Dipika Kakar (Indian actor) recently made gajar ka halwa at home for her son Ruhaan, who expressed a strong liking for the dish. In a YouTube vlog with her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, they discussed their approach to Ruhaan's diet, stating they provide sugar in moderation, believing that children in their growing age need energy from various foods, including sweets. However, health expert Dr. Rajiv Kovil raised concerns about the normalization of sugar for young children, asserting that added sugar is not necessary for growth. He explained that early exposure to sugar can condition children's preferences for sweet foods, potentially leading to obesity and metabolic disorders later in life. Kovil emphasized the importance of balanced nutrition over sugar, warning that parents shape their children's future eating habits through their dietary choices.
