I loved the phrase: " chemicals that extend their shelf life and decrease yours". So true.

Best line “ Chemicals extends their (packed food) shelf life, but reduces yours. “

As a food science student and practitioner. I fully agree!! Just dropping by to show my love for Indian food!

This video changed my life. No packaged food now. It has had a great impact on my body

This video brings up a really thought-provoking question: if bacteria won't eat it, do you really want to eat it?

Palki saving lives as well as serving gold star journalism. You are a gem to the world! ♥️from🇺🇸

My grandmother's is 98 years old... We live in village in Bihar ... With Organic farming, self dependent on vegitable , greenery etc . My village is totally cut off from western culture from dress to food 😃 .. i love my village 😸

I lived in India twenty years ago and absolutely loved that you made meals from real ingredients. Don’t let Western companies sell you our model of processed foods. It WILL kill you!

Palki, you have picked on a very sensitive subject. You have provided a much needed perspective. Nothing healthy can ever come packed in a box

I am living proof that what you say is true about processed and packaged foods. I used to get away with eating all kinds of junk before a catastrophic injury left me with chronic pain. Quite by accident I discovered that eliminating sugar and processed foods greatly lessened my pain. I began researching foods that promote and foods that prevent inflammation and plan my meals accordingly. Needless to say this requires total abstinence from refined foods. Thank you for your report. You're not really saying anything new but you say it with such plain-spoken certitude that it reinforces my resolve to embrace a way of eating I used to eschew as new-age hype.

I love how she deliver every pieces of details and information about this matter.

"Chemicals that extend their self lives but reduce yours" 👌👌

I knew I loved Indian food for a reason! This is a great video! I want to say the hardest thing I've ever done, I am not joking was to give up processed foods. I still eat saltine crackers when my stomach is upset but rarely. I lost 7 pounds giving up processed pretzels, snacks. Hard to do but it's worth it.

I’m a big fan of these spices for any kind of cooking. I’m glad to see this sort of public outreach for healthy living. We can see the obesity problem rising in China where people were much thinner at one time. So public outreach is absolutely important to a healthy society.

"NO RECESSION FOR BITCOIN AS U.S. GDP SHRINKS, ZIPMEX FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY " I saw this coming and I told my few friends about getting into crypto with me when I first started but they neglected my advise, now crypto is the only safe heaven right now

I recently (at age 62) gave up processed foods a few months ago and find it is so much more affordable to cook from scratch. I buy lots of frozen fresh vegetables and replaced meat with fresh eggs. I gave up sugar, flour, lard and replace with honey, butter and coconut flour or almond flour. I feel so much better and I have already lost 10 lbs without feeling deprived.

"Chemicals that extend their shelf life but reduce yours" what a punchline, if this doesn't open people's eyes and mind, nothing else will. What an amazing lady!! It's always such a pleasure listening to words just roll out of her mouth, Big fan 🙏🏽🤣

I have been trying to tell this to people around me, but unfortunately, they are unwilling to make changes in lifestyle. I myself do not eat any of these, and today just felt Palki ma'am presented all of my feelings by her excellent oratory skills ❤️. Those stupid daily ramen challenges !! I am really proud of OUR Indian tradition & culture. Everything. Thank you 💓🙏

At last, Palki I’m so glad that you put out this information as I’m always concerned and aware of the harm processed food can cause. I’ve always cooked fresh from scratch as I’ve never been a fan of processed foods also being a vegetarian I learnt to cook from my aunts, and grandmother so glad they were passed down cooking skills and hence onto my children. It’s both fun and enjoyable. It’s the parents responsibility to ensure the future generations do the same. I’ve worked full time but managed to put good simple Gujarati food with hot rotis everyday which my children enjoyed. It gave me so much pleasure knowing they ate healthily. Secondly, videos on UKposts about Indian street food are ruined by adding on piles of cheese and laden with mayonnaise in almost all street food. Not only it looks disgusting but unhealthy. I don’t think in general the public are aware of health problems they may encounter in future. Please make public aware. Indian food is so misconstrued. It’s the most tastiest and healthiest.

