In the last week, one of the most popular ‘healthy’ chocolate health drinks made headlines, prompting consumers to reconsider their purchasing decisions on such health drinks.

In a viral video, Revant Himatsingka, an Instagram influencer, claimed that Cadbury’s Bournvita contains a high sugar content. Due to its high sugar content, the influencer believes Bournvita’s tagline “Taiyari Jeet Ki” (preparation for victory) should be changed to “Taiyari Diabetes Ki” (preparation for diabetes). Dr. Abby Philips, a scientist and nutrition specialist, supported this claim and listed research papers in her defense on TheLiverDoc @theliverdr.

Zee Business’ prime time show ‘Aapki Khabar, Aapka Fayda’ invited a panel of health experts – Dr. Jagruti Sanghvi (Sr. Pediatrician, Nanavati Max Hospital), Dr. Swati Maheshwari (Sr. Physician), and Dr. Shweta Khandelwal (Head- Nutrition Research, PHFI) – to investigate this contentious matter on powdered products further.
