Say no to soft drinks?

Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has requested celebrities like Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Akshay Kumar, Virendra Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar to desist from endorsing Soft Drinks. According to him even if the soft drinks are devoid of the deadly pesticides, the harmful effect is not minimized.

He told a gathering of health experts in Kolkata on Friday that actors should stay away from endorsing soft drinks since aerated drinks were damaging children's health. He added that juvenile diabetes and obesity are on the rise among children primarily due to the consumption of soft drinks.

Ramadoss had earlier stirred a furore when he asked for a ban on smoking scenes in the films. The film industry reacted sharply to his proposal and even the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry had also expressed it reservations. Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt who had opposed the smoking move is supporting the Health Minister on this issue by stating that the hard selling of Cola Companies by using big names is 'improper '. It remains to be seen-n-heard what the film fraternity has to say on this subject'.

Ramadoss ka Tadka'.Anyone'.
