Advantages: A 'healthier' version to Coca Cola... Disadvantages: ...kind of
Say hello to the poor man's Coca-Cola...or should that be, the health-conscious man's Coca-Cola...Coke Zero.
Rather than the famous red packaging, Coca Cola Zero comes in black packaging, be it in the 330ml cans, 500ml bottles or bigger. It's been on sale since 2006 in the UK, and holds the slogan "Great Coke taste, zero sugar" it denotes that what you're drinking is going to be as close to the real thing...but 'good for you'. That's right, Diet Coke, take a bow but your time may have come...
What makes it better for you though? Well, that'll be the sweeteners, rather than the spoonfuls of sugar, which therefore mean 100ml of the stuff come to just 0.5 calories.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Coca-Cola Zero
No matter how many reviews I read, no matter how many people tried to tell me otherwise, I refused myself to believe that a soft drink manufactured by coca cola had no sugar or fat content, despite a much convincing name!

Perhaps, in this day in age where anything can happen, they had come up with alternatives and there really was a fizzy drink out there with such minor nutrition values! There was only one thing to do to rest my mind; see for myself!

Scott`s porage oats are milled in Cupar,Fife,Scotland and have been since 1888.
For as long as I can remember the packet has always had the familiar picture on the front,the poised Highland Shot -putter in the grain field.
During the latter part of the 1990`s Scott`s ran a successful advertising campaign featuring the actor Rory McCann.The advert is posted on Youtube if any of you have never seen it.
Scott`s oats are rolled thicker and kilned gently to give that individual taste.The oats contain soluble fibre and if they are eaten as part of a healthy diet can lower cholesterol.Oats are also a valuable source of Vitamin B complex,rich in nutrients and help keep blood sugar levels balanced.
Porage is a great favourite in our house,but we have different ways of cooking it.
My porage is made with half milk,half water,cooked in ...
