Do you trust popular health drinks? Do let us know in the comments.
Nope
Hahaha
Hii palki ma'am
Indiando sent have the strict standards like EU or US,I'm looking forward to a pizza review by dominos,the so called cheese is actually OIL that we are eating...
Nope... It's just sugar
"Should we discuss children's health on reels"
Yes, when mainstream media fails to create such awareness, then general public will turn to social media for consumption of such content. Use this as a wake up call and create better content intended towards public education and awareness topics.
Agreed. Discuss on any social media and also site evidence for the claims made.
And the fact that his claims were later backed by multiple scientist and even the government asked bournvita to get rid of their false advertising
Rightly said!
When the regulatory bodies are useless, it's the information that comes in this format that sparks curiosity to further scope out facts. So there's nothing wrong. This is a rare occassion on which I disagree with palki
@@muralisaripalli164 When you actually are informed deeply, there are a lot of things to disagree with her and her news channel.
He’s doing god’s work. Hold these giant corporates accountable so that we don’t turn into an obese, addicted society wracked by lifestyle diseases. The FSSAI should really turn the screws on misleading claims
Can't verify if those claims are true. Same thing was said in this video if you full saw it.
@@divanshu5039 Anything that is 50% sugar cannot be a "health drink". There are vitamins even in pizza. Doesn't mean you would call it a healthy food. Very flawed argument by bournvita.
@@divanshu5039 use ur common sense its "sugar"
Don't make idiotic comment. Don't drag god into man made issues. One man's food is another man's poison. So exercise discretion and have some common sense. The best you could do is restrain yourself if you think it harms.
@@jimmatrix7244 why don’t you Google the phrase “doing god’s work” before making a fool of yourself here. Do you want to have a huge portion of your taxes to be spent on healthcare like in the US? Because people like you brought them to where they are
Going to a Doctor these days doesn’t get you anywhere; especially if you’re a diabetic. I think the influencer bringing awareness is justified.
You are wrong bro, you feel that because you get free advice with searched from Google....
Thats because you want a miracle all of of a sudden without putting your own efforts in improving your health….Neither your own efforts nor the doctors advice/treatment alone can bring change….there has to be a combination of these two for good health! So pls stop blaming anyone blindly.
@@stuartlittle5583 stop being judgemental. There are 126 likes 👍
Yes, AI will soon replace Doctors and you’ll be completely lost in the shuffle.
He seems to be right the doctors themselves are just going against their code of ethics following what MRs suggest them to, rarely any doctor these days would prescribe u any medication from his own knowledge, Im personally experienced, My doctor gave me a 5 day anti biotic when I had fever on very 1st day, he then told me to take tests on 4th day of fever which was a malaria +ve then again new set of anti biotics.... this is how doctors fool patients@@rajukhodifad5352
Doctors can be outright wrong, they can be excellent in their field but not necessarily give right diet advice. For that always consult a dietitian. 1 of my cousin is a doctor who literally drinks 3-4 colas in a week and is obese.
I'm disappointed with Palki's take on this. Didn't expect Palki to stay neutral, she should have taken a stance which benefits the consumer. In a country where most people don't even read the ingredients or if even they do, they don't understand the harmful nature of some ingredients, it's important for a genuine and fact based advice, even if it's from some influencer. Instead she suggests that people should read the labels for themselves. We call agree that those artificial flavors and colours are no good for your kid. It's almost as if she's endorsing Bourn Vita, but considering that the company sued that influencer, no wonder she was afraid to go against them.
its called media for a reason only fake news is spread nothing good,attack the one who is doing something good first .
as carbury provide ads to nrws network so neutral
.
This take from Palki almost sounded as a Mondalez spokesperson.
Brushing the dust under the carpet, denouncing the creds of the Revant by stereotyping him as a "Health Influencer".
Paisa bolti hay 😂
Always better to read labels. Everyone has a smartphone and internet connection nowadays 😅
The claims made by the influencer about Bournvita have sparked a heated debate online, with many people questioning the ingredients and nutritional value of the popular drink.
