It is time for yet another review on fresh pasteurised milk. Kind of contradictory, don’t you think? How can pasteurised milk be fresh since it has been heated treated and processed (homogenized) and then packed into a carton? Only raw milk is fresh in my opinion. But of course, this is all marketing. Consumers will be more willing purchase products with the words “Fresh” on the labels. For milk products, I guess having the words like “Australian” and “Pure” on the label would work even better. Perferably in big fonts so that everyone can see them clearly. We do like our dairy products “fresh“, “pure” and from Australia, don’t we?

Anyway, I am here to review the Pura Fresh Australian Milk. From what I read in forums, the cows that “went” into making their milk are all grass fed. Not too sure whether this is true or not. If it is true, then it will probably be the one of the few very healthy milk in our local supermarket shelves. Price wise, slightly higher than most of the common milk brands. But sometimes, they are on offer. That is when I usually purchase them. Just last week when I walked pass Coffee Bean’s kitchen at Century Square, I saw several cartons of the Pura Fresh Australian Milk there. It seems even Coffee Bean uses them to make their coffee stuff creamy. And as you guys know, I don’t use low-fat or no-fat or skim milk anymore. Not only do they taste watery, quite a lot of nutrients are lost when milkfat is removed from the milk itself. You are consuming milk because of the health benefits right?

Okay, we have the photo of the Pura Fresh Australian Milk. In one corner, the side is “edged” slightly. Makes it all more cool.

Check out the number of times they have the words Australia and Fresh. Yes, this milk is pasteurised and homogenised. The milk is indeed imported from Australia. Hopefully, not the cow only. The Greenfield brand of milk comes from Australian cows which have been imported from Australia to Indonesia. So the milk is actually from Indonesia. But again, we have marketing at work there. However, I don’t think Pura sources their milk from cows in Indonesia, seeing that they are based in Australia.

Pura Goodness Every Day! Pura Milk is made from 100% Australian fresh milk. It has a delicious, smooth and creamy taste the whole family will enjoy. Plus it contains all the goodness of milk. Well, I certainly hope so. Our current processed food infested diet, we need all the nutrients and whatever “goodness” milk can provide us. If not, just look at the poor health of Singaporeans, especially the youngsters nowadays.

Here we have the nutrition table. And the ingredients are 100% fresh milk. In order for it to remain “fresh”, please keep it refrigerated at 2-4°C.

Manufactured by National Foods Ltd in Australia. Lets all be happy and smile like there is no tomorrow. No China milk here.

They use Visy Packaging. Cool. For a better world! I really like their slogan.

Hey, the use by date is several days away. Ya, what to do, this is not like those Ultra Heat Treated Milk which can last for months without any refrigeration.  You will need to consume them fast if you want them fresh. I think it is a good trade-off. In Singapore I don’t think we will have any problems with that, we have supermarkets everywhere which makes purchasing stuff convenient. Unlike in other countries where supermarkets are far and few between. In fact, there are even convenient stores located right underneath our flats!

Dutch Lady Fresh Milk

July 1, 2009

Hoooray, I am back with yet another one of those super interesting fresh milk review. Well, this is not exactly fresh milk but pasteurised milk which have been heated treated and packed. Of course, this does not mean that pasteurised milk is actually healthier for you than let’s say raw milk. Raw milk is definitely the best milk for you, but we can’t find it in Singapore. Since we have no choice in the matter, pasteurised milk is the next best option. The UHT (Ultra Heat Treated) milk is like “dead milk” in which quite a lot of the nutrients and vitamins present in milk have been destroyed by the high heat process. It is sad that a lot of Singaporeans believe that UHT milk is just as good as the pasteurised milk. I have seen people buying them in the cartons, most likely for their kids or for themselves.

Anyway, I am here to review the Dutch Lady Fresh Milk. I no longer consume low fat or skim milk anymore as we all know that a lot of the nutrients in milk is in the milk “fat”. So getting rid of the milk “fat” in milk is pointless, in my opinion. Might as well don’t drink milk. It is also good to know that the longer the milk have been kept in the shelves, the lower the amounts of nutrients in the milk. This is inevitable as the nutrients will “escape” from the milk.

