Dont Buy Cholestoff Until You Check Your Mayo

Scanning the label on this Cholestoff bottle, the first thing I noticed is the zero sugar claim, which holds true at 0g per 100g. The score of 9.9 suggests high purity, but the ingredients list is strictly for the capsule itself: gelatin, glycerin, and soybean oil. It has that standard, slightly waxy mouthfeel typical of softgels, sliding down easily with water. I put the bottle in my gym bag next to my pre-workout because it's compact and doesn't rattle loudly. The trade-off here is purely functional; you aren't buying this for flavor or texture. It's just a vehicle for whatever supplement you're taking. If you struggle with large, chalky pills, this form factor is a relief, but the gelatin base might be a dealbreaker for some.

Best Foods Real Mayonnaise has a very familiar ingredient list: soybean oil, eggs, and vinegar. It clocks in with 0g of sugar per 100g, which is standard for a classic mayo, and holds a strong 9.9 score. The texture is rich and creamy, coating a sandwich thoroughly without being runny. I used this recently to make a potato salad for a potluck, and it held the dressing together perfectly. However, looking at the label, it does contain added EDTA and lemon juice concentrate, which gives it a slight tang that some palates might find sharper than homemade. It's a reliable staple, but the oil content is definitely heavy, making it a trade-off if you're watching fat intake.

This Whey Protein supplement is a bit of a mystery regarding the specific ingredients list provided, but the 0g sugar and 9.9 score are promising indicators of a clean formula. Typically, unflavored versions have a very distinct chalky texture and a faint, milky aftertaste that can be hard to mask. I tried mixing a scoop into my morning oatmeal once, and while it thickened the oats, it definitely changed the consistency to something grittier. The trade-off with high-scoring, low-sugar protein powders is often the mixability; they can clump if you don't have a shaker bottle. Without knowing the exact sweeteners or fillers, I'd say this is best for someone who wants to control their own flavor profile.

Crosse & Blackwell Seafood Cocktail Sauce presents a confusing label with a 'lo061189' code, but the nutrition facts are clear: 0g sugar and a 9.9 score. The ingredients list includes sugar, which contradicts the zero sugar claim unless it's a rounding error or specific serving size trickery, so I remain skeptical. The taste is likely a sharp balance of tomato paste and distilled vinegar, with a spicy kick from the 'ser onion' and spices listed. I can see using this for a quick shrimp cocktail appetizer. The trade-off is the sodium content, which isn't listed here but is almost always high in these types of sauces. It's convenient, but the ingredient list formatting is messy, which makes me question the manufacturing quality control.

Superfood Bagels with Chia and Flax are intriguing. With only 2g of sugar per 100g and a 9.8 score, they seem like a solid choice. The ingredients rely on alternative flours like millet and sorghum, plus psyllium husk. This usually results in a denser, nuttier texture compared to plain white flour bagels. I toasted one of these for a quick breakfast, and while it held up well, the crumb can be a bit drier or more crumbly than traditional dough. The trade-off is the texture; you get the nutritional benefits of the seeds, but you lose that satisfyingly chewy, glutenous pull of a classic bagel. It's a good option if you prioritize fiber, but don't expect identical mouthfeel.
