Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second
In a recent development, medical experts have raised red flags regarding the consumption of milky doughnuts, citing potential health risks associated with their consumption. The snack, which has gained widespread popularity among Nigerians, especially on social media platforms, is now under scrutiny for its adverse effects on health.
According to experts, the excessive sugar levels and high calorie content found in milky doughnuts pose significant health risks to consumers. Furthermore, the lack of essential nutrients in these snacks exacerbates the issue, increasing the likelihood of health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
Charles Ogunikpe, a prominent dietician, has cautioned against overlooking the detrimental effects of consuming such high-sugar snacks. He emphasizes that the consumption of milky doughnuts can lead to weight gain and elevate the risk of gum disease and cavities. Moreover, the high glycemic index of these snacks can cause blood sugar spikes, further compromising health.
The surge in popularity of milky doughnuts can be attributed to their widespread promotion on social media platforms like TikTok and X. Viral videos showcasing the irresistible sweetness of these snacks have contributed to their growing popularity, prompting online vendors to capitalize on the trend with aggressive marketing campaigns.
Despite their widespread appeal, concerns persist regarding the lack of transparency in the packaging and labeling of locally prepared milky doughnuts. Experts warn that without clear nutritional information, consumers are unable to make informed choices about their dietary intake.
In a related development, a viral video featuring a woman’s successful milky doughnut business has underscored the lucrative prospects in this burgeoning market. Despite concerns raised by medical experts, the demand for milky doughnuts continues to soar, highlighting the need for greater awareness and regulation in the food industry.
