Buying Health Supplements? Here's What the FSSAI Licence Doesn't Guarantee

FSSAI licence does not mean a health supplement has been individually tested or that its health claims have been verified. Experts advise consumers to check the ingredient list, verify claims where possible, and look for the mandatory disclaimer before buying. FSSAI has also taken action against several brands in 2025 and 2026 over misleading health supplement claims.

"Are you also one of those who enjoys scrolling on your mobile phone endlessly and then realizes that an hour or more has passed? If the answer is “Yes”, this article is for you.

Study1 suggests 34% of Indian adolescents (approximately one in three) may experience smartphone addiction.

Smartphones have become a number-one priority for many people nowadays. People are increasingly dependent on smartphones and the internet for many of their daily needs.

While digitalization has certainly increased the ease and comfort of human life, constant usage of mobile and social media has been associated with psychiatric, cognitive, emotional, medical, and brain-related changes.

As digital technology becomes an increasingly important part of our daily life, maintaining a healthy balance between online and offline activities has become more important than ever. This has led to the need for a "Digital Detox."

However, digital devices themselves are not harmful. They play an essential role in education, work, healthcare, communication, and everyday life. The goal of a digital detox is not to avoid technology completely but to develop healthier and more mindful digital habits.

Oxford Dictionary defines Digital Detox as a period of time when a person does not use digital devices such as smartphones or computers, especially in order to reduce stress and relax. 3

Digital detox strategies include reducing or temporarily stopping the use of mobile phones, social media platforms, and other digital gadgets to prevent addiction and reduce the negative effects related to their excessive use..."

The Summer Mistake That Could Ruin Your Medicines

As temperatures continue to rise, health experts are reminding people that hot weather can also affect the safety and effectiveness of medicines. Many medicines should be stored below 25°C, while insulin and GLP-1 injections such as Wegovy and Mounjaro require refrigeration before use. Exposure to excessive heat can reduce the effectiveness of tablets, creams, inhalers, and even blood glucose monitors. Experts advise storing medicines in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoiding leaving them in parked cars, kitchens, bathrooms, or on sunny windowsills. If a medicine changes in colour or texture, or appears to be less effective than usual, people are advised to consult a pharmacist or doctor.

"The Kalyan District and Sessions Court on Tuesday, July 14, granted bail to Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) corporator Ramesh Sukanya Mhatre, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting two doctors and other hospital staff at the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation's (KDMC) Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli, Thane district. The court ordered his release on a ₹50,000 surety bond after hearing submissions from both the defense and the prosecution, The Hindu reported.

Mhatre was arrested on July 8, two days after the alleged assault at the civic-run hospital triggered widespread outrage and protests by doctors' organizations. According to The Hindu, the defense sought bail on medical grounds, while the prosecution did not oppose the plea. Mhatre has been admitted to Thane District Government Hospital since the night of July 13 for medical reasons.

The Hindu reported that Mhatre spent two days in police custody before the court remanded him to judicial custody. After his remand ended on July 13, his counsel moved a bail application, which the court allowed the following day.

The three co-accused—Ramesh Pawar, Akshay Karande, and Pramod Nikam—remain in judicial custody at Adharwadi Jail. Their bail pleas are scheduled for hearing on July 15.

How a NICU Bed Dispute Led to the Thane Doctor Assault Case

The case stems from the July 6 incident at KDMC's Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli, where Mhatre and his associates allegedly confronted doctors after a family was advised to shift a newborn to another hospital because the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was full, according to NDTV. Videos of the alleged assault on two doctors and other hospital staff later went viral, triggering widespread condemnation..."

07/14/2026

"The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has imposed a penalty on a catering service provider after passengers travelling on the New Delhi-Rani Kamalapati Shatabdi Express were served expired bread during breakfast on Saturday.

The incident took place on Train No. 12002, popularly known as the Delhi-Bhopal Shatabdi Express, where 74 passengers were served packaged bread carrying a "use by" date of July 10, 2026. Several passengers reportedly consumed the bread before noticing that it had already expired.

The matter came to light after one of the passengers checked the bread packet and spotted the printed expiry date. The discovery prompted other passengers to inspect their food packets, following which multiple complaints were raised. Videos showing the expired bread packets were also shared on social media, with passengers tagging the Railways and seeking action.

Responding to the incident, IRCTC said it had taken the matter with "utmost seriousness" and imposed a hefty penalty on the catering service provider responsible for supplying the breakfast.

The railway catering body said the staff found responsible had been immediately de-rostered. It has also directed the catering agency to ensure that service personnel verify the expiry date of every packaged food item before serving it to passengers.

IRCTC further said it has ordered an inquiry into the incident to ascertain how the expired food items were served despite existing quality checks.

"The matter has been taken with utmost seriousness. A hefty penalty has been imposed on the service provider. The staff responsible has been immediately de-rostered," it said in a post on social media platform X.

"The service provider has also been strictly instructed to ensure all service staff check the expiry dates of all products before serving passengers, without exception," it added..."

In a mouse study, researchers found that aging ovaries showed increased immune activity, raising new questions about their role in women's health after the reproductive years. While more research is needed to confirm these findings in humans, the discovery could help scientists better understand menopause and develop future treatments.

"More than 100 obstetrician-gynecologists in Turkey have been fined, temporarily suspended, and ordered to undergo mandatory antenatal training after authorities took action over high Caesarean section rates, according to BirGün, which cited medical associations across the country.

The enforcement action follows Turkey's April 2025 ban on elective Caesarean sections at private hospitals without a medical indication and marks the latest step in President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's "Decade of the Family" initiative to encourage vaginal births and address the country's declining birth rate.

However, the decision has drawn criticism from medical organizations, which argue that Turkey's high Caesarean section rate stems from broader structural issues within the healthcare system rather than individual doctors' clinical decisions.

Turkey recorded the highest Caesarean section rate among the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s 38 member countries in 2023, with 615 out of every 1,000 live births delivered by Caesarean section.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that while Cesarean section rates up to around 10% at the population level are associated with reductions in maternal and newborn mortality, higher rates are not linked to additional reductions in mortality. WHO does not recommend a specific target rate for individual countries or hospitals.

The government's latest action against obstetricians comes as it seeks to reduce elective surgical births and promote vaginal delivery.

Turkey has also experienced a sustained decline in fertility rates in recent years, and the government has linked higher birth rates to broader national demographic goals.

The enforcement measures follow Turkey's April 2025 regulation banning elective Caesarean sections at private healthcare facilities without medical justification. The regulation aligns with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's broader maternal health and family policy, which has promoted..."
