🚨 “Sathu Maavu Kanji” – Healthy Name, High Carb Reality! 🥣⚠️
“Sathu maavu kanji” sounds healthy 🌿
But in reality, it’s not true sathu maavu — it’s a carb-heavy porridge 🍚
👉 Mostly made from processed grains & starches
👉 Low protein ❌
👉 Low fiber ❌
👉 High glycemic load ⚠️
For diabetics, this means:
📈 Rapid blood sugar spikes
💥 Post-meal hyperglycemia
⚡ Insulin stress
Drinking it as a “healthy meal” is a myth ❌
Especially in diabetes — it can push sugars up dangerously 🚨
💡 Real diabetic meals need:
✅ Protein
✅ Fiber
✅ Healthy fats
✅ Low glycemic load
Healthy label ≠ Healthy for diabetes.
