Asian Paints aims to quash CCI probe, saying investigation order mishandled
India's biggest paints maker, Asian Paints , is seeking to quash an antitrust inquiry by CCI , arguing that officials damaged its reputation by publishing, and then deleting, allegations against its CEO from the investigation order, legal papers show. Rapid infrastructure and real estate growth in India, one of the world's fastest-growing economies, has made the paints business a lucrative sector worth around $9.5 billion.

In a court challenge, Asian Paints told Mumbai judges the CCI's July 1 order contained an allegation that its CEO warned raw material suppliers in a meeting that they would get less business from the company if they dealt with Birla. Within 24 hours, the reference was deleted and a new modified order was issued by the CCI, Asian Paints said in the filing, adding that both orders were still online and such an unexplained change was against legal procedures. Live Events "The concurrent existence of two different orders ... has undermined the integrity of the proceedings, creating confusion in the market," Asian Paints said in its July 14 high court filing, seen by Reuters. "The contents of the first impugned order have also caused grave reputational damage to the petitioner and to its CEO." The CCI did not respond to queries on Asian Paints' lawsuit or why the changes were made to its order. Asian Paints, its CEO Amit Syngle and Birla Opus, the paints arm of billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla's Grasim Industries , also did not respond to queries. Reuters is first to report the contents of Asian Paints' 250-page lawsuit, which is not public. Birla has dented some of Asian Paints' dominance after it launched in February 2024 and grew rapidly to garner a near 7% market share by March this year, Elara Capital data shows. Asian Paints also presented a table to the judge citing other changes made in the revised order, including the deletion of a reference that its representatives were allegedly concerned about some dealers using Birla's specialist paint devices. Making such changes indicates the CCI took its decision with a "pre-meditated mind", Asian Paints' filing said. Ahead of the CCI's decision to investigate, Reuters on June 6 first reported Birla's confidential antitrust complaint against Asian Paints. Asian Paints submitted that story to the CCI and also inquired about the case, the filing shows. Asian Paints' court challenge will be heard on August 6.

Got high cholesterol? Doctors say this common habit could be making it worse
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the U.S. for over 100 years. One major reason people get heart disease is high cholesterol , which can block arteries and lead to heart attacks or strokes. While we can't control every cause, doctors say we can lower our risk by managing cholesterol levels. Cardiologist Dr. Patrick Kee from Houston says that even if you're on cholesterol medication , what you eat still plays a huge role. Simple changes like eating less fatty food or more vegetables can lower cholesterol over time and prevent serious heart problems later. So it's not just about pills — lifestyle matters too, as per Parade.

Dr. Bradley Serwer, a heart doctor, says eating too much of these fats increases your risk of heart disease a lot. Saturated fats affect your bad cholesterol (LDL) more than even dietary cholesterol does, as per the reports. ALSO READ: This soap bar trick is going viral with gardeners — here's why you should try it too Dr. Bhavna Suri explains that saturated fat makes your liver produce more LDL cholesterol, which is the bad kind. LDL can stick to artery walls and form plaque, which narrows your arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis, and it can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Saturated fats are common in red meat, butter, cheese, and full-fat dairy. Live Events Most people eat more fat than they realize The American Heart Association recommends that less than 6% of your daily calories come from saturated fats. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, that's only about 13 grams of saturated fat. It's not much, and many people eat way more without realizing it. Dr. Jeffrey Carstens says that many people struggle to avoid saturated fat because it's in so many popular foods like ice cream, pastries, and fast food. Even "healthy-looking" food can have hidden saturated fats. Most people don't check the nutrition label on the back of the package — and that's where the truth is, as per Parade report. Food labels can be tricky It might still have a lot of saturated fat, or may be loaded with sugar or salt instead. Dr. Kee says just because something says 'reduced fat' doesn't mean it's healthy. Also, people often focus too much on protein and end up eating red meats, which are high in both protein and saturated fat. ALSO READ: Coca Cola rival Poppi to pay $8.9 million to soda drinkers — no receipt needed to claim your share Dr. Kee also points out that when people are busy, they turn to fast food and ready-to-eat meals, which are usually high in saturated fat, added sugar, and sodium. So convenience leads to bad food choices, as stated by reports. Easy ways to eat better for your heart Fiber-rich foods like apples, leafy greens, oats, and quinoa help you feel full, lower cholesterol, and naturally replace fatty foods. Dr. Kee suggests that half of your plate should be vegetables every time you eat. Switching to chicken (without skin), fish, beans, or lentils can cut down saturated fat intake. While red meat provides protein, it also contains more saturated fat. Dr. Kee recommends trying 'Meatless Monday' or going vegetarian at least one day a week to explore healthier protein options, as per the Parade report. Not all fats are bad. Dr. Serwer says swap saturated fats for monounsaturated fats, like those in olive oil or avocado oil. These are better for your heart and can still taste great in cooking, says Dr. Carstens. ALSO READ: LinkedIn job applications surge 45% as AI tools like ChatGPT, resume Bots, and hiring automation take over the job search in 2025 Many processed foods contain hidden saturated fats, even if they say 'healthy' on the front. A simple rule is to choose foods that have 1 gram or less of saturated fat per 100 calories. Also, watch out for 'low fat' foods that may have too much sugar or salt, as per Dr. Suri. Dr. Serwer says the best way to eat healthy is to know what's in your food, which is only possible when you make it yourself. Eating out at restaurants can sneak in extra fats and salt, and the nutrition info isn't always clear, as per the report by Parade. FAQs Q1. What is the worst habit for people with high cholesterol? Eating too much saturated fat is the top habit doctors say can make high cholesterol worse. Q2. Which foods should I avoid if I have high cholesterol? Avoid red meat, full-fat dairy, butter, and processed foods high in saturated fat, even if labeled 'healthy.'

