It was a good point to ponder . The 40 % reduction in demand for sugar in April is definitely attributed to the lockdown only . It is during festivals and functions that people take their extra quota of outside their homes . Those who reduced their sugars had continued even before April . The extra sugar that we consume in festivals , functions all kinds ,even the" prasadham Laddus " have been cut these 54 days . Some members also said that consumption of Alcohol was almost nil these 54 days . That is again a benefit for mankind as alcohol contributes to the extra calories to the body if not spent stored as Fat . As we sum up the effect of these 2 and we continue the practice , India may not be called the " Diabetic Capital of the World anymore " . more
The reasons are obvious under a situation of complete lock down of all establishments including manufacturing units of confectionery and other similar establishments. Domestic consumption of sugar is just a fraction of total consumption. However, it should be encouraging that our intake of sugar has drastically reduced without any interference of a doctor. Reduced requirement of the item will help us to save precious foreign exchange on sugar import and on the contrary we can earn foreign exchange by exporting the excess stock. more
