ICMR says labels could be misleading: 'Sugar-free foods could have hidden sugars'
Whenever you buy food products, you likely check the price, but do you pay attention to the ingredients listed on the label? The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has highlighted the importance of reading food labels thoroughly, as they can be misleading. In its recent guidelines, ICMR pointed out that products labeled as sugar-free, perceived as beneficial for diabetics and weight-watchers, can actually be loaded with fats, refined cereals, and hidden sugars, contributing to a high glycaemic index and high calories.
Similarly, labels claiming "no-cholesterol" or "heart-friendly" can be deceptive. ICMR noted that while plant-based oils do not contain cholesterol, they are 100% fat and should be consumed in moderation.
