There is bad news for Indian and Chinese food lovers in Britain. A new study has revealed that while Indian food is generally high in fat and Chinese food is high in Sugar.

Campaigners have called for better labels on takeaway food after revealing massive levels of fat, salt and sugar in some of the UK's favourite dishes.

Which? magazine revealed that a woman eating a portion of curry could be consuming more than a whole day's recommended saturated fat intake.

One firm included incorrect nutritional information, claimed the testers.

Dear Mr Jha,

Although I do not mind you using my photograph of the curry, I need to point out that it is not relevant to your story. This is curry was made using organic ingredient from an organic farm in rural Suffolk. It is in fact very healthy food with carefully monitored salt and sugar levels. I would not want this used as a negative advert for an extremely good Public House.
