Zero Calorie Food: What Am I Eating? Is It Healthier? | Talking Point | Full Episode

[@d.c.484]

5~20 calories is negligible. Most people can eat 1800 calories per day and still be in calorie deficit.

[@Janjanjan-mk1wb]

I never believed in food being labelled as zero calories. If you want zero calories drink plain water.😅

[@perfectallycromulent]

they should make it clear that real honey is not a zero calorie food. whatever other thing they're calling "honey" is, but it ain't honey.

[@arvs7356]

TLDR; your “zero calorie” drinks are not entirely free of calories BUT the amount is negligible with normal consumption. Nevertheless, while a calorie deficit diet works, it may not be sustainable in the long run (ie. you can’t just eat konjac jelly and coke zero every time). It’s best if you get your caloric consumption thru complex carbs.

[@johnsonjohnson3122]

I dont understand why more and more people obsessed with zero calories food. They should exercise more instead. Because 0 calories means less nutritional benefits also. Why should I inhibits body metabolism by putting less nutrition just to lose weight? Better spend the calories by exercising but still get enough minerals, vitamins, essential fat and protein.

[@embershen364]

My gym trainer said that losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% exercise. So I'm "forced" to eat calories deficit.

[@matlepak9694]

How about an episode or two that discusses the ultra processed milks in adult formula, baby milk, nutritional milk for patients, and even flavoured milk. HPB labels them as healthy but apart from being extremely expensive, current science suggests they are actually very unhealthy

[@eatdriveplay]

u sure the labels are from HPB?

[@Jsarmy87124]

Milk is bad for health, vegan fake milk is water and a little of haricot mungo almond... whatever the flavour

[@Ben-kh2rh]

i would like to know Shrey's skincare routine. Please like for CNA to see this 😀

[@nhung2529]

You make me only focus on his skin haha

[@koaminsamudera235]

I strongly believe that monkfruit extract should not be labeled as honey!

[@LittleStrawbirdy]

improve nutritional labelling by giving the calorie & nutrition information for 100g. standardise it so companies can't cheat by having a small serving size that no one uses.

[@celestialstar124]

The one and only zero kcal product is water. The only negative kcal product is Ice water.

[@simonialei9020]

Water is the only true 0 calorie. Also, the concept of 0-calorie foods/beverages is problematic because it simply reduces the role of exercise to calorie deficiency and, therefore, weight loss. It ignores the other benefits of exercise other than weight loss. For example, exercise improves your mood and energy, provides cardiovascular benefits, and prevents fragility by building muscles, which in turn these muscles burn more calories for you. So bottomline, exercise and eat whole foods, and you will gain so much more benefits than weightloss.

[@jeanne387]

It states zero honey so no honey. You can read the ingredients as a consumer.

[@heroheng3840]

So simply put it zero calories is not accurate and people don't really care lol just eat what you desire.

[@pragaming9868]

Its called zero 'honey'. I personally wont mistake it or any products with 0 to be the real deal.. Take things in life with a grain of salt.

[@Arekusan678]

I think you will tend to over eat when eating zero calorie products.

[@Wts185]

I would like to see artificial sugar vs sugar pound for pound which is harmful . I think sugar is more harmful

[@wilbertpradana5144]

Sugar for t2d artificial for cancer pick your battle 😂

[@junjung2975]

but artificial taste disgusting any "0" drink is disgusting rather drink plain water than those crap

[@Fourtune1]

Artificial is the worst.

[@naaleyy]

there's a docu by CNA on this

[@OPPAWONTMARRYYOU]

@@wilbertpradana5144 You know cancer cells feed on cancer as well, right?

[@JJOlajideOlatunji]

Can do episode of doing Zero sugar drinks are really 0 sugar and is it healthy to drink for a month straight? Like Coke Zero ,100Plus zero ect…. PLEASE

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Yes it is called water

[@gerlinplays1806]

@@RabbitWatchShop HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@claris_ooi]

Zero sugar drinks basically uses sugar substitutes like aspartame, stevia, erythritol etc.

[@katzcapzz]

Calories aside, some of these sweeteners can cause digestive issues (esp for those with IBS) so it's really more about knowing your body and what it can tolerate. Bottomline is it never fails to follow the golden rule of moderation - the fact that these sweeteners have very few calories shouldn't be taken as a green light to drink these sweetened drinks like water

[@raphus]

CNA resident madlad steven chia will do it in a heartbeat

[@ambition112]

0:22: 🍲 Chef explains how he creates zero calorie meals and claims they have a negative calorie effect. 5:40: 🍽 Most products marketed as zero calories actually contain some calories due to rounding off and variations in marketing. 10:34: 🍯 The video discusses a zero-calorie honey product made from monk fruit and its unique properties. 14:19: 🔍 Consumers should be mindful of reading and understanding product labels to ensure accuracy and make informed choices. 18:15: 🍽 Negative calorie foods are a myth, as their thermic effect is negligible and they may have potential side effects. Recapped using Tammy AI

[@nixi-bixi]

Tictacs are zero calories yet are also 100% sugar, because 1 serving is 1 tictac and they are allowed to round down. Serving size matters.