Check it out - Dutch Lady Fresh Milk. Don’t worry, the milk inside this milk box is not green in colour. The label on the box is misleading. The milk is pure white in order to make the milk appealing to consumers, as all pasteurised milk are. Raw milk is slightly yellowish in colour, which is what milk should be.

Pasteurised “Fresh” Milk!

100% Fresh Malaysian Milk! Ya! I am surprised that Malaysia has quite a big dairy industry. In fact, even Indonesia and Thailand both have big dairy industries, but they are not very popular in Singapore. We usually get Australian or New Zealand dairy products here, which I think is okay. No offense to our neighbours, but when it comes to dairy products, I trust Australia and New Zealand more.

Here we have the nutrition table. Nothing too impressive.

For maximum freshness, store pack between 0°C and 4°C. Once opened, keep refrigerated. Wait a minute, won’t the milk freeze when subjected to 0°C environments?

Yup, manufactured in Malaysia! Dutch Lady is a brand of friesland foods.

Nothing special about this brand of Malaysia. I normally use milk to make Kefir or yogurt, so in the end, the taste doesn’t matter. I am more interested in the nutritional value of the milk, which for most milk in Singapore, is not good. Commercial milk manufacturers seemed more interested in making money than producing good quality milk, which could be the main reason why Singaporeans and a lot of other people in other countries are suffering from poor health.

Jolly Shandy Lemon

June 26, 2009

Yes, I did review the Lychee flavoured Jolly Shandy. I couldn’t believe that it tasted so bad and yet they are able to keep on producing different varieties of Jolly Shandy, so I went out and tried the original Jolly Shandy. The Lemon flavoured slightly alcoholic drink. Alas, it definitely tasted better than the Lychee. Not too sure why they went and produced the Lychee flavour - in my opinion, the sweetness of the lychee clashed with the “lager” aftertaste of tha drink. And seriously, lychee flavoured alcoholic beverage should not be most people’s cup of tea. I would rather they go for apple, peach or even blackcurrant, rather than lychee. Probably they wanted to make a drink that is very unique. Who can fault them for that? I think it is the lychee flavour that got me interested in the first place. So that actually worked.

Anyway,this Jolly Shandy Lemon’s taste is quite appealing. Of course, the “beer” aroma is not that distinct, but the lemon taste and the slight alcohol works. I remind you guys that the “beer” amount in this drink is very little, so don’t worry about drinking it. Unless you are planning to have an orgy of Jolly Shandies, you would probably never get anywhere as high as drinking a can of Tiger beer. I think tha a little alcohol is good for one’s health. In fact, even Kefir comes with a small amount of alcohol (like 0.5-2% ABV). I am guessing that the amount of alcohol in this Jolly Shandy should not exceed 1%. So, go ahead and have a blast with Jolly Shandy.

Green colour can means that this is just a mix of beer and artifical lemon flavoured drink.

Okay, Jolly Shandy is enriched with 7.5ml of Vitamin C per 100ml and contains alcohol not exceeding 0.5%! Even kids can drink this and don’t feel a single thing. But of course, I am not encouraging you to feed this to your kids.  That would be stupid. Your kids should be fed industrial milk. It should also be interesting to note that the Lychee flavoured Jolly Shandy is enriched with more Vitamin C than the lemon one. Why?

See I don’t lie. It is lemon. The refreshing taste of Jolly Shandy will quench the most demanding thirst every time. And this time, it comes with Vitamin C. Good mah, the Vitamin C acts as antioxidants.

Okay, one can contains about 323ml of Jolly Shandy. Again, you won’t get drunk!

Stupid Jolly Shandy manufacturer have to place the ingredients list around the can, making it rather difficult for me to take photo of the list. So, I have to do it with two photos.  I apologize if you get giddy. It is not my intention.

