KISSAN "Fresh Tomato" Ketchup is a scam!

Recently, while scrolling Instagram, there were many posts and reels regarding the FSSAI food scam. I thought, why are there lots of people commenting to be safe with the FSSAI food scam? Firstly, I thought it was just an algorithm of Instagram, but yesterday, suddenly, while searching for food security and safety from FSSAI, I found there are many such complaints posted. While I was having my meal through this ongoing search, I was pouring Kissan fresh tomato ketchup, and suddenly my eyes hit the mark of "FSSAI approved."  At that moment, my mind questioned checking the labeling and packaging. I checked the packaging, and I was shocked to see the line that was written in a very small font that says "only brand name and doesn't represent true nature," after which I thought that all the ads and packaging are only for customer attraction and branding; nothing is related to the concept of trustworthiness or originality. People often, when buying, think that these b...

Toxic Chemicals in Chocolates banned in Europe and USA but legal in India

Many chocolates and candies sold in India still contain additives that have been banned in Europe and restricted in parts of the USA due to health concerns.  Substances like Red Dye 3 (Erythrosine) , Titanium Dioxide (E171) , and preservatives such as BHA/BHT are widely used to enhance color, texture, and shelf life, even though studies link them to risks like cancer, DNA damage, and hyperactivity in children. These chocolate packages such as gems, melody, eclairs, kismi etc contain these chemicals and on back side of this chocolate contains this information but who has time to read this notice. It is such an irony, same as people know smoking is injurious to health but then to consume it  The difference arises because Europe follows a strict precautionary principle—banning chemicals if there’s evidence of harm—while India’s food safety rules under FSSAI remain more permissive and slower to adopt global bans. As a result, Indian consumers are exposed to additives that are no ...

Lifestyle Has a Greater Impact on Breast Cancer Risk Than Genetics

  Breast cancer is a complex disease. Although you might immediately consider your family history to be the greatest danger, scientists think that knowing that would require looking at more than just your genes.

These include the age at which a woman experiences menopause and the start of her menstrual cycle . A slight...

The Inspiring Story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh

  A physician from Hyderabad, India named Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh is an inspiring instance of persistence and dedication to public health. Her eight-year battle against misleading marketing tactics in the food and beverage sector has had a lasting impact on the battle for children's health and consumer rights. A concerning ability that Dr. Sivaranjani saw was the marketing of sugary drinks by a number of corporations under the pretense of Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS). These goods were mislabeled to look like medically authorized dehydration remedies, and children frequently consumed them. But instead of aiding in children's recovery from dehydration, its high sugar content may be injurious to their health. Dr. Sivaranjani set out to make the labeling of these items more transparent after realizing the possible risks. She relentlessly promoted advocating more stringent laws, educating parents, medical professionals, and regulatory bodies about the problem.   Her campaign...
