Relish sweets, but with caution
Ludhiana, October 22
With only three days left for Diwali, the sale of sweets has started picking up in the city. Though people want to sweeten their taste buds, the sale of adulterated sweets by a few sweet makers have compelled them to think twice.
Stomach absorbs all. But nervous system and gastrointestinal tract gets affected as well. In fact, the whole body gets affected in the long run. The use of non-permitted colours and aluminum foil in sweets can be
carcinogenic. —
