Sainsbury's No Added Sugar Orange and Mango squash

Advantages: Cheap, chearful and makes a large quantity
Disadvantages: not very pleasant taste, bad ingredients and not very healthy

...Sainsbury's no added sugar orange and mango squash sounds delightful. And also sounds on first hearing very healthy. However it is far from it, because if you take a little nosey at the printed ingreidents you'll find a whole host of baddies. Including E numbers, preservatives, artifical colours and tonnes of sweetners. Which is why theres no added sugar, because they've added something much worse. A cheap option in this litre bottle that is enought o make up to about 10 to 12 litres dependant upon required concentration. It's the ideal choice for entertaining large numbers of people at a low price of only 89p. The packaging is a recyclable tall bottle which is see through with a blue cap as shown in the pic, and has an orangey red label with white bit on the back. Taste: depends upon how weak or strong you make the mix up to be. I...

Review of Sainsbury's No Added Sugar Orange and Mango squash

Usually museli without sugar.

Advantages: Tasty, low sugar, low fat.
Disadvantages: Not cheapest.

...I do like museli, and am on a bit of a healthy eating kick right now. Being diabetic I am always on the look out for low or no sugar varieties of foodstuffs. Most museli, believe it or not, is full of sugar and/or saturated fat. Alpen no added sugar is just that, no added sugar, which is NOT the same as no sugar (sorry Ciao, the category is slightly wrong). The sugar that is in this product is natural sugars from the raisins mainly, and totals just 6.3 gms per 40 gm serving, which is about 7% of the total sugars one should have in a day, well, less for me, but infinitely better for me than most other cereals or a big fat fry up (Saturdays only, followed by serious exercise). I prefer to buy the 1.3 kg plastic packs full of this as it lasts longer and is more cost effective that way. The packaging is pretty much the same as ordinary...

Review of Alpen No Added Sugar

A taste of the Swiss Alps.

Advantages: Tastes delicious, healthy.
Disadvantages: A bit more pricey than other mueseli, but nicer.

...and light headed. You are better off having a good breadkfast. There are lots of breakfast cereals available. There is so much variety, you could spend ages in the supermarket isle. I tend to look for the healthier ones now like Alpen. About Alpen. * * * * * * * * * Alpen is muesli. There are various types of Alpen, but I am concentrating on the museli with no added sugar. Alpen is made by Weetabix which is a well known brand. It contains 100% natural ingredients. It is made from wholegrains (recommended on he GI diet), rolled oats, juicy raisins and slivers of roasted hazelnuts and almonds. The no added sugar Alpen is also available with sultanas, dates, apricots, pistachios and hazelnuts. As they say, it is the original Swiss style muesli. Rolled oats are a well known source of slow release energy that make you feel full...

Mayhem - Ordo Ad Chao

Advantages: Once you listen to black metal of this ilk there is no going back to the more traditional.
Disadvantages: People do not listen to this type of music with an open ear and this album is a tough one

...With Ordo Ad Chao, Mayhem have taken the immutable principles of black metal and have created an album that, I believe, along with the music of Deathspell Omega, starts to redefine what black metal is. Black metal used to be an excersise in making essentially very melodic music fast, atmospheric and controversial. The cutting edge of black metal is now very different. The one weak point in most black metal is the use of defined melody, harmony that is essentially no different to other music and is just presented in a 'black metal' idiom. What Mayhem have created here is a sound that bears little to no resemblance to old black metal yet is more black than the likes of darkthrone or ulver. Honestly this is quite a special album. It truly delves into very dark audial territory that has been rarely trodden before and quite...

SPF 45, cheap sun protection lotion.

Advantages: Cheap, good quality.
Disadvantages: Hard to find.

...I am reviewing SPF 45 not SPF 8 as in the picture, Ciao will not/cannot accept new product proposals at the moment so this seems to be the only way of doing this. I know some of you will gleefully 'jump' on this as being in the wrong place, go ahead, feel free. Surprisingly Ciao also do not ask at the bottom if it is SPF 45, they only go up to SPF 30, c'mon Ciao, sort it out, people are leaving in droves. Never heard of No-Ad products? Not surprising as they do not advertise, yet have been going sucessfully in the U.S since 1960, you can get more info on the company, what they do, what they believe in and so on here: http://www.no-ad.com/ No-Ad factor 45 is as simple as you might think, a factor 45 sun tan lotion, or to be correct 'Sun Protective Lotion'. As sun tan lotions go it is perfectly adequate, containing pretty much all...