Neurologist shares life-saving advice as Hyderabad doctors report alarming rise in stroke cases among young professionals
An unsettling trend has been observed in Hyderabad hospitals as increasing number of stroke cases are being reported among young adults aged between 20 and 45. Once associated primarily with the elderly, strokes are now appearing with alarming frequency in working professionals, many of whom have no significant medical history. Doctors say the shift is being driven by chronic stress, erratic sleep patterns, and untreated lifestyle-related health conditions. This growing concern has prompted neurologists across the city to call for greater awareness, faster response times, and preventive lifestyle changes to combat what is now being termed 'young onset stroke.' Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category others Technology PGDM Others CXO Operations Management Product Management Cybersecurity Data Science Data Analytics Project Management Design Thinking Public Policy Management Finance Data Science MCA healthcare Digital Marketing Artificial Intelligence MBA Degree Healthcare Leadership Skills you'll gain: Duration: 16 Weeks Indian School of Business CERT - ISB Cybersecurity for Leaders Program India Starts on undefined Get Details The issue was recently detailed in a report by The Times of India and Senior neurologist Dr Sudhir Kumar, who was among the experts quoted, also shared the report on X. The report stated that cases are becoming increasingly common at hospitals like Apollo, NIMS, OGH, Gandhi, and other major clinics across Hyderabad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo — hyderabaddoctor (@hyderabaddoctor) Young Professionals at Risk Due to Lifestyle Strain The report highlighted multiple cases of young stroke patients arriving too late for effective intervention. One instance involved a 24-year-old BPO employee whose stroke was linked to sleep deprivation, alcohol use, and uncontrolled diabetes. In another case, a 40-year-old corporate executive ignored symptoms of high blood pressure and collapsed at home, missing the crucial treatment window and suffering permanent disability. Doctors attribute these cases to a combination of workplace stress, sedentary routines, smoking, poor diet, and neglected medical conditions such as hypertension and metabolic disorders. Many patients are unaware of their risk factors or dismiss early symptoms, which proves costly. When To Visit Hospital, Advices Neurologist Dr Sudhir Kumar, who practices at Apollo Hospitals , stressed earlier in a tweet that strokes are now the third leading cause of death and long-term disability, after heart disease and cancer. The most common type is ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot blocking circulation to part of the brain. Effective treatment, such as thrombolysis (a clot-dissolving injection) or mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal), is only successful if administered within the first few hours of symptom onset. He explained that over 90% of stroke patients do not receive this treatment because they arrive at hospitals too late. As a result, they are often left with permanent impairments such as weakness in limbs, loss of speech, memory issues, or visual problems. Dr Kumar strongly advises that if someone experiences sudden facial drooping, difficulty speaking, or weakness in one arm or leg, they should be rushed immediately to a hospital equipped with a CT scan facility. — hyderabaddoctor (@hyderabaddoctor) Lesser-Known Symptoms Are Often Missed Beyond the typical signs, Dr Kumar has used public platforms to draw attention to lesser-known symptoms that could point to a stroke. These include sudden confusion, drooping of one eyelid with weakness on the opposite side, dizziness, imbalance, numbness or tingling on one side of the body, sudden vision or hearing loss, memory lapses, or even the inability to recognise familiar faces. — hyderabaddoctor (@hyderabaddoctor) Strokes affecting the brainstem, thalamus, or parietal lobe may present with subtle or unusual symptoms, making early recognition even more critical. In rarer cases, patients may show signs such as paraplegia, inability to read or write, left-right confusion, or sudden disorientation. Dr Kumar's key message remains consistent: any sudden neurological change should prompt immediate medical evaluation. Preventive Measures Still the Strongest Shield Medical professionals across Hyderabad agree that prevention is more effective than cure in the case of strokes. They recommend regular physical activity, adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, and timely health check-ups for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. Risk factors such as smoking, heavy drinking, and recreational drug use further increase vulnerability and should be actively avoided. Managing work-related stress, especially in high-pressure roles, is also critical to maintaining brain health .
