According to a research conducted by a UN-based educational institution, BJP MP Ganesh Singh has claimed that speaking (daily usage of) Sanskrit language intensifies your nervous system and keeps diabetes and cholesterol under control. Engaging in a discussion on the Sanskrit universities bill, MP Ganesh Singh also claimed that according to research by NASA (the US space research organization), if computer programming was done in Sanskrit, it would have been flawless.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease in which a person's body produces insufficient amounts of insulin or high blood sugar levels rise (because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin or both). Dr Dilish Malik states that "As far as a language is concerned, it cannot prevent or cure the condition of metabolism. So far no evidence has been found stating that language can cure a disease."