It's good as companies will somewhat be more cautious before making any false claims to fool ppl.
In general, avoid drinking anything artificially made. Whether this drink or any others
Good dats why indian kids found of sugary products coz of childhood habits
The issue is that all foods consumed in a day when combined give more than the daily average sugar, salt , artificial flavorings & color, msg & what not. That's where the danger lies in outside & processed food - the overall intake of ingredients that are a risk to mental & physical health
Palki’s photo showed that Bournvita is 73% sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s not a health drink.
Never thought Palki will be so sold out. The person is 100% right.
Agreed. This was weird.
She has many stupid takes.
Lol did u watch the whole video?
He started the video at 0:00 and ended at 0:00 after commenting..@@24jithu24
@@24jithu24 LOL yes we did. What the influencer said was nothing wrong and then later govt sent notice to Bournvita company.
I think that Cadbury has failed to address the issues raised by the video-maker squarely. It has blandly said that the ingredients have regulatory approval. In India, what a regulation prescribes can be influenced by the business houses. The concerns raised in the video, though not supported by evidence, remain unaddressed. The video-maker was intimidated into silence by the threat of law suit, which he could ill-afford to defend.
True
Indians have too much "HOPE".
In government, in religion, in politicians, in future of India despite it will be the worst affected country by global warming.
Our ancestors were like that too, like too much HOPE in Gandhi.
@@49nishant28 the ones who had hope in gandu ji had no mistake. Our ancestors were also those who made bharat the greatest and richest civilization on earth, established moral and righteousness which is dharma. Produced architectural marvels which cannot be replicated by modern technology. Be proud of your roots. Problem is, a common man's understanding of history starts with Mughal and ends with Britishers. The real history of atleast 15k old civilization is hidden from us. Once you will read that, your perspective will change.
@@49nishant28We lost our roots and started following west is the main reason we're 💩 these day's unlike thousand year old rich India😅. People literally bashes ayurveda, yoga and ancient indian science without any logical reasons, that's how dumm we became. We always want validation from west despite our ancient india being vishv guru name, despite it's not driven by capitalism we dismiss it like its nothing. Hypocrisy man! is peaking in Indians
@@DM-zb8hw Ridiculous thing is it is not taught in school how rich we were, we only taught that poor India was looted by Britishers and we're Still recovering from it. Average person knows sht about India and looks like were losing our identity while chasing west
Last year one doctor asked to not give any kind of health drink(bounvita, horlicks, complan, anything else)to our 4 year old . He said those are high on sugar and is the reason why he was falling sick again and again and when he stopped he had healthy weight gain, less sickness and yes more energy. Now he drinks either milk only or haldi milk or dates milk. Thanks to the doctor who saved us🙏🏻
The influencer did a great job. We all know these facts but we are not comfortable speaking on large scale about this. We need more people like this who can question these big corporates so that they reduce false marketing.
I just want to leave a thank you note for the influencer… highlighting the red flags is an important thing to do…this video is a direct outcome of what he posted… I am happy that we are talking about what goes into these products. More awareness and transparency is needed.
Certainly there is an information gap which influencers are bridging - what is wrong with that? This particular video raised awareness on an unhealthy children drink - what is wrong with that? Certainly the agencies aren’t doing their job.
But what credentials do influencers have? Instead of relying on the influencers if one looks at info on the packets it will be much useful.
You can /should NOT consume knowledge specially related to Health / fitness in 30-60 seconds video reel which is made for pure reason to go viral with some Masala or ridiculous claims without fact-checking
The wrong is spreading misinformation. When a qualified health professional makes reels the probability that the information is false is low.
@@rofllolexbornvita lover detected
Wrong is that many times stating things as facts without scientific backing creates a panic situation among targeted audiences 😢
Lol No Scientist would recommend such ingredients
😂
There are some who will not only certify it but will also appreciate its benefits if you pay them the right amount. Corruption is everywhere.