This Jolly Shandy, unlike the Lychee flavour variety, is made in Malaysia. The Lychee flavour is made in China. Weird. Probably, it is too expensive to make Jolly Shandy in Malaysia, so all new production will be shipped to China? Anyway, the ingredients are as follows:- water, sugar, beer, critic acid, flavouring, colour, carbon dixoide, ascorbic acid and stabilizer. So, I understand the major difference between the Lychee flavoured Jolly Shandy and the lemon flavoured Jolly Shandy. There isn’t any! Just a change in flavour! I just wonder what kind of beer they are using? Carlsberg?

Bet you have heard of Jolly Shandy right? I remember a couple of years back when they have this big marketing campaign regarding some big relaunch of the Jolly Shandy drink with a special lemonade and beer taste. Well, I never even bother to have a look, let alone a taste. For those who don’t know anything about Jolly Shandy, it is actually a very weak alcoholic drink - sort of like a mix of lemonade and beer. The alcohol percentage is less than 1%! Yes, barely alcoholic at all. In fact, Kefir can be fermented up to 2% alcohol. Seriously, I would not consider this alcohol at all. You will most probably not get high from drinking this, unless you consume like 5 cans per hour. You will most likely puked everything out before feeling any kick from the alcohol anyway.

The Lychee flavour Jolly Shandy is a mix of Lychee flavoured drink and beer. But judging from the labels, it seems that this has an even weaker amount of alcohol, not exceeding 0.5%. Probably due to some tax law for alcohol. If you remember a while back, I reviewed on the Bavaria Apple Malt? I had thought that this Jolly Shandy would taste exactly like the Bavaria Apple Malt, but I was wrong. The Jolly Shandy had more of a beer flavour than the Apple Malt because well….there is no alcohol in the Apple Malt. But the Apple Malt do taste much nicer than this Lychee Jolly Shandy drink. I don’t know how to describe it, but the Lychee flavour seemed to go against the slight bitterness of the “beer”. I find the overall feel of the drink disagreeable.

The can of Jolly Shandy Lychee. Not sure why in the world would they choose Lychee. No no, I like Lychee, but it seems to be out of place here.

See, it is Jolly Shandy. Pink can. Pink means that the flavour is Lychee what.

Cool, the refreshing taste of Jolly Shandy will quench the most demanding thirst every time.  And yes, comes with Vitamin C! Hahahaha!

Enriched with 8mg of Vitamin C per 100ml. This means good. Antioxidants for you.

Dude, this is produced in China - Guandong. Scared? I am a bit scared. Hope that they won’t skim on Lychee flavourings and add some other chemicals instead. I really value my life. I don’t know why, perhaps it is to save cost but the Bavaria Apple Malt from Holland cost exactly the same as this Jolly Shandy Lychee drink. Why? Shouldn’t it be much cheaper if the production cost is lower in China than in Holland?

Anyway, I have no choice but to take photos of the ingredients list because it spans around the can. The ingredients include water, sugar, barley malt, carbon dioxide,  critic acid, flavouring like Lychee aroma, colour (caramel), hops and antioxidant (Vitamin C). Wait, so where does the alcohol come from? Did they ferment the entire thing first before bottling like normal beer? If so, where is the yeast? I am getting a bit suspicious now. Don’t you agree with me that the alcohol must come from somewhere? I mean if it is not through the fermentation process, then it should be in the ingredients list. But it isn’t!

Dr Pepper!!!!

June 18, 2009

Are you guys surprised to read that I am reviewing Dr Pepper? If you have no idea who or what is Dr Pepper, it is actually a drink, very famous in America. In fact, it is on par with Coca Cola there. I have watched numerous American TV shows to know that this Dr Pepper soda drink has a good following in the United States and even Europe. They seem to love Dr Pepper over there. But what is surprising is that in Singapore, you can hardly find this drink anyway. Worst still, most Singaporeans never heard of Dr Pepper before, and if they did, they vaguely remember what it is. Not sure why the Dr Pepper drink has not made a major appearance in Singapore. Perhaps it is because in Singapore, we are already flooded with many many brands of Soda drinks, some of which are stupidly named “Anything” or “Whatever”? Or perhaps taste a bit different from the rest of the soft drinks we have here?