[@bren_da_]

Steven please!

[@G0n9G0n9]

Zero calorie foods are being marketed as healthy alternatives, often favored by those looking to lose weight or maintain a calorie deficit. However, many products labeled as zero calories actually contain some calories upon testing, with most having less than five calories per serving. The discrepancy arises due to rounding off and variations in labeling standards. Consumers may be misled by the labeling, assuming products are entirely calorie-free when they are not. While some zero calorie products, like a specific honey substitute made from monk fruit extract, may indeed have no calories, it's essential for consumers to scrutinize labels and serving sizes to make informed choices.

[@SmokinJo-i4o]

2 cal for Coke Zero is basically nothing ? A large size Mocha Frappe is almost 700cal. One large Mocha Frappe is almost equal to 350 Coke Zero which you can drink for a whole year. Like the chef said, just by "digestion", sleep and doing nothing you are already burning calories. On average your body actually burn hundreds to thousands calories per day by doing nothing the 5 cal per serving logic acutally makes scene you can burn them off by doing nothing throughout the day.

[@felibubbletea]

Tea and coffee is also zero calories tho, but not if you add sugar, milk and creamer

[@gerlinplays1806]

just eat what you love, makes you happier, and exercise, brings more joy and benefit to the body :)

[@thatkoalabear]

This host looks and sounds good 👍🏻 very helpful and informative video too! Basically, you just need to find balance in your daily caloric intake and monthly expenses. You are going to burn an average of 1800 calories a day for females and 2400 a day for males under 40 years old so as long as you don’t over do something, you’re safe. More importantly is your carb, proteins and dietary fat intake but if knowing more about that will cause brain fatigue or anxiety, then it’s better to just stick with basic calorie count 🌸

[@erwinsaputra3645]

that's too much for asian, it's definitely for western people I think asian women bmr is around 1200-1500, asian men 1500-2000

[@erwinsaputra3645]

seriously people believe that those foods has 0 calories? lol so how to make your product has 0 calories on the label? put the lowest amount of serving size and voila your product is 'calorie free' lol

[@ImNotSureAndIDK]

Bring back Steven!

[@infinitesalsa4422]

The dramatization of negligable amounts of calories is comical. 1000+ calories in 1 bottle of spray? You'll get through that spray in maybe like a year, and in a year, most people will burn like 730000 calories.

[@javierlee]

The fact that we are facing a diabetes and CKD crisis in Singapore, we should adopt a more positive perspective to alternative sweeteners. And note the Dr said SOME of the artificial sweeteners. The end note of this episode seemed to condemn all.

[@zerodegreescelsius]

There are no zero-calorie foods, period. Overeat anything and you will still put on weight. If you were to eat those zero-calorie meals (at the start of the programme) and go to bed on a full stomach, you WILL gain weight.

[@thihal123]

I have never thought to pronounce konjac as kon-jack. I believe it’s pronounced kon-yack.

[@netelf]

It literally says zero honey, like there is no honey 😉😉

[@kaptnbluebar6905]

Would be interesting to know if the sugar substitute chemicals are in anyway hazardous for health. Who care if a product has 0 or 4 calories...

[@flowertowerrr]

What happened to Steven!

[@starstriker1881]

I am surprised the video did not mention the studies made on artificial sugar content like aspartame which was subjected to side effects like alzeimer . Not my words...came from study found

[@BeaHindebars]

None of those items are food, avoid.

[@SoulZeb]

Anything COULD be Zero Calories as long as the portion size is small. Thats just basic logic

[@whatismyactualname]

Anything could be zero calories if you know how to bend the rules. 5 calories? Oh. Can round down to zero. 6 calories? Round up to 10? Nah. Apply 20% variance. Zero calorie "honey"? Nah. Let's think of a smart marketing way to fool the consumer.

[@dhanameetsnao]

The konjac jelly is shocking. It is widely sold in the drugstores here in Japan. I thought it was a zero calorie food. 😮

[@Torch2mua1]

Honestly I'd still get those items since they are single digit calories

[@kveragoo]

Love this episode, and really liked all the interviewee attitudes too...

[@pushniqa]

This is fun to watch cause isn't it just a labeling issue? I have sriracha available to buy and its definitely not 0 calories on the label

[@derworm]

full fat butter eaten in moderation is way better for health than highly processed zero cal butter spray.

[@alisa2702]

Everyone with an ED watching this like it’s old news, thier shock is amazing

[@puddingce]

The Zero Honey product is actually smart and if you thought it was honey and think the manufacturer should do more on that end it's on you for not reading the ingredients, please be smarter when buying anything and read, you will be shocked how much you get taken advantage of.

[@marizrowennamachete7364]

zero calories or not most these foods are processed foods, so still probably bad.