You poor soul have no idea how world works.
From blindly supporting government to blindly support big companies…. Kudos 👏
Forget influencer, I can’t even trust television as our govt doesn’t ask the operators for fact checks
So true 😂
Very true 👍
I fear more govt rather than terrorist
Very true
Before asking influencers to display credentials (which btw is important), why not dare to ask the companies to be transparent with their scientific research? Companies have a way of obscuring reality through complex scientific terms - that there is no verifiability possible. Added sugar is a health problem - particularly in India. If we do not want pharma companies to benefit out of the billion dollar business of diabetic diagnostics and treatment, we should question Bournvita.
Not many ppl know sugarfree sweets are not sugarfree..ppl dont want to research
10/10
Bournvita and all other milk powders are nothing but sugar and random flavor ingredients. The good nutrition you get is from the milk.
I remember the days Nutella was considered healthy
Let alone Nutlella, in the 40s and 50s Cigarette was considered healthy. Camel Cigarette was a brand recommended by Doctors apparently. Hopefully not the same doctors the anchor asked to contact about Bournvita.
As the guy said Bournavita is junk with loads of sugar. Let kids have Ragimalt one of the healthiest drinks for kids.
Let kids eat meats and eggs and fish.
No grains can compare with nutritional profile of meats.
@@SunilKumar-nf7ft But fish has micro plastic in them due to polluted ocean,. ....and forgot to mention, meat has loaded harmones in them...😮
Once ragimalt becomes popular, they will release a poisoned version of ragimalt too.😅
Wicked corporations thrive on the ignorance of people.
@@marty9404 yup true the cheap and so called better version 🤣
@@sachinisgyeh sab chocolate drink kya hain tumhe bhi pata hain...kyu support karte ho choc drink ka
This video is a prime proof of Palki's hypocrisy. She goes on different podcasts and claims that as journalists we should take a stand, and here she simply sits on the fence and criticises both sides. Just a few days ago, Mondelez (parent organisation of Bournvita) agreed to reduce the high sugar levels of their product, but Palki criticises or rather belittles the entire influencer industry. Granted that most of them are not upto much good, but then neither is most of the news industry too. One of the reasons why people may reach out to influencers is because sometimes they may take a stand that global established media is afraid to. I understand that you are trying your best not to get a lawsuit from Bournvita, but that didi not stop you from making a similar stand on Palm Oil. Reels are indeed not the ideal source of discussing children's health but neither is reels an ideal source of news too, yet Firstpost launches reels everyday.
Everything that's marketed for children has dangerously high amount of sugar, sodium, chemical preservatives, additives, anti caking agents and acidity regulators.
Truth nicely said. 👏🙂
Not just for kids, all factory produced stuff have that
the sugar part was enough for me to stop using bournvita myself and for other around me. so i thank that guy. and moreover, i feel much energetic after that step. so all thanks to him
last 15+ year I’m taking that thing 😅🥶 i knew that it has tons of sugar but I love it 😂😂…now it’s time to 🛑 stop ✋
Lol you needed this influencer for that?
Read the ingredient labels before buying products. It's simple enough no?
@@gsreads sometime we miss/ignore the very basic things in life. maybe this was it for me. well, atleast i can correct it now.
@@chotadon967 congratulations 🎊🎊
@@gsreads I'm sure he is the same guy who Vote a certain party because of his clerics said to vote 😅
We live in the age of information - the influencer did a good job (whether or not he is ‘qualified’ is secondary - the label on the back of the product already displayed the information which he was discussing).
I’m not sure how I feel about this take by Palki. It almost seemed like she was trying to blame the guy for simply highlighting obvious facts, as opposed to the company that actually makes this product.
(‘The Dangers of Following Health Influencers’ as is displayed on the bottom of the screen almost makes this sound like a hit-piece funded by big FMCG corporations aka sponsors.)
