Many Health Foods have way too much sugar

Folks please do not get carried away with so called foods which say healthy in advertisements. The ASCI body in India is a self regulated body and not very strict with companies.

Paperboat, Epigamia, Raw Pressery there are hundred brands who posiiton themselves as healthy brands but have 24 gms of sugar in one small 200 ml of smoothie or 100 gms of yogurt.

Why are we letting such brands mislead consumer FSSAI?? more

Sheriff M: Thanks for writing. I get your point. My point is self interest dominates in commercial affairs and regulators can’t be relied on to look after your interest if you don’t. We have lots of experience in this regard. Clearly what you are saying is that FSSAI can’t be relied on. more  
Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is an advisory body for advertisements. Yes, it is a self regulated body and not very strict with companies. more  
The companies will stop selling these foods only when people refuse to buy them. more  
The problem is these companies are selling their products with FSSAI license more  
To the extent possible, avoid these foods. There are many desi substitutes and some of them can be adopted. more  
ASCI body is financed by these manufacturers. Let us learn to hate sweet tastes/sugars and learn to love bitter tastes of Karela more
