The sugar disease is posing an enormous health problem to the country. India has been witnessing an alarming rise in the incidence of diabetes according to the International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries. The fundamental cause of diabetes is attributed to adiposity (obesity) and this energy imbalance is very prominent, especially in urban India. Going by the official World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, there is a whopping 100% growth in diabetic patients in India in the last 15 years. Aspartame and sucralose are the most famous sweeteners in the HIS segment. Stevia is also seeing a major demand in the natural sweeteners category.