I think preventative health is soooo important. I remember drinking milo as a kid, and often despite the sugar in milo, parents added extra sugar. Same with my friends and cousins. I fell victim to the sugar cycle. As a 30 year old, I am now a victim to sugar and suffer from prediabetes and PCOS. I’m also a doctor now 😂 and i am very aware of my health, but addictions are very hard to break.
Try keto at least for a day or two. Afterwards sugary food will taste like poison.
Mam, this should also apply to celebrities who does advertisement.... Many will say that people already know that they are just advertising... I would say... 90% of buyer purchase by believing that since these celebrities are holding such high positions in society.. They must be educated too..
And also what of those not so popular actors who advertise by wearing doctor dress..???
🤣🤣🤣 well the big companies are always gonna win, lets stop consuming such things for our own benefit
Bolo kuba kesari 😂....oh wait it's surrogate advertising
You repeatedly call him an "Influencer" instead of calling him a concerned citizen. You'd have used a similar word to characterize Galileo when he said the establishment might be wrong about certain facts? You go on to say the recommended amount of sugar for children is 6 teaspoons. These recommendations come down from US FDA which has some money shoveled in from the sugar cane farmers in Florida. So how "scientific" are these anyway? The recommended amount of sugar for the human body is 0 grams just like the recommended amount of cigarettes a day is 0. There, you learned a truth in a youtube comment 100 years before it will become establishment knowledge. You are welcome of course! This channel is on a sugar high, come on guys. Work harder to improve your standards.
And where did u get ur data from?is it proven?
I totally agree. He shouldn't be called an influencer. Just like a docter shouldn't be called a docter. They all should be called concerned citizens. Why did we even create terms like doctors, influencers when we had the best term in front if us all along: a concerned citizen.

If the court manages to punish the company in return it would be fantastic, these corporates are spooking common people from speaking the truth.

Why not? I understand that he didn’t have solid grounds but raising awareness is not wrong 👍
Thank You So Much For This Story for *BOURNVITA!* This BIG Corporations cannot Silence Everyone! ❤
To be honest, having a sweet tooth and a chocolate lover, I have enjoyed Bournvita quite a lot, especially after getting a job and doing my own food purchases.. But that wasn't to be taller, stronger, faster, but simply because I loved the sugary chocolatey taste, my favorite variety being the 5 Star Bournvita at the time.. But later, as I grew older, smarter and more disciplined about what I put into my body, Bournvita was one of the first things to be thrown out of my life simply because of my instinctive realization of how unhealthy it really is.. Just a bunch of sugar and chocolate waste.. Definitely not the kind of junk one would want to put into their body for optimal health.. That decision was taken in 2010 and am proud to say till date, I have never felt the urge to go back to it.. If you really want chocolatey taste in your mouth buy a bar of chocolate and enjoy.. But don't get tricked into downing a large helping of sugar along with it.. Best if you train yourself to use only fructose for sugar and salt sparingly and your body will thank you for it in your later years.. 👍🏻
Bournvita is the reason why I am fat..... I drank so much milk ever since i was a baby. I gained so much weight when I started having it at the age of 5 years, and my weight never looked back! I didn't know what i was doing wrong. bournvita is addictive. I love it . But it the only reason why I was a fat kid as everything else i had was well monitored and my parents would let me have as much bournvita i wanted coz it meant i will be having more milk!
अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत् ।
i.e.
too much of anything is always harmful.
I don't think it's just Bournvita, though it could be a contributing factor. Recommend you look a little more closely at everything you eat, hidden sugars in pratically all foods
🤣
Get off your ass and exercise. As if bournvita alone could cause obesity. Stop making excuses for your own negligence towards your lifestyle
Drink beer
Revant is absolutely correct. You guys are trying to keep your sponsors happy by saying that he is on the wrong side.
Bournvita is loaded with sugar - it’s not even permitted to be sold in a lot of countries.
Cadbury seems to ve sponsored this news.....one sided questioning the influencer and not clarifying the claims made by him!!!!! WHY- SMELLS FISHY😅
My neighbor was always against drinking brounvita she claimed that the drink was unhealthy because after drinking that one would suffer from a coughing feat.
