Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Many parents in India give Horlicks to their children in hope that it will help them excel in studies.In UK, Horlicks is sold as an aid to promoting sleep at night and the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, is recommending a glass of Horlicks before going to bed to have a good sleep.Horlicks is sold in India and UK. If you Visit www.horlicks.com, you'll find that the Horlicks India website is still under construction (at the time of writing this email in May 2005), whereas the UK site www.horlicks.co.uk COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'"> is up and running and clearly documents sleep related problems and how Horlicks helps in sleeping.Malt contained in drinks such as Horlicks, Ovaltine, etc., is responsible for promoting sleep. People who drink alcohol will be familiar with malt, especially with barley malt, which is used in the process of producing beer, lager, etc. You might have even heard of malt whiskey.Let me be clear in stating that I'm not advocating against horlicks or any other similar drink containing malt. My only goal of this email is raise the level of awareness among parents that Horlicks helps in sleeping and hence, should "not" be given to students while they're trying to study!Many average children are already stressed out due to overload at school. What is the point in making them drowsy and sleepy when they go to school or when they are trying to study!Initially I didn’t believe this, but went thru the site and found the verses stated below.http://www.horlicks.co.uk/main.html Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.