Anyway, I bought this from Cold Storage. I doubt that you can find this drink anywhere else in Singapore. For me, I think that Dr Pepper does have a very unique and delicious taste. But some Singaporeans might find it a bit too complex for a simple soft drink and very different from the rest of the soda drinks available to Singaporeans.

The photo of Dr Pepper. Nothing too special about the this Soda drink can.  Do note that this is the original Dr Pepper drinks. I am sure that there are a lot of varieties of Dr Pepper.

Wow, established since 1885! I wonder whether we can consider this a traditional drink?

355ml of delicious Dr Pepper ready for your enjoyment.

Hmmm….nutrition table for a soft drink…..cooooool! Okay, I admit, my photo taking skills leaves a lot to be desired. Sorry for the slightly blurred pictures.

Ahhh…ingredients include carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel colour, phosphoric acid,  natural and artificial flavours, sodium benzoate and caffeine.

Try as I might, I cannot find out in which country this is manufactured in. In my opinion, it should be manufactured somewhere in the US. For more information about Dr Pepper, you have to visit drpepper.com. And I think that it is agood idea to try out different drinks once in a while, just to widen your tastebuds. Every day drinking the same drink makes everything so dull.

Bavaria Apple Malt

June 15, 2009

No, this is not alcohol! I know that it does look like some sort of beer from Holland but it isn’t.  It is actually an apple soda. I am sure that you guys know that beer is made from malt and fermented to produce alcohol. Usually they add hops to balance out the sweetness of the malt with some bitterness. However, just think for a moment that instead of allowing this “malt” to ferment, this mixture is instead packaged into a drink for people who don’t drink alcohol. What you have here is a sweetened drink (because of the barley malt and nutritious too!) just like a soda drink. Add a little apple juice into the mix and you get yourself an apple malt drink! Interesting isn’t it? Of course, it is not good for the government since they can’t get any tax from the alcohol. But it is good for people like me who would like a refreshing drink which does not make me all tipsy.

Price wise is it about the same as a soda drink. A little more expensive perhaps - all the way from Holland! And the taste is excellent! Not too sweet (even with the sugar and the barley malt) and the apple flavour is quite unique. Unlike most apple drinks which is kind of sour, you won’t find this kind of sourness here. And the barley malt is supposed to be very nutritious. Yes, just like Milo and Ovaltine for kids, we know that barley malt is jammed packed with numerous vitamins, nutrients and minerals.

Okay, we have the Bavaria Apple Malt drink. One would think that with a name like Bavaria, this would come from Germany but we are wrong, it is from Holland.

Yes, 0% ALC! So not to worry, you won’t get drunk.

Yes, brewed in Holland. Don’t you just love the dutch and their windmills? Check out the green/red apple they have at the right corner.

See, non-alcoholic apple flavoured malt beverage. The ingredients are water, barley malt, maltose, hops, natural apple flavour, sugar and citric acid. I wonder what is the hops in there for? I never tasted any hop flavour in the drink anyways, so I guess they add only a little hops into the drink.  And too bad, they add sugar into the drink.

Again, this is to show you that there is no alcohol in the drink. So go ahead and buy for your kids. It is definitely better than the other soda beverages you see in our stores. Don’t worry about the beer-like labels on the can.

Lo and behold, imported by Victoria 88 Distributions Pte Ltd. I wonder how this Karen from Victoria 88 looks like?

