Checkers Africa Limited Chocolate Custard vs Malta Guinness Can 330ml

• Sugar (Sweetener) — Offers sweetness but as added sugar contributes to high glycemic load, raising risks for blood sugar spikes, weight gain, tooth decay and diabetes with frequent intake.
• Egg Yolks (Binder/Emulsifier) — Adds richness, protein and nutrients like choline for brain health but high in cholesterol and a common allergen, posing risks for those with sensitivities or heart conditions.
• Carrageenan (Stabilizer) — Prevents separation to maintain creamy texture; ongoing debates about potential gut irritation and inflammation lead to caution for sensitive digestive systems.

• Barley Malt (Base/Flavor Provider) — Source of some B-vitamins, amino acids and minerals from malted barley; positive for energy metabolism but contains gluten posing risks for intolerant consumers and adds to overall carb load.
• Sucrose (Sweetener) — Refined sugar that delivers high glycemic load leading to rapid blood sugar elevation; frequent intake linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and cardiovascular risks due to excess calorie intake.
• Caramel (Coloring Agent) — Provides the characteristic dark hue; generally safe in small amounts but certain caramels may contain compounds like 4-MEI with potential carcinogenic concerns at very high lifetime exposures.
• Carbon Dioxide (Carbonating Agent) — Creates effervescence for refreshing mouthfeel; safe for most but may cause temporary bloating or discomfort in sensitive individuals.
