MCCI president K.B. Lingaraju, in a statement here, pointed out that the sharp rise in the price of sugar was severely affecting the food-product manufacturing as well as hotel industry. The increase in sugar prices is affecting not only the domestic consumers, but also the production costs of bakeries, sweet manufacturers, biscuit manufacturers, beverage companies, food-processing units, hotels, restaurants, and other small and medium scale industries, he said. The industries are already under pressure due to rising electricity costs, labour expenses, transportation charges, packaging costs, and prices of various raw materials.  “With the price of sugar rising so …

Heart surgeon Dr Jeremy London explains if fruit sugar and added sugar are the same

Published by Parlour News

Avoiding excessive sugar intake is likely one of the most common advices on maintaining a healthy diet. However, there are many fruits that are loaded with natural sugar, whose consumption is equally encouraged. Sugar present in fruits is chemically the same as added sugar. (Pexel) Also Read | Neurologist Dr Sudhir Kumar shares science-backed ways for healthy weight gain, and things to consider ahead This can look paradoxical to the average person, so to help clear the confusion, Dr Jeremy London, a board-certified heart surgeon with more than 25 years of experience, took to Instagram on July 7 and explained the difference. Is fruit sugar the same as added sugar? Dr London revealed that, chemically speaking, the sugar molecules in fruits and the ones used in desserts are the same. So if extracted and consumed on their own, they will be processed by the body the same way and have the same effects. However, what makes the difference in practice is the packaging of the sugar molecules. It is the nutrients that come along with …

Why are energy drinks under a food regulator scanner? The truth about caffeine and sugar | Health and Wellness News

Why are energy drinks under a food regulator scanner? The truth about caffeine and sugar | Health and Wellness News

Published by Parlour News

If you walked into a supermarket this week looking for an energy drink after a gym workout, you may have wondered why these beverages are suddenly under scrutiny. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has recently issued notices to several manufacturers of caffeinated beverages, objecting to the use of the term “energy drink” and promotional claims such as “boosts energy”, “enhances focus” or “vitalises body and mind.” The regulator has clarified that there is currently no notified food standard for a category called “energy drink” under Indian food regulations. More importantly, it has emphasized that foods cannot make therapeutic or functional claims unless these are specifically permitted under the regulations. So why is the FSSAI concerned? “Most commercially available energy drinks contain a combination of caffeine and sugar. A standard 250 ml can of one of the highest-selling energy drinks, for example, contains approximately 75 mg of caffeine, 27 g of added sugar — equivalent to nearly seven teaspoons — along with taurine, glucuronolactone, and vitamins such as niacin, vitamin B6, and …

Written by: Dr Ranjan Shetty 4 min readJun 16, 2026 07:31 AM IST Sometimes a patient can confound us completely. His blood pressure was impeccable: 118/78 mmHg. His blood cholesterol levels were normal. Blood sugar in range. At 44, he was lean, disciplined and a regular at the gym. He ran long distances, never skipped a workout and prided himself on being fanatic about it and being fitter than most men his age. And then he had a heart attack. The question is as unsettling as it is common: How can someone who does everything right suffer a cardiac event? The answer lies in an uncomfortable truth. Medicine understands a great deal about heart disease, but not everything. While 90 per cent of heart attacks are traceable to identifiable risks, 10 per cent tend to be confusing and arise from other reasons entirely. The hidden culprits: Homocysteine and hs-CRP Two markers that have drawn increasing attention are homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the body. Elevated levels have …
