How much salt, sugar? New diet rules coming

By Syed Akbar

Hyderabad, July 29: How much salt, sugar, chilli, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste or garam masala is good for an average Indian if India is to be a healthy nation?

The Centre has taken up a massive exercise to revise dietary guidelines for Indians after a 10-year gap. People can decide what type and what quantity of food is desirable. Suggestions/comments have been invited, based on which a panel of health and nutrition experts will finalise the new guidelines.