If talking about our own health is leading to lawsuits from the Big Food companies, then we should really question what they are trying to hide? Today, doctors are unable to treat chronic diseases and can only prescribe pill after pill leading to various side-effects. Pills do not solve diseases, lifestyle does. Most doctors are unwilling to discuss latest research on sugar, on ultra-processed foods because they feel that if they focus more on lifestyle changes, how will they maintain their high incomes which come from repeated consultations, high medical bills and hundreds of tests. It is time for the medical system to change for the betterment of its patients, not for its profits. It is a FACT that food companies today are adding very harmful ingredients and sugar is definitely one of them. It is the right of every single human being to question them, to talk freely about them, to not let their children eat that garbage in the name of "health" foods. If doctors cannot help us, cannot guide us towards a holistic approach to our health, we have resources like strong research papers available, thanks to the internet, to make changes to our lifestyle, maintain logs of our test results and feel the changes in our bodies, ourselves. It's my body, my right. It''s my digestive system, so I will decide what to eat. I have brains, I can do good, in-depth research based on RCT's, Meta Analyses and talk about the truth, even if doctors are not.
Palki failed to mention how bornvita provides helth denifits.
I think bournvita sponsor's Firstpost.
He’s raising the right message. He’s also opened the Pandora’s box as bournvita or any other health drink company like Horlicks, boost etc will be no different. They are just a bag of sugar filled with artificial colour and flavour. The Govt isn’t serious about the health of its people as it will create another problem - protests and what not.
However we must take our health seriously.
For starters - just use pepsi/ coke or any similar beverage and dip used plates, spoons vessels etc into it and then clean them. You’ll see the defence. It’s a bottle filled with water, half of which is sugar, chemicals, preservatives etc.
I don't know where he claims to be a health influencer but raising a question to provoke one's mind isn't a wrong intent to be ridiculed. There is no denying that sugar is a child's cocaine.
See how powerful these companies are. They know how to shut down someone if they find something wrong with their product.
Exactly
And the fact that his claims were later backed by multiple scientist and even the government asked bournvita to get rid of their false advertising
That satirical utterance of "scientifi-c-ally" was lit 🔥🔥
The fact that it's a Cadbury product says how healthy it is
He has attacked Cadbury which is a huge company, now he will be in trouble but we must support him
I would not agree with palki here. I think reels are a real good method for awareness. We can't really rely on agencies to be honest. Ajino Moto banned in so many countries is still openly used in India .Influencers can't really ban these products but can create awareness tell and us how much sugar is there and can do the most work for us comparing other brands , nutrients etc. I love watching @fittuber videos that are really helpful.
It's not 100% accurate. Many false food experts & so called nutritions are present in Instagram
You are only talking about the positive side. Influencers can negatively publicize a good product also. Main focus here is liability. Since they don't have none, credibility is questionable.
I also follow fittuber, but i think this was a different person.
Nothing wrong with Ajino Moto. It became the villain because the US were rascist
Ajino moto ban is absolute hypocrisy. Everything from Lay's chips to instant noodle mixes have MSG in it.
In fact, people with low blood pressure would benefit from sodium intake.
Because of food pharmer revant , bournvita had to chamge it's label amd marketing strategies, that itself shows that revant was absolutely correct 💯, power of a common man 💪🏻
"Doctor, is Bournvita healthy?"
"Absolutely, buy 2 packets from the nearby doodad medical store."
Moral of the story- The doctor earns a commission from the medical store.
Why Palki always starts like she is going to give a unbearable hurting comment on the unemployment condition of her cousin's son?!?😅
Bornvita+milk is just a sugar syrup,
i use to drink in my childhood too much but every time i noticed bunch of surgar crystal left in the bottom of glass when I don't mix it properly
she is fully correct in saying not to trust all infuencers. She needs to add another sentence. Not to trust all journalists. Especially those who dramatize news items and give a bias rather than state facts
The problem is even the Doctors have sold their soul to the greedy corporates.
