A Comparative Study on the Nutrient Content and Consumption of Tea Whitener in Females of Different Age Groups in Multan, Pakistan

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the consumption patterns of tea whitener among females in Multan, Pakistan. A total of 500 females from five different age groups participated in the study, and their responses were analyzed using a questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of females in all age groups consumed tea whitener regularly, with the highest consumption seen among the age group of 15-25 years. The study also revealed that the consumption of tea whitener was more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas. The data suggested that the use of tea whitener has been on the rise in Pakistan, with the industry valued at approximately $458 million and growing by 35% in the last five years. However, the study also highlighted the potential health risks associated with the consumption of tea whitener, which contains high levels of sugars, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. The findings of this study can be useful in developing public health campaigns and policies to raise awareness about the negative impact of excessive tea whitener consumption on health.
