Not really diabetic related but interesting anyway.....

Gloria Hunniford reveals how manufacturers create fictional place names to get shoppers to part with their cash, and why a product described as one of your five a day could actually be bad for your health. Also featuring a look at the soups that contain a lot less than the label promises.

The program was better than I expected, but the bit about soups was a bit silly. When you buy a soup you don't expect it to be chock full of the meat if it's chicken etc. That would be a stew.

Yes ... everything is 'PRO' THIS OR 'PRO' that. Seems that we must be impressed if something is PRO, like PRO-biotic or Colgate Total PRO gum. It appears in many adverts. Still, I suppose we have words like problematic, provarication and prostitute (not sure what 'stitute' is though).