I love green tea. Every day I would drink about 2-3 cups of green tea and I find it extremely refreshing. I am not very sure how do you describe it, but I like the taste of green tea - kind of like a cleanser of sorts. You feel very refreshed after drinking just one cup. Unlike most other drinks which would usually leave a sticky aftertaste, I never felt anything like this with green tea. That is why it is my choice of drink in the morning. Too bad, a lot of Singaporeans start their day with a cup of coffee instead of tea. Most Singaporeans need a caffeine kick early in the morning or they cannot function throughout the day. As I mentioned, too bad. In many ways, drinking tea is much much better than drinking coffee. Just imagine the amounts of antioxidants in that cup of green tea. Remember, antioxidants help fight off free radicals in your body. And yes, green tea do have some caffeine but not in the amounts of what coffee have.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I came across this Zenya Green Tea with Pomegranate. Well, it looks interesting, being green tea and with Pomegranate. Both of them are high in antioxidants and I can imagine the punch it provides to our body if consumed. So I bought 2 bottles of this Zenya drink.

Yes, it is red in colour! The drink itself is also red in colour by the way. Kind of shocking!

Green Tea anyone?

Well, this is real brewed from natural green tea leaf and pomegranate. No preservatives! This, I like.

If you can’t see what is written on the labels, not to worry, I have taken more detailed photos below.

Yes, this is a ready to drink Authentic Green Tea with Pomegranate Flavour - especially for people who are bored with just plain old green tea. I guess this appeals to the younger crowd. Smart marketing move. Oh, it writes to freshen your day with Zenya green tea with pomegranate, the absolute authentic green tea blended with real Pomegranate juice concentrate. Made with best quality tea leaves, gently hands-picked and bleneded with Zenya heritage recipe. And it is made from real tea leaves, Zenya may contains tea residues harmless to human health. If not opened, Zenya can be stored up to one year at room temperature. Cool, no?

No preservatives! Zenya is best served cold, no ice is needed. And you do need to shake well before drinking. The ingredients are Green tea (80%), water, sugar, Pomegranate Concentrate, Malic Acid, Sodium Citrate, Flavouring and Carmoisine. Why the need to add flavouring as this is supposed to be naturally brewed?

Ahh…made in Thailand. It seems that a lot of our foodstuff are now made in Thailand. The net weight of this drink is 500ml.

The top of the Zenya bottle. Open this and you can drink the red coloured Zenya Green Tea with Pomegranate. I actually like this drink. I would prefer it not to be that sweet (this is a tea), but overall the flavour is quite nice. Yes, you do get a little Pomegranate flavour, but it is not overwhelming.

Ya, I know, I have reviewed the Welch’s 100% Grape Juice before. And yes, it taste exactly the same as this can. But I guess this garners another look because it is just so different from the original bottled Welch’s. And yes, drinking grape juice is good for you. Not as good as eating grapes themselves, but sometimes we have to sacrifice something for convenience right? You will be surprised to see that a lot of nutrients and vitamins are in fact in the skin and the pulp of the grapes. But anyway, drinking filtered grape juice still have some of it’s benefits intact, so I would highly recommend everyone to drink grape juice. Of course, if you have the time, it would be better to eat grapes.

I am guessing that they designed this can specifically for the ladies. Most importantly, it is small and convenient to carry around in their handbag. Something which the ladies would appreciate. For me, I would rather have the big bottles and drink as much as I want per go. That small can is just not enough.

Yup, the Welch’s 100% Grape Juice in a can. You most probably cannot see with this picture, but it is very small.

Made from Concentrate with Vitamin C. I think what they are saying is that the drink is made from concentrate and there is vitamin C added. Most likely the process of making it into concentrate in the first place destroyed most of the vitamins present and they have to add some Vitamin C back to the drink. Sad, if you think about it.

Grape Polyphenol antioxidants! Good for fighting off those free radicals harming your body. We should consume more antioxidants to prevent cancer.

Alright! High in Vitamin C and no sugar added. I like! Oh, as I mentioned before, this can is small - it contains only 163ml of grape juice. Hardly enough to quech my thirst.

Cool, the ingredients are Grape Juice from concentrate(filtered water mixed with Grape Juice concentrate), grape juice, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).That’s it! Yes, generally a short ingredient lists means that the product is better than those with long ingredients list, as those comes with a lot of other processed stuff. Bad! Be glad that Welch’s 100% Grape Juice has no artificial flavour or colour.

The nutrition table for this can of Welch’s 100% Grape Juice. Nothing important here.

Nice, made in the USA! Nowadays most of the stuff we see on the supermarkets are made in either China, Australia, Malaysia or somewhere, seldom do you see those made in the USA.  Most likely if you do, it would cost a bomb.

Don’t you just love the Japanese? They seemed to come up with all sorts of weird kind of drinks. I remembered along time ago when my parents brought back a funny shaped bottle of drink which had some funny jelly like substance mixed with some funky coloured sugar water, I couldn’t help myself but to finish it all up. Well, all it matters was it was something new and interesting and had tons of sugar it in. Ya, my taste wasn’t that complex at that time. I am sure that a lot of young kids have the same “taste” as me, just look at my nephews. However, nowadays I don’t drink these kind of sweet drinks much anymore. One thing is for my health and the other is that I no longer crave for sugar. But with that said, I am still quite eager to try out new stuff, so when I was out doing some errands, I came across this Pokka Shake Jelly Grape Juice Drink which came in a very unique metallic bottle. Who here says eye candy don’t work? So, I went ahead and bought it, just for fun. And it is quite pricey too. Come to think of it, nearly everything is expensive in Singapore nowadays, even with the recession hitting us at full force.

The Pokka Shake Jelly Grape Juice Drink. Yes, this bottle is actually made from some sort of metallic material. Very very unique. And like most Japanese consumer products, very eye catching. I am sure that a lot of local companies have started to learn from the Japanese in this regards, I hope that they will also start to produce better quality stuff instead of the poor quality crap they have been manufacturing for decades.  Sometimes I wonder why Singaporean companies never collapse years ago.

Yes, looks good eh? I think the Japanese wordings at the bottom is saying that the drink contains about 10% grape juice. Look at the crytal jelly! Ahhh…..very very tempting.

Here you have the diagram telling you to shake the bottle. Other than that, I have no idea what they are saying. Oh, this Pokka drink cost S$1.30. I bought it from some small minmart at Hougang which I cannot remember the name. They call themselves Super Minimart. Interesting….

There, the Shake Shake Jelly Grape Juice Drink’s ingredients list - Fructose, Glucose syrup, grape juice, edible gum, acidulant, calcium lactate, flavour, vitamin c and emulsifier. Surprisingly very little in terms of ingredients for this drink. Normally, we would find a long long list of ingredients which we never heard before, so thank god for that. Generally, short ingredients lists are better. This bottle contains about 275ml of delicious “shake shake” jelly. Lol!

Product of Japan. Don’t play play. The Japanese are indeed very innovative. Considering that this is a pretty common product (it’s just jelly!), they have managed to reinvent it and marketed it to be some sort of “cutesy” drink. Kudos to the Japanese. And oh, this is a jelly drink. Recommended to shake the can more than 5 times before drinking, and you can enjoy a variety of texture according to how vigorous you shake it. There is also caution - contains soft jelly, may cause choking. Consume with care and jelly must be chewed carefully especially for children and the elderly. Okay.

The top of the Pokka bottle. The way they design the bottle, I have to say well done.

For those who are interested in the taste of the Jelly drink, well…..it is not bad. What is surprising is that the jelly drink is not too sweet. And the grape flavour is still quite strong.

Well, here we go again - yet another review. This time it is on the Marigold Hi-Calcium Fresh Soya Milk. Ya ya ya, everyone is talking about Soya Bean Milk as a healthy alternative to Cow Juice but seriously, you guys must look beyond the hype. First of all, even if the Soya Milk contains a lot of calcium, the important thing is whether your body is able to absorb the calcium and make use of it. The answer for Soya Milk is no, the calcium contained within is not easily absorbed as compared to cow’s milk. So this Hi-Calcium Soya Bean Milk, although does contain quite a high amount of calcium, it is not used efficiently by the body.  The proteins in the Soya Bean Milk is not complete, unlike the proteins you find in dairy products. You will need to supplement the proteins with other stuff so as to get a complete protein workout for your body. And Soya Bean does contain toxins which can be very harmful to your body. If you would like to read more about the dangers of Soy and Soy products, please read here. There are also a lot of other resources out there with information about how harmful Soy and Soy products are. However, as with all “research”, take everything with a pinch of salt and in the end, you should judge for yourself whether it is true or not.

