Few years back Kellogg’s arrived in India and they on TV told everyone that Indians never knew what is breakfast all about and that Kallogg’s cornflakes is the breakfast which gives all the nutrition and rest everything is just useless. For ages Indians never came to know what breakfast and food is all about and we will here to tell you what is it all about. Few months back Kellogg’s company has realised it is not actually the corn but wheat is the real breakfast and their breakfast cereal has all the nutrition which is there in wheat. However they do not advocate to take chapati in breakfast and they advocate Kellogg’s breakfast packet which has qualities similar to wheat or a chapati. Kellogg’s however does not mention as to why then one should eat Rs.1000/- per Kg. Kellogg ‘s which promises ( may not have what they say) and why one should not eat Rs.25/- per Kg. wheat. At least wheat has quality and nutrition which Kallogg’s may not have.
What you will conclude through all the advertisements coming on TV give a wrong picture of what they are selling. Many a times even the eatables they are advertising are not less than poison but the viewer gets attracted by the advertisement, icons who are advertising. Mind it its poison in majority times not the junk food only which these advertisement sell. Following is the list of some of the eatables/ may not be eatables at all which are advertised are poison. As per govt. directions manufacturer has to write what are the contents of the product they are selling. Let us investigate it
Juices popular brands are Tropicana (Pepsi), Maza (Coca cola), Real (Dabur) .
Let us check Tropicana a popular brand mixed fruit ingredients. It contains Water and concentrated mix fruit12.2% from Banana, Apricot, Pineapple, Mango, Orange, Apple, Lime and Strawberry. + Sugar(330, not a good grade)+ Stabilizer (440) + permitted natural colour + added flavour+ no added preservatives. Tropicana claims that it is no.1 juice brand. Just check ingredients sugar is junk food and colours and stabilizers are poisonous. The brand claims that it does not add preservatives however preservatives create heart problems and increase acidity in human digestive system. Some of the preservatives can even cause cancer that is what http://www.livestrong.com explains. Most surprising thing about all juice brands is that there all juices have same taste wherein no two mangoes/ oranges on same tree can have same taste.
Energy drinks
You can go through advertisement “Boost is the secret of my energy” which shows Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar in the advertisement
This is an old advertisement of boost energy drink and intelligent and knowledgeable sportsperson knows well that boost does not carry anything nutritious. It is evident from the fact that Sachin Tendulkar uses is 1.51 Kg bat which is considered as to be extremely heavy as normal batsman use 1 kg. bat for batting. We all know Sachin had health troubles ( tennis elbow and back ache) throughout his sporting career
Now let us compare this with Maharana Pratap whose diet was Bajra, Jaggery and ghee. Worth mentioning that he was a pure vegetarian. What arms he used during the battlefield are as under
weight of Maharana Pratap spear – 80 Kg
weight of Maharana Pratap’s Armor- 72 Kg
Two 26 kg weight sword were used by Rana Pratap. In total he used to carry around 220 kg when he used to be in the battlefield. Once he cut a horse and enemy general in two pieces with one stroke of his sword.
Drinks like red bull cost Rs.70/- and just carry Caffeine and sugar. All energy drinks are useless. For instant energy banana is the real fruit which should be taken.
Dabba milk versus mother’s milk
All Dabba milk are processed food plus chemicals however body is natural. Do not take risk of feeding your infant with processed food. Four to five decades back even doctors used to advocate dabba milk now from two decades they have also been saying truth. Mother’s milk is the best and is essential for child.
Vanaspati Ghee
Five decade back Vanspati ghee, Dalda/ Rath were advertised as a boon for human civilization. It was advertised cow ghee is the main culprit as to because of this heart diseases are rising. After 2 decades USA banned Vanaspati ghee as the ghee is cancerous as per their new research in addition to it is bad for heart. New research of scientist is cow ghee contains beta carotene which is anti cancerous.
Shelf life
Processed food increases the cost and shelf life of the food product. However the nutritive value is decreased. Shelf life is inversely proportional to nutrition. More is the less life less is nutrition and vice versa. More shelf life means that bacteria show disinterest in the product. Shelf life is also increased by preservatives which are poison may be slow poison.
Pizza companies Dominos/ Pizza hut etc.
They use Maida ( processed wheat floor) and cheese as prime ingredient which is junk food. Worse is that they serve it with chilled cold drinks. Chilled cold drinks diminish the digestive fire resulting into constipation. Cold drinks themselves are highly acidic and carry concentrated sugar with chemicals and no nutritive value at all.
Cold drinks
Refer to baba Ramdev ji and Rajiv Dixit ji’s audios and videos who proved that cold drinks and specially colas are poison. They will kill your teeth, stomach and intestines.
Tobacco and Liquors
Govt. has banned the advertisement but advertisements are indirectly available.
Khoob rang milega jab mil baithenge teen yaar hum tum aur hamara Bagpiper Soda. And what is Soda? It is compressed carbon dioxide which we should not inhale.
Conclusion – Take wholesome food made available to us by nature and rely on your taste buds. Whatever you feel to eat / drink just go for it. Not the one which is advertised. You can take packed food not processed and advertised one. Lesser the advertisement better the food is. Just remember Amla ( Goose berry) has maximum Vitamin C in it and no one advertises and Amla can not.