These corporate companies compare their product to our milk and chapati and claim more fibers, but originally they are just sugars, maida , palm oil.
I think Fruit juice needs to be exposed, unlike sodas (which everyone admits is high in sugar) Fruit juice is seen as this healthy drink good for children, I was very concerned that Dhruv Rathees video on Fruit Juices got taken down
Brown bread and atta bread have only 45 to 50% atta. You can imagine what the rest is made up off.
Nestle is mother of propaganda when it comes to marketing. They somehow convinced people that powdered milk is better for child than breastfeeding 😂
best part is that the company did not even clear air on any claims made by him. they just gave smthg else as answer. but company is silent on sugar cancer colourant etc
Influencer is very much right , we must support him
Why is a product banned in a country of origin allowed to be sold in India? Why is the entire administration and health department asleep 😴
That's why being accountable and conscious what food intake your getting..Moderation is key
I drink bournvita once a week, it's not for kids. I enjoy it as Equivalent to hot chocolate, my toddler just drinks pediasure without any sugar.
Pediasure That is equally the same shit... U genius
@@contrails44 did you even do a little bit research before saying that.
@@manjeeradeepak436 then did you do that on Bournvita ? Poison with sugar and without sugar genius.
@@contrails44 I know bournvita is unhealthy, along with many other processed food we take, you can't stop eating and drinking everything, moderation is the key and bournvita is super tasty but I only consume it once a week
When you don't know what you are talking about, this is what you start talking like. Either she is reading a script she has been given or she is sold out.
And bournvita had changed its ingredients a bit now.. All the credit goes to the influencer
@2.58 "should we be discussing children's health "?? ..yes that's what we should be discussing!!!! Inspite bull shit topic media in India is catering whole day!!!
Do not buy all this chemical foods with colour and taste. .That man has got right to tell the people do not get deceived by company..Mothers should make home made food for children like fruits and vegetables and milk from Farmers ..instead of buying instant foods.
He is really doing good for our health.
He was just showing the mirror, not claiming expertise.
Stop discrediting him
Someone should legally challenge these drinks such that they should not claim as health drink
Also they should give percentage of ingredients rather to give per gram or similar to confuse the reader
"Visit a doctor when you have doubt" ?
The same doctors who marketed cigarettes as "healthy" and sugary cereal breakfast as "the most important meal of the day" ?
Doctors are business people who work hard to get the degree so that they can have a secure life with lots of money.
If doctors really cared about curing people then there would not be growing number of sick and unhealthy people and the hospitals would not be in so much profit.
Doctors are paid to do their part while corporations do their part and keep the play going to keep funneling the money their way.
People should start boycott of these packaged foods
Food pharmer: bornvita sued us but after a week government sued bornvita for misleading information about their products 😅
That's what she said 😅
It's a refreshment drink at best not a "health" drink but its completely people's fault for a buy a drink for health purposes and not consulting it with their doctors.
He is right.'bournvita and horlicks are healthy drinks' only claimed by the manufacturers and the corporate medias who needs ads.
Scientists also later backed foodpharmer and he is damn right .complete support to food pharmer . Give home made Badaam milk haldi Wala like our grandmothers did to us . No bournvita comes near it
If it is healthy then why is it not sold in Australia NZ UK USA?
Let’s everyone boycott Bourn Vita 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
I remembered Sachin Tendulkar, he endorsed Boost but gave his son Complan to drink.
Did he say that in an interview or something? 😂
YOU arguing "should be discussing children's health on reels" yet YOU yourself don't raise any awairness about it. The onus is on YOU, the media to raise awareness, amd when YOU FAIL to do as such, YOU dont have the right to call out someone who's doing YOUR work for YOU
The problem is Doctors don't give proper information about diet. And most alopathic doctors dont even spend time to understand the lifestyle of the patient. They are very eager to write down the prescription and call the next patient. Very dissapointing!
