This is a fine example of the fact that when you take any argument too far it becomes preposterous. Balance and moderation is the key togather with self-discipline.

It's refreshing to see a rational and calm person among so many influenzas

Reason why i like this person's content so much. No one speaks the facts out in such a balanced manner

As a baker who has grown with a mother who baked bread 50 years ago, I have been baking my own 100% atta regular and sourdough bread. With no maida mixed in. It's extremely tasty, but people don't get that "real" bread is denser and earthier, even if it is made from maida. The fermentation carried out by yeast really helps. Chappattis often give me bloating, but yeast bread (homemade) doesn't. Just baked myself a batch of mini croissants 😅...but I won't disown friends who like their sandwich bread. Baking sourdough, brioches, and any other 3 -day breads can be quite a task as you have to time things as you run about your day

I bought Britannia Whole Wheat bread with no maida the other day and found it more filling and tasty than white bread. I know it's not perfect, it has industrial food preservatives and additives but still comparatively liked it more than maida bread I have eaten junk foods all my life. Big fan of pizza, pasta etc but have reduced their intake and increased other more whole grain options like jowar bhakri etc in fact eating one right now while typing this. I also bought whole wheat pizza base thin crusts and made delicious pizzas at home. Feeling much satiated for longer and paired with exercise, health is improving a lot. Exercise, increasing intake of healthy options and occasionally consuming tasty junk stuff in small portions for variety is the way forward.

Best video i watched today. It focused not merely on scientific facts and a one-sided argument but gave importance to reality and practicality into consideration.

I usually have a varied breakfast schedule, bread and Cornflakes and puffed rice according to the time I have before rushing off to the icu. Still i find that i end up bloated after 2 hours, why? Because of a late dinner, which isn't fully digested in time. My mornings are healthy but i temd to overeat at dinner. So why should we demonize a breakfast option when it is the diet that is not balanced well

Sir, what if I hate rotis & parathas? What if I want to have maida parathas/ bread for dinner every day? Is it good for you? Isn't maida bad? Here you seem to suggest it is only bad because it lacks fibers and doesn't have more nutrients. But isn't it hard to digest as well? My mom won't let me eat maida every day.

It's okay to eat bread, but we need to value our good old habits of whole grains. Ultimately, the west is going to replace their foods with whole grains and we would be eating all purpose flour because we're always behind the west.
