Children are deprived of nutrition owing to their dietary tantrums. To replenish these nutrients idea of health and nutritious drink was advocated. These health drink contain Malted grain powder [approximately 40%], Sugar, Cocoa Solids, Liquid Glucose, Emulsifiers, Raising Agent, Vitamins & Minerals. Which are supposed to mixed with milk and consumed in desired quantity. For the sake of my study contents of these nutritional drinks were studied alongside the concept of viruddha. It is clearly forbidden in Sushrut Samhita to consume malted grains with milk. Consumption of malted grain with milk is samyoga viruddha. So, it is apathakara diet.
