On an average approximately, about 75-80% is real\u00a0food and\u00a0the rest are\u00a0artificial ingredients, the proportion could vary across different brands too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6056316900289253907ox-9e5a5432e9-MsoNormal\"><span>Now let\u2019s understand in detail what ingredients actually go into making a biscuit and how it affects our bodies in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6056316900289253907ox-9e5a5432e9-gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Refined Wheat (Maida)<\/strong><\/span><span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u2013 Maida is refined wheat flour.<\/span><span>\u00a0M<\/span><span>ost of the nutrition &amp; fiber is wiped off in the refining process. White flour is rich in carbs and quickly raises blood sugar, very similar to what sugar does. In addition to refining, the <em><strong>maida is bleached<\/strong><\/em> using peroxides, chlorine, bromates etc. to make it appear white in colour. These flour bleaching agents also help the cookies stay intact and not spread too much while baking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6056316900289253907ox-9e5a5432e9-gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span>Now a little bit about labeling of maida. Most biscuits contain maida or refined wheat flour if it has been labeled as <em><strong>\u201cwheat flour\u201d<\/strong><\/em>. We as consumers are mislead to think it could be whole wheat flour.

White sugar, especially for children, is not the healthiest you can offer. Cavities, increased fatigue, sugar addiction, and obesity are common health issues in the long run.

To put it in simple words invert sugar is nothing but <em><strong>more of fructose<\/strong><\/em>. It is much sweeter than sugar and easily absorbed by the body immediately.