Review of No-Ad Sun Block Lotion

Cut down on sugar without losing the taste

Advantages: Great taste, natural ingredients, no added sugar
Disadvantages: Still high calorie and has added salt

...As you will know if you have read my opinion about Alpen Original (and if you haven?t why not? LOL!) I love Alpen and could happily eat it any time of the day. Since being diagnosed as a diabetic I have been trying very hard to control my blood sugar levels using as low a dose of tablets as possible, so I have been trying to weed out products containing sugar. As I said I love Alpen Original and was dubious as to how I would feel about a sugar free version, but I decided to give it a go. The Alpen boxes all have much the same design apart from the fact that the different types are in different coloured boxes so when you?re looking for Alpen No Added Sugar in the supermarket this is the one in the blue box. As with all the Alpen cereals it is made by Weetabix, which initially surprised me as I thought Weetabix only made...

Babylon A.D.: how to destroy creativity

Advantages: Some alright stunts
Disadvantages: Studio interference, horrendous script and acting

...note: also appears on my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, and Dooyoo! Babylon A.D. is a film branded as ?pure violence and stupidity? by even its own director, Mathieu Kassovitz, who further resolves that ?parts of the movie are like a bad episode of ?24??. Whilst Kassovitz?s claims that Fox seized much of his creative and directorial control would surprise few, Babylon A.D. is still a sloppily directed and poorly acted film from every angle. It is incredibly unfortunate for all involved that the film is so ill-conceived when noting the considerable promise at hand ? fans of action heavyweight Vin Diesel have no doubt been chomping at the bit to witness his return to the realm of explosions and effects extravaganzas, since his last (albeit mediocre) effort to that effect, in The Chronicles of Riddick. As far as high...

Review of Babylon A.D. (DVD)

2000AD

Advantages: A good mix of stories constantly changing
Disadvantages: You might not enjoy EVERY story, and it's gutting if you miss an issue

...2000AD.. The Galaxy's Greatest Comic! It's a weekly comic that most newsagents stock (sadly, normally in the kids section) and features five 6-page stories per issue, the most famous character being Judge Dredd. And I owe it to John Wagner et al to point out the movie was sub-standard pap... This is the best advertisement for British creative talent around, but sadly most creators disappear to America for the money and use up all their great ideas on the superhero-churning machines that are DC and Marvel - except Grant Morrison who has way too much imagination... So what 2000AD offers it's readers is opportunities to enjoy up-and-coming fresh-faced creators mixed in with a few old school stalwarts. And that is the best thing, because there will always be at least one story you enjoy in this anthology mag to keep you interested...

Review of 2000 AD

Thinner slice but twice as nice

Advantages: Healthy, wholegrain, natural, low fat and calorie, not expensive
Disadvantages: Break easily, packaging doesn't protect them well

...To accompany my 'Kallo thick slice slightly salted' rice cakes, I also picked up a pack of these, 'thin slice no added salt' for sweet toppings. These cakes are square, as opposed to round and are, as the product describes, very thin and delicate and at 0.5cm thick, pressed rice puffs to from a solid but very light square. They come packaged in quite a shiny white and lilac wrapper, which is also square as it wraps itself around the the rice cakes. The design is the same as my previous review of Kallo thick slice slightly salted rice cakes: A field with siloettes of scarcrows, horses etc... and the Kallo logo, which highlights - 'No added salt' and 'Organic, wholegrain'. I love the light lilac top, being my favourite colour, plus, it catches your eye on the shelf. To be honest, there should be an extra cardboard layer inside to...

Ad-Aware 6 Nearly Perfect

Advantages: Free, quick to download,
Disadvantages: misses some spyware

...Where would we be without Ad-Aware, nowhere fast on the internet that's for sure. It always surprises me how many tracking cookies and spy ware land themselves on my PC daily. Spyware varies from harmless cookies to aid logging in the next time you visit a site and remembering your favourite pages on a website, to tracking all your online activity, popping up ad's all over the place, to letting Trojan's in leading to no end of problems. I was using Ad-Aware 5 which was ok but did have a lot of drawbacks design wise (the layout was lousy and there was no auto update included). I downloaded Ad-Aware 6 from www.downloads.com brilliantly fast (for a dial-up download) and even better still a free version! Ad-Aware installed quickly no registration or serial codes needed, a quick re-boot and I was ready to use it. The first thing I...
