Gokhul chat lanti valla deggara ok as their ingredients rotate fast and are fresh and no need to stock them with sulphur and other ingredients Quote

And also they need long extensive study to prove it medically and we are talking about 30 years of consumption. It's just like smoking . It took more than 6 decades between 1905-1965 for fda to finally tell public smoking causes cancer. It took more than 6 decades for that product ..before that everyone used to smoke on their work table.. Even until late 80s in USA .office floors used to have smokers. Quote
