PIB busts myth: No health warnings issued on samosas and jalebis
India's Ministry of Health directed central institutions to display 'oil and sugar boards' to raise awareness about hidden fats and sugars in common foods. This initiative aims to promote healthier lifestyles and combat obesity and non-communicable diseases. Recently, India's beloved street snacks came under scrutiny, when the Ministry of Health directed all central government institutions to install prominent "oil and sugar boards", that warns citizens about the hidden fat and sugar content in everyday foods like samosas, jalebis, vada pavs. In a post on X, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) confirmed receiving the notice, lauding the Centre for the initiative. The research institute also shared its own 'Sugar Board' that will be displayed in its offices. All of this led to misleading news circulations where sugar and trans fats were considered the new tobacco. The intent of the move was to help inform people about what they eat and how they should eat. As soon as the news spread, the Press Information Bureau (PIB), fact checking wing on Tuesday said that the Union health ministry did not advise vendors to carry warning labels on popular Indian snacks and desserts. "The advisory of the Union Health Ministry does not carry any warning labels on food products sold by vendors, and has not been selective towards Indian snacks.

Getting heart checked annually is sufficient, no need to panic: Karnataka minister dispels myth
Bengaluru: There is no need for public panic regarding the increasing cases of heart attack being reported in the state, as the average number of such cases is similar to last year, said Sharan Prakash Patil , Minister for Medical Education and Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood Department and Raichur district in-charge. According to a press release, speaking at a joint press conference at Vikas Soudha alongside Health & Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, Patil assured that the government is taking appropriate measures and urged people not to worry unnecessarily. Following reports of a rise in heart attack cases in Hassan district, there has been a significant surge in the number of patients visiting hospitals like Jayadeva Hospital, as well as in the number of people seeking preventive checks. "This has created an unusual situation," he noted. Patil clarified that there is no link between the Covid-19 vaccine and the heart attack cases in Hassan. "People should not doubt the vaccine. The belief that these cases are occurring only in Hassan is incorrect," he stated. Instead of fearing heart attacks, people should focus on leading a healthy lifestyle, getting adequate sleep, and exercising regularly. "Only those showing symptoms of heart-related illness should go for a medical check-up. Don't rush to hospitals without a reason," he advised. A study is being conducted on the deaths of 24 individuals in Hassan. Among these, only 10 were due to heart attacks; the remaining deaths were due to other causes, based on preliminary findings, said Patil. An expert analysis led by cardiologist K.S. Ravindranath at Jayadeva Hospital found that the number of deaths from heart attacks has not increased. "Heart attacks occurred before and continue to occur now," he explained. Patil further noted that post-Covid lifestyle changes have led to a rise in diabetes and blood pressure cases. "Dietary habits have changed, and stress levels have increased. We are studying the reasons behind the rise in deaths among youth," he added. According to the release, in January, 178 people were admitted, with 11 deaths reported. In February, 10 out of 181 patients died; in March, 9 out of 200; and in Bengaluru, 2,165 were hospitalised, with 101 deaths reported. "Getting your heart checked once a year is sufficient. There's no need to panic and visit hospitals out of fear," Patil reiterated. Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao stated that there is no need for screening children for heart diseases. "We will organise awareness programmes through Jayadeva Hospital. We are also taking strict action on roadside food vendors and unhygienic food preparation methods," he said. He urged people to stick to traditional dietary practices and recommended yoga as a highly beneficial habit. Cardiologist K.S. Ravindranath from Jayadeva hospital, principal secretary Mohammad Mohsin and director B.L. Sujatha Rathod were also present, as per the release.

Warning labels on food not selective towards Indian snacks, says govt
New Delhi: The central government on Tuesday denied media reports which claimed that the Ministry of Health has issued health warnings on Indian snacks such as samosas, jalebi, and laddoo to fight obesity crises in the country. It noted that the warning labels on food issued by the Ministry of Health are 'not selective towards Indian snacks'. 'Some media reports claim that the @MoHFW_INDIA has issued a health warning on food products such as samosas, jalebi, and laddoo. This claim is fake. The advisory of the Union Health Ministry does not carry any warning labels on food products sold by vendors, and has not been selective towards Indian snacks,' the Ministry of Health said. Media reports claimed that the Union Health Ministry has urged all ministries, departments, and autonomous bodies to display warnings on Indian snacks like samosa, vada pav, kachori, and jalebi. Calling these reports "misleading, incorrect, and baseless' the Ministry noted that its advisory was on general health awareness and 'it does not target India's rich street food culture'. Reacting to the reports, Milind Deora, MP, in a post on social media platform X noted that the Parliamentary Subordinate Legislation Committee is currently reviewing food regulator FSSAI's plans to tackle India's growing obesity crisis. 'We have unanimously advocated uniform regulations across all food categories, including alcohol, so Indian food isn't unfairly targeted while MNCs continue to market Western junk unchecked'. The Union Health Ministry said its advisory was an initiative towards making healthier choices at workplaces. It is part of the Ministry's flagship initiatives under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD). It advises about the display of Boards in various workplaces such as lobbies, canteens, cafeterias, meeting rooms, etc., to raise awareness of the harmful consumption of hidden fats and excess sugar in various food items. 'These Boards are meant to serve as daily reminders on fighting obesity, the burden of which is sharply rising in the country,' the Ministry said. Excessive consumption of oil and sugar is known as a key contributor to the rising rate of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other lifestyle-related diseases. The general advisory was issued as 'a behavioural nudge to make people aware of hidden fats and excess sugar in all food products, and not specifically to any particular food product,' the government said. The advisory also mentions other health messages such as promoting healthy meals such as fruits, vegetables, and low-fat options along with making suggestions for opting for physical activity such as encouraging the use of stairs, organising short exercise breaks, and facilitating walking routes.
