about Splenda.

When I purchase vitamins, food items, etc., I am always reading the labels. I not only have a thyroid problem, but am allergic to sulfites and strawberries. My husband is now pre-diabetic and I not only watch the sugars but the carbs as well. Yes, I love stevia or truvia and will not purchase anything with an ose at the end. To me, that is extra sugars and NOT a sugar substitute. In his Secure products there are 5 grams of sucralose and 5 grams of added sugars. No wonder people flock to this and say it is absolutely delicious. I would love to see no added sugars and no
xylitol on products.

Thank you all for your advice and information. I thought that since Andrew is selling his Stevia product, Sucress that he was heeding our suggestions to use Stevia in his Secure shakes in lieu of fructose, and other very bad for you sugars. Obviously not! I’ve been using Stevia for years due to several autoimmune diseases, and have cut out all bad sugars which cause inflammation .
You would think that at the high price Andrew is charging for his shakes, he was using Stevia not ‘bad sugars’. Oh well, this is why I stopped buying his Jugs of Secure years ago and only get ‘Clean’ protein from Dr Amy Myers’ website.
Again, thank you all for clearing this up, as well as agreeing that Soy is bad for thyroid disease.

I think the stevia confusion began because the TS includes the new Sucrose packets. I emailed HSN customer service and they mentioned they had read there was sucrose (which is like sttevia) included in the TS – but it’s not in Secure. I then checked the ingredients and found that almost half the calories in Secure come from carbs (sugars). The second ingredient listed is Fructose, then Vegetable Creamer, then Artificial Flavor; further down the list is Sucralose (Sjplenda). I agree with Andrew that Secure tastes good and I seem to have become addicted to my morning shake so I am going to once again order my 300 shakes and accept the fact that I am adding 30 carb calories to my day. Chances are that if those 8 carb grams were removed, Secure would be healthier but not enjoyable.

Good Morning Everyone,

Many Blessings!

I would never take soy no matter what he says. After all he is salesman. His ingredients in his shakes like someone else says is garbage. If you have a thyroid condition do not take soy. I also wrote tp hime to change to another sweetener like stevia and also got no answer.

I hope it’s true that Andrew has switched to Stevia but would like to know how you got that information janiebyrd. Would be so happy if it were true.

janiebyrd, why not go to Andrew’s website: http://www.procapslabs.com to pose this question. He does have a live chat area and that person may be able to help. Or you can call: 1-800-800-1200
His staff is quite knowledgeable and may be able to help with the soy question and the sugar substitute.

Where do you see he’s using Stevia now instead of garbage Sucralose?
