This video, which is now going viral, has been shared on Twitter by @rishibagree. It shows a man alleging that Cadbury Bournvita lacks nutrients that contribute to the healthy functioning of the immune system, despite its packaging claims. Instead, the product has a high sugar content that can lead to diabetes if consumed regularly. In the video, he suggests changing Bournvita’s tagline, “Tayari Jeet Ki,” to “Tayari Diabetes Ki,” to reflect its negative impact on health. The caption of the post read, “A very important video message that every parent and individual should watch.” You can watch the full video here:

Most such brands only add flour and flavorings. Take a sample and get it tested in any lab, you will come to know that there is nothing there- Aabha 108 (@Aabha108) April 5, 2023
If you’re really concerned, file a complaint with the court. For example if they are lying on the packaging then they have to pay heavy fine.- Siddharth Kulshrestha (@sahastra07) April 5, 2023
