Thank you for informing the people about things that they're putting in their bodies and their effects. Please keep making videos so that one day every Indian first sees the back of the label before buying a product. Eventually we could strive for a Nutri-Score system used in Europe.

We all need to support such people who have dedicated their life to awaken the sleeping masses. Kudos to his continued effort!
I am a mother of twins and so many doctors around recommended pediasure. One of my go to doctor simply said read the ingredients and then decide and if your child is eating balanced food you dont need it at all and that opened my eyes. So much of it is being marketed through apparent legit channels which makes people believe it must be right

This guy is a game changer. I’m already a big fan!
I fail to understand Varun being an OG, why this channel is so underrated and has less subscribers. It personally hurts me a bit! I would love to spread the world❤🎉

Awesome. Hats off to your knowledge.
You justify the word influencer. Huge respect.
Informative and wishing you more power 😄
Food pharmer's videos are game changers
Nice interview... You had done your homework and asked very well rounded and relevant questions instead of babbling like many other podcasters.. FYI, bhujiya is actually a source of protein as its made from moth dal....
What is your opinion of Herbalife products, esp their protein shakes replacing meals
I love the work he’s doing but just a suggestion if you’re going to different podcasts please bring up at least some new topics because you said the same things on the ranveer show
What is the benefits of drinking coconut water? Benefits of Coconut water. 1: Energy booster: ... 2: Best alternatives for sugary juices: ... 3: Helps to lose weight: ... 4: May benefit to manage diabetes: ... 5: May be beneficial for heart health: ... 6: May help to reduce high blood pressure: ... 7: Help in good digestion:
What is the best time to drink coconut water? Before and after meals: Drinking a glass of coconut water before meals, especially drinking coconut water early in the morning, will help the stomach feel full for a long time and help prevent the habit of overeating in a long day later. Coconut water is low in calories and easy to digest.

Why we should not drink coconut water in empty stomach? It remains as the best drink that is totally pure, without addition of any chemicals and not causing any kind of ill effects. it is consumed with empty stomach it will mix up with the acids of the gastric juice causing stomach ulcer.
what about protein shakes? they always have some artificial sweeteners and other stuffs?

Bhujia if made with chickpeas will surely have protein

Is it good to drink coconut water Everyday? While coconut water has many benefits, too much can be harmful. Coconut water has high levels of sodium, so drinking a lot can take up much of your daily sodium allowance, according to SF Gate.
I suggest the host should be courageous to allow name the drinks and food brands specifically when in discussion. Else it shows your weakness

Before blaming palm oil please think about the alternatives. The FMCG companies are not going to use cold presed oils or ghee. Palm is the best option out there when it comes to refined oils. It is much better for the environment. Please compare the pro and cons of palm oil vs other oils such as canola, cottons seed, sunflower, soy etc. I bet youll agree palm oil is better.

Can they use Atta instead of Maida? Is Maida healthier too? Can they use less sugar? It is not about using the ingredients but to know if consumed regularly unknowingly it can harm you. I bet you use palm oil for cooking at your home.

@@maxpayne6625 I would never use palm oil for cooking considering I can afford healthier oils. Having said that palm oil is less bad for human consumption and has a lesser environmental impact. On a Cost and Benefits analysis palm oil wins in a world where people want to eat potato chips, biscuits, chocolates etc while paying current prices.

Thank you for fear mongering. Instead of having someone who is qualified in labeling laws or food policy makers, you are promoting pseudo knowledge by having *Self proclaimed* expert on your forum
What this guy is doing is nothing new, Fituber is doing the same thing from years.
