Dude... just 16, My wife buys 5lbs kaju ko barfee, 2lbs laddu for Laxmi puja...we then hand it out to all the neighbors and friends as prasad... Ain't no body got time to eat 7lbs of laddu...You are right .. eating sweets causes diabetes and people with diabetes have a higher risk of blindness and other vision problems. Diabetes can damage the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure. Diabetes can cause damage to the nerves that run through the body.

We eat half piece of laddu and barfee.

The online official source says that you have to offer 7lbs of laddu to Laxmi or
1. Your bank balance will go down to 5 digits.
2. Your credit card balance will go high
3. Your stocks will go down
4. Your business will do ok
5. You will have a flat tire
6. Your roof will leak and your insurance will not cover it yet it will go high.
the list goes longer than what this text box supports.
