Killer Biscuits!

Next time you finish off a pack of your favorite biscuit in one shot, may be you have increased the risk of cancer. Nita checks some of the popular brands of biscuits and tells us that even the so called Healthy biscuits are NOT healthy.

It is also significant that biscuits such as these which proclaim themselves to be a “light” snack are not light. Just note the calories per 100 gms in this biscuit – over 500! This is higher than Britannia’s 495 calories for their goodday biscuits, and guess what – it has more energy/calories that Parle’s own glucose biscuit!!

Britannia’s claim that this biscuit is healthy makes no sense! For one thing, the 79 percent cereal may be cereal but this “cereal” is nothing but maida (white refined flour) which is not healthy. And calling this biscuit ‘Pure Health’ is another misnomer. Even if this biscuit is more healthy than many others (fewer additives and no transfats) that does not justify this kind of labeling. They should just say zero transfat and leave it at that!
