The intake of excess sugar from sugary drinks is associated with weight gain. This is because excess sugar accumulates in your belly, resulting in obesity. The stored sugar increases the risk of type-2 diabetes. #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine. #TaxSweetDrinksNotBasicNeeds

Over 1,100 people die daily from diabetes in Pakistan. We can't afford to ignore this crisis. Increase taxes on sugary drinks NOW! #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine. #TaxSweetDrinksNotBasicNeeds

Did you know sugary drinks, including juices, contribute to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease? Say NO to tax reductions and YES to better health policies! #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine. #TaxSweetDrinksNotBasicNeeds

The @GovtofPakistan must Tax Sugary Drinks to reduce their consumption, thus preventing type-2 diabetes, obesity, and/or related diseases. #TaxSweetDrinsknotmedicine. #TaxSweetDrinksNotBasicNeeds

@PYCAPk @PSQCAheadoffice Non-dairy milk products should be subjected to the regulations.Dairy products are not harmful

While the @PSQCAheadoffice did impose a regulation to limit trans-fats in several food items including banaspati ghee earlier this year, many foods like chocolates, ice-creams & other dairy products also need to be regulated. #TransFatsFreePakistan #TRANSFORMPakistan

@IffatHasanRizvi @PYCAPk @ZarrarKhuhro Natural fat is better than artificial but quantity matters.If you are taking 1500 calories then only 450 Kcals should be coming from fat which means 4 -5 T.Spoon fat only which is not the case in Pakistani diet. So overall fat control is important for health.

@PYCAPk @ZarrarKhuhro Please discuss health benefits or risks related to the use of animal tallow (animal fat/chakki) in our cooking. Traditionally this source of natural fat is used in northern parts of Pakistan. Also some international famous fast food chains are also using tallow.

@UVology @PYCAPk @ZarrarKhuhro Tea whiteners,non dairy creamers,bakery products ,frozen parathas,puff pastry,biscuits condiments and lots of other products.Labelling is not regulated in Pakistan but if you see on any label "partially hydrogenated fat" it means risk

@PYCAPk @ZarrarKhuhro kindly share the list of foods containing transfats other than banaspati..

@hsohu @PYCAPk Samosas & pakoras either to be cooked in oil or alternative cooking techniques can be used like aur frying or oven baking for samosa and rolls.Best tip is to reduce frequency of consumption of deep fried food and quantity also

@PYCAPk very informative space, and no more samosas and pakoras!!!

@you_zee_me @PYCAPk Trans Fat can be replaced by a number of healthy options.Plant based oils like corn,canola,sunflower,olive etc for cooking.Use of Seeds,nuts,Corn,fruits in place of bakery products as snacks.Restriction of bakery products,cookies & crisps not more than once a week.

@PYCAPk please talk about alternatives too .. solution that's sustainable for public

@Fakhr789 @PYCAPk Use of plant based oils in limited quantity is a safer option for cooking purpose.Quality & quantity both matters

@PYCAPk What about using cooking oil..is it a little safer compared to banaspati ghee

@SobiahQ @PYCAPk @ZarrarKhuhro Banaspati ghee is artificially manufactured & a source of trans fat.Replacing ghee with plant based oils is a good option than desi ghee,which is natural but also it rich in saturated .Desi ghee intake should not exceed 1-2 tsp/day

@PYCAPk Question: people would like to know difference between banaspti ghee and actual ghee. West is promoting good ghee now. @ZarrarKhuhro

📢 Beware of the hidden dangers in your food! Vanaspati ghee is the largest source of trans fats in the diet. @achakzaibk @WHOPakistan @UNICEF_Pakistan @MWaqar_Bhatti @SalmanSufi7 @ghumman_sana @kmahmed65 @PYCAPk @cpdi_pakistan @HeartfileTweets @Irshaddanish @A_Qadir_Patel
