Cotton
Candy… Healthy!
It’s been a
long time so I thought of writing something fun. Here in Madurai it is the
season of porulcatchi (Exhibition). I don’t know about you but I always love
eating food in exhibitions. And mostly we get the idea of one particular thing
when it comes to food.
And that is “Cotton
Candy”. Most of the people think that cotton candy is nothing but sugar on a stick.
Just because it’s made of sugar and water. And some people avoid them saying
it’s just like eating sugar directly from a bowl. So, for the people out there I
say “ Cotton candy is not unhealthy but to say it’s healthy is also a bit
complicated “.
After
analyzing some articles I found that cotton candy is healthy. We all know that cotton candy consist of sugar but
do you know that sugar makes people persevere longer and keeps them focused. According to researchers at Cornell University, cotton candy helps
create new blood vessels. It also helps us rebuild our tissues. Also note that cotton candy contains far less sugar than one can of a
regular soft drink. And the best among other carnival foods. And above all People who eat candy lives longer.

So next time you visit an exhibition don’t forget
to have some Cotton candy. And if you are the one who hate them then let’s
stick on with Candies alone.
