Teh Tarik – a simple beverage that is many Malaysians’ guilty pleasures, and the best part about it is you can have it anytime. The worst part? Like many sweet beverages, it’s 1 of the most notorious silent “killers” in Malaysia.
Just recently, a business page @kedidi_kakipalsu shared the story of a Malaysian man who has been a diabetic patient for 30 years now, and how he had to amputate his right leg after the wounds and scars did not get better. What actually contributed to his diabetes? Sadly, it’s the tasty Teh Tarik.The 55-year-old man, known as Lan admitted that Teh Tarik was among his favourite drinks of all time. He loved it so much that he had it every day for every meal.
Is Teh Tarik the only cause of all this? According to Lan, there is another sugary drink that led him to where he is today. “Sometimes, after a glass of Teh Tarik, I would get myself a can of Coca-cola. I rarely drank plain water.” It’s definitely a case of sugar overload that has unfortunately caused Lan his right leg. Despite his current condition, Lan admitted that he is practising a healthy lifestyle by having a balanced meal, and only eating healthy food. @kedidi_kakipalsu Abang Azlan share tabiat dia masa muda.Umur 45 dia kata dah start nampak kesan.Perlu kaki palsu tapi tak mampu? boleh hubungi kami.
