I can't take Chyawanpras with sugar ( 40 - 50 % sugar) hence I definately said its an adding on to the properties of Ayurveda.tme has changed and the lifestype disease are increasing fast ( Diabetes & obesity one of them). I ask one simple question that in present day is it wise to consume sugar in such a huge quantity i.e ( Juices - 20% sugar,Biscuits 20 % sugar,Amla syrups 20 % sugar,Health drinks (aloe vera etc.. 20 % sugar ) It is ridiculas appreciating the products with sugar and to discard a modern healthy approach . As far as the medium of making sugar free is concern . Dabur alone is using SORBITOL for sweetness because it wants to increase the Bulk in the product but except Dabur Alkem and Ranabaxyh are using "Sucralose" which is made with sugar and also have the pleasing taste. I am thankful to the Updated Companies for using the updated Healthy products ..... Now for One year I am using Alkem's Chyawanprash regularly ( With Sucralose ) it has a great taste and , I am feeling more fit as compared to the Dabur Chywanprash which I was using for past 8 years . Now none of my family member uses Sugar in the hidden form of Product i.e. Juices, Sauces,Tea,Ice Cream,Chyavanprash,Amla & Aloe etc..squash,Squashs,and other sharbats which were made with sugar . We are feeling more healthy and fit with reduced consumptioin of sugar. Sugar should not be promoted in present day situation.

He calls them "imposters who wear the garb of physicians... [who] walk the earth like messengers of death". These fake doctors are "unlearned in scriptures, experience and knowledge of curative operations, but like to boast of their skills before the uneducated". Wise patients, Charaka advises, "should always avoid those foolish men who make a show of learning." Regulation is one thing and enforcing is another. The said article talks about abuse of Ayurveda,by certain individuals. There are many who have benefited from Ayurveda. It's sad that concerted efforts are made to discredit 1000s of year old system rather than trying to research the benefits. The first paragraph of the article summarises it all:
