<h5>Which influencer has proposed an idea to reduce sugar intake?</h5><p>Remember health influencer Revant Himatsingka? The person behind the Bornvita controversy? If not, let me refresh your memory a bit. A few months ago, a controversy regarding Cadbury's Bournvita chocolate 'health' drink’s high sugar content was all over social media platforms. We also published an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/bournvita-is-at-the-centre-of-a-controversy">article</a> on it.</p><p>Later, the company <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/bournvita-decreases-the-amount-of-added-sugar">reduced</a> the amount of sugar in the drink. The person who first highlighted the high sugar content in the drink, which ultimately led to the company reducing it, is Revant Himatsingka.</p><p>He has now developed an idea to help people reduce their consumption of soft drinks with high sugar content.</p><h5>What idea has he come up with?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/influencer-proposes-sugar-board-to-reduce-sugar-intake%2FSugar.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=4654df23-815b-485a-83b7-f231c223bb49" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>A video on the sugar board. Video by Revant Himatsingka (Food Pharmer).</figcaption> </figure></div><p>Firstly, people must be taught the harmful effects of consuming too much sugar. Then, we can create a sugar board that displays the amount of sugar present in every soft drink.</p><p>The board should also include water, which obviously has zero sugar, to show that people should drink water instead of soft drinks. Now, we can display this board in every school canteen, college mess, office canteen, etc.</p><p>Revant Himatsingka has requested the government introduce the sugar board in all public schools in India. He also asked teachers, parents, office managers, etc., to create a sugar board for their school, house, or workplace.</p><p>He hopes people, especially children, will see the board, reduce their consumption of soft drinks with high sugar content, and lead a healthy life.</p><h5>What are some harmful effects of consuming too much sugar?</h5><p>When youngsters consume too much sugar, their health may suffer. Too much sugar consumption in children can increase the risk of tooth decay, resulting in cavities and other dental problems.</p><p>Excessive sugar consumption can cause weight gain and obesity in children. This increases the risk of developing health issues later in life, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
