MADHU AGRAWAL

02 January, 2010

Union Government should ban advertisements of cola-drinks because of hazardous and addicting effects of these drinks. It is wrong to exempt cola-drinks from printing ingredients on their bottles.

UNION GOVERMENT should ban advertisements of cola-drinks because of the hazardous and addicting effect of these drinks, which lead to onset of diabetes in young children. It is senseless to exempt cola-drinks from printing ingredients on their bottles in name of trade-secret when every packaged food commodity has to print ingredients on their packs.

Earlier also, soft-drink manufacturers were asked to remove an oil from their products which was found to be harmful for health. Compulsory printing of ingredients on cola-bottles will clear doubts about presence of any intoxicant or addicting substance in cola-drinks. Union government and soft-drink manufacturers should revive drinks like old and famous rose-flavoured ones, which can not only replace cola-drinks in India but even dominate global-market by breaking monopoly of harmful cola-drinks.
