The now-viral video was shared on Twitter by @rishibagree. It shows a man making accusations that Cadbury Bournvita lacks nutrients that contribute to the healthy functioning of the immune system, despite its packaging claims. Instead, the product contains a high sugar content that could lead to diabetes if ingested regularly. In the video, he suggests changing Bournvita's tagline, "taiyari jeet ki," to "taiyari diabetes ki" to reflect its negative impact on health. "A very important video message that every parent and individual should see," read the caption of the post. You can watch the full video here:

If you are actually worried, file complaint in the court. There is precedence that if they are lying on the packaging they will be paying hefty fines.— Siddhartha Kulshrestha (@sahastra07) April 5, 2023
