Eating maida also raises your bad cholesterol (LDL), makes you fat, clogs arteries, raises blood pressure, disrupts blood sugar, keeps you hungry, makes you crave for sweets, causes mood swings and ruins your health, looks and relationships.

Maida is a highly refined, bleached flour used in India. It is different from the flours used in Europe and the US, though it is similar to the soft cake flour popular in the southern US.
