Hey guys 2 days ago I started taking the GNC 2200 Weight Gainer. I am taking the full serving everyday. I realized starting yesturday that for some odd reason my saliva started tasting sweet. I dont know if this is normal or bad. but my mouth for some reason taste sweet. Is this normal? should i stop taking the weight gainer?

What kind of artificila sweetener is in it? i get the same taste from some artificial sweeteners, as far as I know it isn't anything bad....

Unless you are diabetic and getting ketosis breath, but i don't think that is probably your issue here.

I don't think I'm diabetic but diabetes does run in our family. but I'm only 21 yrs old so I doubt that I have it too. taking the full serving of the weight gainer contains 80g of sugar. is that a lot?

That is a lot of sugar - what are your goals in using this product?

Wow, that is a lot of sugar. When you're done with this jug of weight gainer get a decent protein supplement and then just plain eat. That will do you more good than a weight gainer.
