episode Burnt Roti Causes Cancer? You’re Worried About The Wrong Thing cover

Beskrivelse

In this episode, I sit with Krish Ashok author of Masala labs, to break down the biggest food myths Indians still believe, from burnt roti and cancer to dal as “protein” and the fear around oil, Teflon, and microplastics. We go beyond viral claims and look at what actually matters for your health: habits, quantity, and real risk. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation will help you think clearly about food again, using science, not fear.
