Superfood - 18grains


I have recently heard a lot of advertisement on Superfood over the radio, tv, direct sales, friends....

1kg of Good Morning 18 grains costs RM70+ in Kota Kinabalu, displayed in the supermarket. Last night while watching Astro 经典名曲歌唱大赛2017, I continuously saw the advertisements over and over again. 

This powdery drink is portrayed as a healthy drink, meant for all ages.  I don't understand why purple sweet potatoes only costs around RM5 to RM8 per kg, depending on where you buy, end up RM70+ in powdery form in a tin.  


I couldn't help but to find out the ingredients in this tin.


When I added up the ingredients of the 18grains, they only consist of 30% of the whole tin. I feel distasteful to find non-dairy milk and fructose to be the ingredients in a tin too. I believe these two would be more than 50% of the whole tin. 

How harmful is non-dairy milk and fructose to the body can be easily found on the website.  This is as bad as Malaysia popular 3-in-1 coffee.

The nutrition facts do not reflect the ingredients listed.


I believe in real food, if we can buy fresh purple sweet potatoes and other ingredients from the stores, why go for the processed food? And pay so much more for what meant to be harmful to your health?