Yes, I too have been hoodwinked by big corporations into thinking that Soy products, especially Soy milk is good for you. It is not really that good. They say that the “Asians” have been taking Soy products for centuries without any ill effects, I tell you it is wrong. My grandparents never took any Soy products except fermented Tofu, Soya Sauce and in small amounts. It is only my parents and my generation that started on Soya Milk and Bean Curd and so on. Note that nearly all the Soy products my parents consumed are fermented and should contain less toxins than the non-fermented kind. It is only recently like a few decades ago that Tofu started to make in-roads into our “Asian” diet. And my parents who took a lot of Soy products are not any healthier than my grandparents. In fact, we tend to get sick more often than not even with the massive consumption of Soy products.

No, I am not telling you to stop eating Soy products. I am saying that you should moderate the amount of Soy products. Do not replace cow’s milk with Soy milk. Do not replace dairy proteins with Soy proteins. If you like to drink Soya Milk, by all means drink it. But in moderate amounts. I like Soya Milk as well. I enjoy Bean Curd once in a while and I really love Tofu. The important thing is to think of them as perhaps a condiment or a dessert and not as a food source.

We have Marigold Hi-Calcium Fresh Soya Milk. Look at the white nice looking milk you have there, just like Cow’s milk. The real colour of Soya Milk is not like that - it should be brownish in colour. In order for them to get that kind of “whiteness”, a lot of processing is needed.

Cool, got BonePlus which includes Vitamins K &D. And the Soya Bean is naturally cholesterol free. Look they even have the Health promotion Board logo! I wonder whether the Health promotion Board really do look into what health benefits the Soya Bean confers before they approve such things?

But at least they tell everyone to eat all foods in moderation. Now that is a very smart advise.

Hooot! The ingredients includes Non-GMO Soya Beans, sucrose, soya protein, tricalcium phosphate, permitted stabiliser and emulsifier, sodium citrate, permitted flavouring, nictotinamide, calcium-D-pantothenate, Vitamin B2, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin D3. Wow, a little too much additives for me to consider them as healthy right? I mean all those Vitamins are nice and all that, but what is this flavouring, nicotinamide, calcium-D-pantothenate, sodium citrate and whatever stabilisers for? Look at the bright side, at least they use Non-GMO beans.

The American Soybean Association recommends Soya Milk as a nutritious food for daily use. And slowly our generation is getting poisoned by these “Associations”. I often wonder how these people can sleep at night knowing that they are poisoning people with such wild claims?

2 glasses of Marigold Hi-Calcium Fresh Soya Milk provide 14g of natural soya protein. If you drink so much Soya Milk per day, you are in danger and you should really cut down. I think you should at most drink about 1 cup of Soya Milk.

Manufactured by Malaysia Dairy Industries Pte Ltd. Aiya, looks like this is also made in Singapore. Singaporeans making products to poison Singaporeans is kind of sad. But seriously, Soya Milk is very delicious but I guess we just consume too much of it in our daily diet. It is perhaps time for us to realize the dangers of over consumption of Soy products.

Lol, Marigold Fresh Soya Milk - it is all in the beans! This milk is supposed to be high in calcium with Vitamins K & D. The Vitamins K & D work synergistically to help calcium absorption and improve bone strength. And they added 5 types of Vitamins B! The Soya Milk is naturally cholesterol free but they are forgetting that there are good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. It is also low in saturated fat and a source of proteins. Well, cool loh. Furthermore, it contains no preservatives & colouring and it is lactose free. Errr….of course it is lactose free - it is not dairy what!

The top of the carton. 1 litre of Soya Milk ready for me to drink. Not too worry, I am cutting down on my consumption of Soya Milk. I will probably drink about 1 glass of this Soya Milk per day at most.

As those long ear people in that Star Trek Movie say “Live long and prosper!”
