Food adulteration

Shalini Sahuta, Actor

I often think about the increasing cases of food adulteration in the city.u00a0 I've heard cases where milk is adulterated and calcium carbide is injected in fruits to keep them fresh. In fruit juices, artificial colour is added to enhance colour.

As an actor, it is a scary situation because most of the time we are advised to stick to a fruit and vegetable diet as a part of our fitness regimen.

I think the only way to tackle this situation is to be vigilant. Intake of adulterated food is one of the main causes of diseases like cancer, ulcers and liver failures. And as for the perpetrators of this crime, I think they should be given punishment of the highest order.
