Karan Johar worried about son Yash's sugar consumption: Here is what ICMR guidelines say

Bollywood director Karan Johar, in a recent interview with Faye D'Souza spoke about how he is worried about son Yash's sugar consumption. Karan revealed that he is afraid his son would gain weight, but he also knows it is hereditary.

On that note, let us explore what guidelines ICMR has laid down for sugar consumption in adults and children.

What did Karan Johar say?

“It breaks my heart when I see my son consuming sugar and putting on weight... I am so paranoid about it. I don’t want to say it to him because this is the age I want him to enjoy life. I want him to be happy and carefree because he is a happy child. But I can see the genetic... I can’t call it a flaw, I get it from my mom and I know he’s getting it from me," Karan said on The Faye D’Souza Show.

He also revealed to the audience that once he told Yash that he has put on weight but immediately regretted it. "I went into my room and said, ‘Why did you do this?’ Then I went outside, hugged him, and said, ‘I’m really sorry, please eat what you want’,” Karan shared.

What does ICMR guidelines say about sugar consumption in children and adults?

The Indian Council of Medical Research and the National Institute of Nutrition or NIN have released revised National Dietary Guidelines for Indians, which state that children up to two years of age should be kept away from sugar, limiting the daily intake of calories from sugar to only 5 per cent.

Their daily diet should include at least 500 grams of fruits and vegetables. Diet guidelines also advise people to avoid protein supplements to meet their daily protein requirements and have natural protein instead.
