People who are ill are vulnerable, often don't have people to care for
them, and Ensure is very convenient and readily available... like why
fast food is so popular... doctors know it's not the best choice but
often recommend it to patients as it's a lot better than what many
left to their own devices would consume. Ensure is a lot more
healthful a diet than your consuming a ton of fat with your low
carbing.
