WITH sugar consumption soaring despite a rise in diabetes and pre-diabetes, experts are concerned that the upcoming Diwali could pose serious health risks.
The festival is synonymous with sweets, chocolates, and other sugary treats, which can be particularly dangerous for people with diabetes.
A recent survey shows that the consumption of sweets in urban India is on the rise. The number of households consuming sweets three times or more each month has increased by 40 percent over the last 18 months. Seven in ten urban households now regularly consume traditional Indian sweets as well as packaged treats like chocolates, biscuits, and cakes.
