6. Just placed another order................and I want you to know I LOVE this stuff. I have it many times per day. I use it in my Medifast shakes, puddings, medifast oatmeal and oatmeal cakes/pancakes too. I love the "Grandmas Apple Pie and Cinnamon Danish Swirl in my Hot sugar free Apple Cider at night. Of course I put them in my coffee and tea too. These drops make everything EXTRA good. I love my medifast and have lost 200 lbs (thats how much I love MF) and have been having Medifast for almost 2 years......so this really helps to add new life to my food plan......A BIG THANK YOU.- Patricia Morelli
