What's the other 43.6% ?
milk
Milo

Marketing has most parents thinking that it's a health food.
Oh wait that's right marketing totally doesn't work on anyone, sorry.
It does if you voted for the 2 major parties that drove Milo prices so high with privatisation that purchasing a bag of sugar makes more sense than buying Milo. You have lost so much money because of this. Also, Sharp Aquos S2
And remember it is 4.5star health rated so stock up and eat it by the spoonful. Don't bother with milk as milk is only 4 star rated.
it is 4.5star health rated
Compared to products in a similar category…
You need to educate yourself about how health ratings work…
A product with 46.4% sugar having a 4.5 health star rating?.
If other products in the same category have a lot more, then yes…
It is a relative comparison to those products…
It's a ridiculous and misleading system. What constitutes a similar category? What are the boundaries?
What can and can't it be compared to?It's a ridiculous and misleading system.
It's only misleading if you don't know what it's meant to tell you… It is just for comparing similar products.
Nesquick Chocolate is 80% sugar…
So if you're going to have a powdered chocolate milk drink, Milo is probably one of the better choices.
It's a ridiculous and misleading system
Why are you expecting marketing to be anything else?
The health star system is designed to dupe naive, ignorant consumers who are stupid enough to have exposed themselves to so much marketing that they no longer differentiate between real and false information that they consume.
This leads to them poisoning themselves and their children whilst thinking they're being healthy.
The star rating is not based on comparison to products in same category. It is simply based on how the contents contribute to risk of developing chronic disease. (i.e. are they high in sugar, fat or sodium vs do they have vitamins, fibre etc.)
The catch is that the rating for products like milo and cereals is based on recommended way to eat it. (i.e. it is rated based on nutrition when combined with milk).
What I think JV is getting at is that the ratings for a product should be compared with something else from the same category. i.e. you should compare it to ovaltine, nesquick etc.

Gimli's post is the first correct post on the ratings system.
Milo achieves 4.5 stars by recommending that it be used with skim milk, this is despite less than 7% of consumers combining Milo with skim milk. If the rating was issued on the product alone, it would get 1.5 stars.
A few years ago, the ACCC were pushing for traffic lights, this was dismissed by the food industry as it made artificially sweetened food and beverages (like coke zero, pepsi max) look healthier than they were.
Not sure why you're getting down voted this time. You're absolutely correct.
I'm quite sure Milo's 4.5 star health rating is given only when added with milk. Without it, it only gets a 1.5 or 1 star health rating (I can't remember exactly). Milo was in the news about this only a few months ago.
Exactly, so many products are like this. (The other big one is breakfast cereals).
'coz water is 5star, minus 0.5 for milo ;)
Prefer Otis
Made from oats?
What's the discount?
And how much is it per 200g?
The Magic Pill

what is the magic pill?
Brown sugar and powdered milk are cheaper
Chuck in Coco Powder and make it "Youlo" likely 50% cheaper than Milo, easily 5 Stars
Only dummies would seriously think it’s a healthy drink.
Did I just log into a health forum, I thought I was on Ozbargain..l
Diabetes is not a bargain, it's expensive.
Milo has 46.4% sugar & 10% fat.
