I brought 4 paper boat drinks so I could write about them, aam rass, jamun kala khatta, jal jeera and aam panna.


now before I talk about these drinks and specifically about aam panna, I will need  to talk a little bit about myself or I will not be able to do justice to  this review.


Over  the last many years, I have not only severely cut down on added sugars, but I have also developed  a craze for good oils, good fats, nuts and seeds.


Once  you start to wean off sugar and start using sweetness by way of cherries, berries, mangoes, dates, figs  and you know what I mean, use natural sugars ie fructose. your skewed sense of sweetness diminishes as you relish the natural taste .


After a while if  you are given anything with too much added sugar, its almost a taste shock, if  you do not believe me one may try to wean off sugar and try this . Your  taste buds get so sensitive to added sugars that you know instantly as it will feel like a surge of sweetness that's  intolerable . Its a little sickly.


All the paper boat drinks I have mentioned tasted  otherwise great, spicy and tangy but it clearly felt, that they have oodles of added  sugar. The best of  the lot is jamun kala khatta, followed  by aam rass and aam panna .


I can tell you all, your sweet senses have been skewed  like mine had been for decades, almost all my life barring the last few years .Only once  you cut down refined sugars, you will really appreciate natural sweetness a lot and develop a disgust for extra sweetness and you will be more sensitive than anyone else to test it .


I must have said this almost dozens of times in my reviews  now, that it makes me feel guilty of repetition, but for the benefit of those who are reading me first time, sugar is  not a health food, sugar is a drug that has potential for abuse as  its highly addictive and we must break our sweet obsession with added sugar and keep it under 6 teaspoons or  24  grams a day, at all costs.


If my words and verdict counts for anyone .paper boat products are sweet like crazy because of added sugars . Otherwise  since  they use lemon, spices and condiments, they feel different .


Aam panna has some traditional wisdom, its a temperature buster, a body coolant, digestive and anti dyspepsia with the goodness of raw mangoes and lemon, be sure you are getting a good share of vitamin C, that is an immunity builder.


As  my love for sugars was  diminishing my love for good fats was turning into an obsession . I started to sweeten my stuff with sugar alternatives like figs, dates, stevia, jaggery and more, I started to collect oils like a stamp collector, filtered cold pressed oils like mustard, sesame  and groundnut, cows desi ghee,  the extra virgin olive oils, pure olive oils, coconut oils, cold pressed and virgin, coconut cream, coconut milk(these are all fats)- I just had a virgin pincola with pineapple juice and 100ml coconut milk, to counter the sweet component, there is a lot of coconut oil on my head and my face right now as I  type.as I said it's an obsession I don't wanna rid myself of.


Kashmiri walnuts kernels without shells and vacuum packed  that I ordered from ebay will be home tomorrow in all probability and pistachio I ordered  today off amazon India will be here in 3-4 days . Cashews are almost always at home .These are all good sources of fats, they are proven brain tonics and help in alzheimer's disease, dementia, add, adhd etc .


Sugar on the other hand is a sure shot brain cell killer . While the former is heart protective and makes  you lose  stubborn fat, the latter does  the opposite, while the former douses inflammations the latter flares it . While good fats signal early satiety, sugar deludes your hunger and interferes with the satiety signals and you end up eating more .


I don't know why it's so hard to get. I hope and pray we all can see this, just try it for a few weeks and see  the difference, it's a major .


Though the drink is priced at Rs 30, I paid just 19 at d'mart. I also feel it should only sell at 19 and that should be the MRP. @30 I would rather have a tender coconut drink instead, in my area for that price we get mega sized coconuts . Most of  the drinks are mainly flavoured with very little actual fruit pulp and there is no justification to charge as much .


Btw I love sweetness in my life too, when I feel like it I reach out for raisins and dates, simple.


I practice what I preach, and my knowledge is simply not bookish or google-ish for the sake of writing reviews as I was once accused  by the only guy to distrust me on Ms. yet another felt or hinted  the same when he said, "i wonder how much research have you done, before writing all this " . =Pls check the 2 screenshots that maybe give you an idea  that, I mean every word I say, its not for name sake its my life style.=