[@Hakaima01]

So... They revealed the zero honey openly but does anyone know where to get the zero calorie Sriracha?

[@NobitaSwag]

Is coke zero really healthier than normal coke?

[@StevieCooper]

I had no idea it was zero calorie per SERVE! I thought I could consume the whole bottle of the product and consume no energy. Interesting!

[@GameFuMaster]

if it's too good to be true, it probably is

[@yongjian6547]

This video is quite pointless. Who cares about 2-4 calories? Completely negligible. You can just walk it off. Well, you will even burn those calories in your sleep.

[@kinokunia]

wheres Steven?

[@monky91]

Would love to see comparison between farmed fish and wild fish as well

[@symphony86]

Zero calory doesn't necessary mean healthy.. as usual, moderation is the key.. you never know what was added to the zero calorie product as substitute to maintain the taste.. better choose low processed food instead.. its still too early to see the side effect of these substitute.. i dont want to risk my health 30 years later when the side effect is finally acknowledged..

[@aywu8702]

Zero Honey, it's zero honey indeed 😂

[@sobanejaz123]

very well explained

[@ReviewMedic]

That's is why always need to do proper checks and not just listen blindly to people when they tell you things.

[@jesslynho7756]

watch greg doucette and get educated guys

[@theloniuspunk383]

That guy is a visibly ill narcissist. Just drink blood, eat organs ect.

[@meloveultraman]

Pays so much for all these foods…. See the discomfort when they discover there is a single digit calorie count…..

[@ribofen]

This is irrelevant but its interesting how the western looking doctor sounds like mixed Singaporean and PRC.

[@starstriker1881]

Sounded like an asian trying to speak english in US

[@patrascoboris3764]

Zero calories, the last thing you should be concerned about 😊

[@3dogawaConan]

Just drink water.

[@MemoryAmethyst]

The “honey” should be renamed Hunee so that people can see at a glance that it is not 🐝 product.

[@UnsaltedCashew38]

In Canada, they stopped allowing companies calling their products "Milk" like Almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk as it is misleading and not actually milk which comes from an animal. The same should apply to this "honey" company as its not actually honey. Honey comes from bees, not a monk fruit syrup. Now those drinks are called 'Almond/cashew/oat beverage / juice'. This honey needs to be monk syrup.

[@boispad]

YOLO just eat and enjoy

[@MeiqiChia]

Just eat and enjoy food

Anyone that came directly from the episode on protein n notice the weight loss 😅

I just finished my favorite fried rice after a 60-minute spin bike session. I needed the calories. 😂😂😂😂

[@embershen364]

Where is the fried rice?

[@damienwanderer]

that cup of zero cal tape water doesnt cost u nothing, wait for your PUB bills

[@QhamyuQ]

If we are talking about mislabelling, isn’t the zero honey worst that zero calories? Only the ingredient mentioned about monk fruit and the rest is sort of promoting it as honey?

[@teemychow6483]

What do you expect from honey? If it's flavor and taste, then it's a honey substitute.

[@xfool]

no mention of allulose...

[@marvint480]

Our Govt body does it absolutely wrong. Based on 14:04 SFA and HPB should check on every manufacturer for any "Deceptive Marketing" and stop the "Ownself Check Ownself" mentality coined by PAP. As for Zest, I would recommend a change of label from Zero Honey+ to Honey Flavour Zero/ Like Honey Zero+ "Taste as good as the real honey"

[@lshadeline]

Sometimes I ordered no sugar kopi c the coffee Aunty ask me are you sure you want no sugar

[@headlesschicken111]

Another advert in disguise

[@Follow.Jesus.Christ]

There is no such thing as 0 calories. Maybe probably only air

[@guru6831]

Calories are irrelevant. The important thing is nutrition. For example: though sweets contain less calories than nuts do, nuts boost your health whereas sweets kill your health!

[@Thunderbolt89]

The irony for the senior designer; kinda goes to show it's not just about the diet but exercise too. And I worry for the clients under that fitness trainer who didn't even know about this, lol

I would like to see and discussion about foreign workers on Sunday and public holiday mass gathering at the shopping mall empty space or empty space around the area. Some even picnic at the overhead bridges. I wonder should they even or can do that? Not to say if they will dirty the area after they finished at the end of the day. Do feel if there is a topic on the above, will be interesting for all to know. Please to hear! 😅

[@lastChang]

To *de-risk* from unhealthy oily Chinese foods, people start eating more Japanese 🇯🇵 raw fish Sashimi.

[@pentecost_]

They're still as good as zero calories. The true calories presented is negligible. 60 calories from 10 konjac jellies? Burned in a 5 min run.

[@BULLIER8]

Bruh it's just 1-2 sugar in % U wan completely zero go drink water lol

[@kentong9514]

Hahahahahaha. Still believe in calories in and calories out? It is not calories that make us obese. Also Dr Andrea, the report that you mentioned, it is erythritol that causes blood cots, but again, if you study carefully, the report has big flaws. so many misinformation in one video.