No .
Containing 70 percent of Sugar . It's a total scam
1. Sugar is important for a child's brain growth.
2. Sugar will not cause/increase pediatric diabetes.
3. Sugar will not cause cancer.
Hello everyone, I would really like to share this incident of my life. When I was a child of around 8-10 yrs, I would eat a lot of Bournvita as I liked its flavour and back then we didn't have milk packets but milk glass bottles, I believe milk was fresher back then and we used to get whole full fat cow milk so Bournvita's taste in that milk was even better. I got addicted, I think. Whenever I found a chance I would go to kitchen storehouse, dig it up and eat a lot of it. After a few weeks of this continuous nonsense, blood started coming out of my nose and the skin on my nose was horribly burnt. My body was in high heat. I was forbidden from eating Bournvita by the doctor and my parents, I felt very bad but I was too scared to touch it again too.
Later on, Vicco turmeric was applied on my skin thrice a day, everyday and it took 2 months to fully heal and I was given a lot of plain milk, minty lemonade etc to beat the heating in my body.
I am telling u I really liked Bournvita but I left it cuz it bled me and burnt my skin. I am kind of really happy that this news has come today, I hope no other child gets to face what I faced due to Bournvita.
For all those parents out there, protect ur kids from the products of these selfish MNCs or corporates or brands.
Another thing I was addicted to was Maggi masala which is not as intense as it used to be before getting banned but seriously that's good too.
These guys won't talk against these brands as they are their major source of ad revenue
The influencer was a cerified nutritionist btw ; so his opinions are credible
The influencer is a clear winner here.
Disappointing.... There was no misinformation in the influencer's claim all he did was point out the ingredients. Most people dont do that. He never claimed to be or pretended to be a doctor's substitute
The fuck is her problem??? She is somehow trying to find the fault of Foodpharmer in this controversy
Independent voices are must. Medicine and health is most exploited sector, least trusted.
While there is certainly no problem in consuming a thing,which contains Natural sugar,there should b certainly a ,Restraint in consuming,ADDED SUGAR, Specially with Children,as they can b made to change their habits, certainly not with Adults,who have many other RESPONSIBILITIES to cater to Their QUEST for Needs/Requirements
He's doing God's work
Surely the influencers aren't that qualified to comment on health benefits
But what are these agencies doing.
They have been lobbied by this big corporation
Bournvita could shut Mr Revant up. But you taking up this topic would bring in the much needed awareness amongst people about the product. Thank you, Palkiji.
Palki is 100% wrong here. Objectively so. I began from great admiration for her but now I see that fame has intoxicated her mindfulness, to the point she has gone from a healthy confidence to, like the Bornvita she speaks of..."unhealthy" ...pause...arROGUEance. If she can cast spells on wordplay, to change narratives, viewpoints, so can we. This requires Common sense not qualifications. She herself just said to read it yourself. He is reading it for us. I observe that sometimes Palki is on side of truth and at other times changes sides and tides. She herself comments on so many topics, health included, of which she her self has no recognised qualification which means by thw same token and yardstick, that she should stand by her own words and not talk about it as she herself has become an influencer. One need not have qualifications nor credentials to cite those who do eg students or journalists or anybody in public interest. If X has been proven medically or scientifically, whether a Doctor states it or a news anchor or a layman does not change its truth and validity. The only influencers who ought to be banned are those dishonest celebrities, eg in Bollywood, hypocrotes knowingly promoting and become brand ambassadors for unhealthy things for monry where this man did it in spite of losing money. The same public harmed by their badvertising and false endorsements go obsessively weak for the same actors who are vicariously poisoning them, their chidren, their families. So why does Palki the Braveheart not cite them and call our their clear hypocrisy over the truth of a man. Perhaps because Bollywood and Politics are so closely intertwined. I speak of Normally not Anomaly. There are more sellouts than not. If Palki can have the courage to speak truth, to call out others, she should also accept and gracefully,when it is about her and she herself is called out.
