Scaremongeristan: Ep 1: Where Gluten Marries Cyanide And Makes Lactic Acid

​@@familyforonehumanity5630at least this banker is open to reading & learning. While average Whatsapp uncles in Desi desh are pretty much 10th Fail & never seen nor read a research paper. So yeah getting blind info from KZbin is a problem , but it's still million times better than whatsapp bhikari Bhakts & their uncle companions.

Hi! Can you please make videos on the following topics- 1) Myths about hypothyroidism 2) Avoiding Dairy in PCOS 3) Essential nutrients for growing kids and their sources 4) Eating raw vegetables (salads) and cooked vegetables together 5) Eating raw vegetables and fruits at night 6) Milking cucumber increases its nutrition It will be very helpful if you make videos on these.

[@anweshabasu3037]

I really appreciate how you debunk myths with mostly high school science, which many of us let it bury in the yellowed pages of the high school science books only. However, the final part of the video all of a sudden brought me back to my 9th standard biology class of aerobic and anaerobic respiration with a tiny pinch of nostalgia. By the way, the lady misinforming about the lactic acid uncannily resembles Mrs. Maneka Gandhi. 😶

[@krishashok]

Thank you

[@Simple_Indian]

Thanks for this Ashok. I have heard no less than the much celebrated and highly qualified doctor - Dr. B.M. Hegde - claiming that gluten in wheat is harmful for diabetic patients and doctors who ask a diabetic to switch from polished rice to wheat / roti / chapati are actually keeping one diabetic. This myth had to be busted. The other two myths were easy to call out, though it's also a myth/common advise by many on youtube to peal the skin of almonds after soaking them overnight as the peal is hard to digest for many people. Donno how much truth there is in this one. The milk one by Smt Maneka Gandhi almost had me fall off my chair laughing (ROFL ?). That was the easiest to call out.

[@krishashok]

I need to do a separate "The Problem with" video on Dr Hegde, but I want to invite an actual doctor to debunk his claims to lend credibility (given his illustrious past credentials)

[@Simple_Indian]

@@krishashok It would be great if you could get someone like Dr Abby Philips a.k.a. "The Liver Doctor" who too keeps debunking popular health-related myths, but mainly in the AYUSH space. Highly qualified doctors willfully peddling myths is dangerous as they have a large fan following.

[@Simple_Indian]

@@krishi.0 Yes, millets are much better than cereals like rice n wheat. Wish Govt encouraged cultivation of various varieties of millets instead of rice or wheat (with assured MSP) to make them both accessible and affordable for the masses. Millets are a healthier option for everyone, not just diabetics / those with metabolic disorders. Likewise, cold-pressed oil in preferable to refined oil (again, hard to source for most folks, esp in smaller cities/towns). Vegetarians like me have ltd options as protein source, so low-fat cow milk is a primary source. Daily exercise is a different challenge altogether :-)

[@meinmein3326]

Woh forget Dr BM Hegde, How about Dr khadar the millet man of india also saying the same thing. He's awarded padmashree and works and cures people based on his decades old independent research. 🤔

Amazing debate in Amy podcast about vegan and non vegan…you spoke precisely considering whole spectrum of Indian population( from privileged to people who are just making enough to survive). You considered every aspect before making your point unlike others who started to build around set point. I felt we have to consider being compassionate towards humanity first, at least till we treat malnutrition and hunger and health issues… I felt somewhere we are forgetting to be compassionate to fellow humans in the name of ethical and moral superiority..

Hi Krish, Can you make a video about- 1. Phytic acid: Whether it is good or bad and how to reduce it in oats and nuts and legumes. Also whether it is safe to eat raw rolled oats. 2. Oxalates: Whether it is good or bad and how to reduce oxalate content in foods. Thanks! PS: I had gifted my friend your Masala Lab book.

[@krishashok]

1. Dont break your head. Soaking legumes will reduce phytates. A little bit of phytates is actually good for health 2. Unless you eat a lot of spinach and also have a genetic predisposition to form kidney stones, dont break your head

[@ryan19899]

@@krishashok Thanks for the prompt reply. Tired of the fear mongering influencers telling otherwise.

[@shubhradey1108]

​@@krishashokstones are mostly calcium oxalates. When we eat to much of oxalate containing food there is chance of stone formation. That's we can balance this with enough calcium intake which will prevent stone formation. Ps: palak paneer is not that paneer will stop iron absorption obtained from palak. But its good recipe to cutout the oxalates of palak by adding paneer. Paneer and palak both are good sources of calcium 😊

[@MahiMahi-yu5jo]

1:04 My cousin is one of the rare few with Celiac. She's also lactose intolerant and consuming meat or eggs strains her intestines. It is straining for her to find food that isn't contaminated with gluten. She's lucky she's Indian as most of her meals is rice, dal and veggies. But she can't eat so many snacks we take for granted. I had to help her out by creating recipes with rice and millets. When these influencers online say remove wheat and gluten from your diet, do they know how many foods they are removing from a region's menu? Some with incredible cultural significance? Avoiding wheat means no chole batura, pani puri, samosa, kachori, holige, gujiya, soan papdi etc. No lactose means you might as well throw away 90% of the sweets made across India. Because of one of these influencers, my mom believed that people could recover from cancer by drinking carrot juice everyday. She carried this false notion in her for five years, irrespective of what any one else in the family said. It wasn't until my aunt (her sister) had to go for chemo that she comprehended how devastating cancer is as a disease. Sharing false information isn't just bad, it could prove fatal.
