Mawson's Cumbrian Cola Cordial 500 ml (Case of 12)

Product Information

Rumsfeld allegedly said in a sales meeting that he would “call in his markers” in Washington D.C. to get aspartame approved and on the market. Tartaric acid or citric acid - these are used as a preservative, they're optional and can be bought from a chemist or health food shop. A long list of Ayurvedic spices and celestial goodness? Yup. It’s home-made cola, inspired by Dublin’s best barista and mixologist. (Hi Alex). Your body is made up of nearly two-thirds water, so it makes sense to drink enough every day to stay hydrated and healthy. Methanol, an alcohol-like substance, is known to be toxic to humans at high levels, but most food regulators have ruled that aspartame doesn’t contain enough of these chemicals to pose a threat to health.

Studies that fed aspartame to pregnant rabbits showed that the pups were born smaller and that mothers experienced a higher rate of miscarriages given a high dose – although EFSA claims that these levels are well above the accepted daily intake (ADI) for humans and that a person would have to drink 12 cans of diet soft drink to exceed the ADI. The success of the Kia-Ora brand subsequently declined, overtaken by rival juice producers such as Robinsons. Coca-Cola eventually discontinued all variations except sugar-free orange and sugar-free mixed fruit. Tonic water gets its bitter flavour from quinine. This has been found to interact with some medications, including digoxinand warfarin, and has also been linked with irregular heart rhythmswhen prescribed as a medication. A regular ice cream milkshake can have twice the calories of a similar sized full-sugar cola, but if you go for extras such as chocolate or biscuits blended in, the calories go even higher. When researching our list of aspartame-free drinks, we found that both diet and non-diet drinks contained other artificial sweeteners like acesulfame-K, sucralose and saccharin.

Add ground elaichi (cardamom seeds) to flavour chai in place of sugar and use semi-skimmed milk rather than whole or evaporated milk.

If you like your drink with milk, use low-fat milk – semi-skimmed, 1% or skimmed. She looked at me knowingly and paused. "Well the thing is, I don't actually know. I remember that he was an absolutely fantastic kisser but we were so drunk I don't remember the rest" she explained. "But that may be a good thing because I don't remember it being terrible but I don't remember it being fantastic either. It was...unmemorable!" she said. We both commiserated, after all it's not good to be known as terrible but is it somehow just as bad if you were unmemorable? I suggested hypnosis as a means of getting the scoop but Raquel demurred. Probably a wise thing...

Some major soft drinks have eliminated the additive from their basic recipe, but still use it in their diet versions.

Customer reviews

When looking out for this ingredient, it can be labelled as either “aspartame” or by the number “E951.” Aspartame was discovered by accident in a lab by a scientist who was trying to develop medication to treat ulcers for American drug company GD Searle. Step 1 - Place all ingredients in a medium to large saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Cool and dilute with soda water. In some products, aspartame is still being used in the UK, after being removed from equivalent products overseas – Pepsi took it out of their US diet drink in 2015, but the British arm of the company has kept using the ingredient. Cordial is popular in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries. It is not widely consumed in the United States. [4]

For people with PKU, consuming phenylalanine creates a build-up of the chemical within the body and, if left untreated, can result in brain damage, eczema, a musty smell in the body fluids, vomiting, tremors, epilepsy, mental health issues, and others. After discovering that the chemical was far times sweeter than sugar, the company tried to find a way to sell it and found a market in the food industry, particularly in diet or “sugar-free” products that are intended to be low-calorie options.

4. Fruit juice (150mls)

But according to PepsiCo, the decisions were based on consumer preferences, not the safety or health effects of aspartame.

Fruit juice is sweet already, but fruit juice drinks usually have sugar added to them as well. Before you choose a juice, have a look at the ingredients list to see if sugar has been added. The term “juice drink” is often a clue that sugar has been added, while “pure juice” means that sugar hasn’t been added. So, the million dollar question, how does it taste? Well, it tastes cola like in the same way that cola chupa chups taste like cola but it isn't Coke. BUT it's even better I think. There are so many fantastic flavours in this that it just works so well together and I can imagine making this a gorgeous caramel that could even work with meats like pork belly or making a caramel for desserts. You can also substitute with sugar with whatever sugar substitute you might like. It's closer to Vanilla Coke that regular coke but mixing it with soda water and you've got the making of a fabulous drink. This history of aspartame regulation is a long and complicated one, but there are a few key events that can describe why so many people are sceptical of the laws regarding the chemical’s safety.Tonic water might sound innocent, but like other carbonated drinks and mixers, it can be high in sugar, unless you chose “slimline” or “diet” versions. A standard serving of tonic water is often smaller, which might mean that you might drink less sugar per portion, but for the same portion size, it’s comparable to other sugary fizzy drinks (7.4g sugar per 150ml can). While these drinks are unlikely to ever be a healthy option, you can ask for changes to cut down on the calories, saturated fat and sugar. Ask for drinks to be made with low-fat milk and sugar-free syrups and avoid marshmallows on top. Keep whipped cream on top for an occasional treat and ask for a small amount rather than the regular serving.
