Ind Food and Beverage Association's (IFBA) Chairperson Deepak Jolly was among experts who opposed FSSAI's plans to put red flags for high sugar/fat content. According to industry estimates, nearly 80% of packaged food and drinks in India have high fat, sugar and salt content. That means packaging would be awash in red if colour-coded warnings were adopted, Jolly told FSSAI.
Coca-Cola India executive Mili Bhattacharya, while opposing FSSAI's plan to mandate red flags for consumables with high fat/sugar content, said the labels would be "pointless". She said they were unnecessary because Indian doctors had done a good job teaching patients what foods to avoid, Reuters reported. FSSAI dropped its plan after several other Big Food executives opposed the labels.

Rajasthan Agriculture Minister Kirodi Lal Meena has tested positive for H1N1 and been admitted to the Medical ICU at SMS Hospital, Jaipur. His hospitalization comes as the state reports a sharp rise in swine flu cases. Authorities have intensified surveillance, hospital preparedness and infection-control measures while monitoring his condition.
The H1N1 strain accounts for 98% of influenza cases detected in the county this season, with H3N2 making up only 2-3% of the cases, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said on Tuesday. The council earlier said that the H1N1 strain is not new and current vaccines remain effective against it. ICMR added that there is no cause for panic.
A new study published in Cell Press Blue found that blood antibody patterns may help predict how strongly a person will respond to a vaccine. Researchers analysed over 8,000 blood samples and used AI to identify markers linked to stronger or weaker COVID-19 vaccine responses. The findings could support more personalised vaccination strategies in the future.

Dr Tushar Palve, Dean of Cama Hospital, said the three newborns who died in the Amravati NICU fire may have died from suffocation rather than burns. He cited possible smoke buildup due to poor ventilation and high oxygen levels. He stressed regular maintenance of ventilators and electrical equipment, along with proper ventilation and fire safety measures in NICUs.
Creatine can support muscle strength, high-intensity exercise performance and recovery, with emerging evidence for certain cognitive benefits. However, it is not a miracle supplement and may cause water retention or stomach discomfort. People with kidney or liver problems, or unstable diabetes should consult a healthcare professional before taking creatine supplements.
Dr Satyapriya Sahoo, Consultant Paediatrician, explains that missed childhood vaccines do not mean it is too late to protect a child. A paediatrician can review the vaccination history, identify overdue doses and create a suitable catch up plan. Parents should avoid restarting the entire schedule on their own and consult a doctor to ensure timely protection against serious infections.
Dr Vittal Kumar Kesireddy, senior consultant paediatrician, explains that common vaccine myths, including claims that vaccines cause autism or overload the immune system, are not supported by medical evidence. He says mild illness does not always require delaying vaccination and stresses that the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases are generally greater than vaccine side effects.