This is what News network should be, informative, precise and helpful. Excess salt is responsible for a lot of diseases

Many of the foods that we chow down on every day were invented not for us, but for soldiers. Energy bars, canned goods, deli meats all have military origins. Same goes for ready-to-eat guacamole and goldfish crackers. HPP is an exception

People are made to believe that most of the packed foods are healthy by companies with the help of celebrities. Unfortunately we fall into the trap

I'm From West Bengal and I feel blessed that I love in a state where homemade food are most common ❤️❤️❤️most of bengalee including my family cooked 3 meals a day and very rare we eat packed food when we are out side I brought home made tiffin I love home made food ❤️❤️❤️

Great segment ! 🤗🤗 Love Indian food...especially the more vegan options & I keep all those spices & many more, fresh in my cabinet. I have quite a few good books but "50 Healing Spices" by Dr. Bharat Aggarwal is one of the better books/texts out there. Healthy spices are not just endemic to areas around the Mediterranean, although plentiful there, and can be sourced from all over the World...

You guys are heroes at WION. Most reliable and honest news source for me

Being a man of science I can say, whatever you said is absolutely right.

I love the way Palkisha delivers the news, so human with feeling, I noticed they don't even bother to edit out her small fumbles here and there which is , quite honestly, very refreshing. Top marks to Gravitas.

Hats off to you for revealing the hazardous change of lifestyle along with replaced traditional food habits

Well after working in the food industry for 17 years I found all the crap that goes in the food could kill you , and you say it well for us to hear again ! Thank you .

Such sensible and real reporting on an issue that is relevant. Just by cooking at home one can add years to their lives. Buy local and safe your family.

Her voice makes me feel rejuvenated and her videos bring a smile on my face. Kindly come back on this channel

Absolutely wonderful! Long life and the passion. They say you are what you eat.I can't imagine packaging and process food what is going to turn us emotionally, physically psychologically also spirituality!

I remember many years ago in the 1960's and 1970's my grandmother telling me about how refined , frozen and food additives would cause damage and serious health problems. for years, I prepare my own home cooked meals , taking my meals for work and to events. Thank you for sharing this post.

"Traditional foods are healthy foods" Best thing I have heard 😇😇😇😇😇

Thank you Palki for educating. I love your way of presentation and genunity.

Thanks for this video. It’s a reminder for all of us to stop the consumption. It’s true, if you eat right, you don’t even need a doctor

Not EVERYONE has the privilege or discipline to sit and be educated on this. Thank you for all you do 🙏

We were taught the healthy 'margarine' in the late 1980s in UK and Western countries and that 'butter' is the heart disease contributor. Last few years they reversed this myth as they found out margarine causes serious health issues whilst butter or ghee in fact breaks down and is healthy as long as we are not sedentary and that we exercise regularly.

That's what I love about Turkiye 🇹🇷. Every corner has real food sold by simple vendors to nice adorable restos .

I love and adore you! You are the best newscaster anywhere to be found. Please do more about vaccines; me none, thank you. My ex-girlfriend has had 2 vaccines and 2 boosters for Covid. She recently tested positive and was home sick with Covid. She also had a flu-shot and will need another one soon for this fall here in the US. The mortality rates for those like her with so many vaccines have been rising; at first slowly and now more rapidly. It is going to get worse. Pre-packaged, take out and dine-in foods are ruining the health of many millions worldwide. Kosher dill pickles have pro-biotics and oddly, when only one is eaten daily, reduce sweet cravings to near zero. Keep reporting.

Excellent presentation!! A few points to reinforce your very accurate position. 1) A study done in the early 90s on a Native American tribe in southern Arizona and their blood relatives in north Mexico (Sonora State) - the Americans in the tribe ate processed/fast food and were overweight with many health problems. Their relatives in Mexico ate traditional foods were not overweight and did not have those problems. 2) Today in the U.S., a report last week showed that only 25% of military-age people are physically fit enough to serve in the military, which means 75% are not (from a combination of sedentary lifestyle and being overweight). 3) It is common knowledge to many here (in the U.S.) that we have been lab rats for the processed food/pharma/chemical additives industries since just after World War II. As a friend in the healthcare industry told me... "We don't cure disease, we treat disease." The money to be made is in treating, not curing. 4) the lyrics of a rock song from the late 1960s noted... "The food you feed your children is the cause of their disease." Even the hippies knew the truth. 5) There are many other examples but I'll leave it with this. A National Geographic magazine article from 2006 featured what was found in the blood of one of their reporters. They wanted to see if there were any industrial chemicals in his blood. They tested from only 350 or so chemicals out of the 100,000 sold in the U.S. The blood tests showed around 175 chemicals in his blood - including heavy metals, 16 pesticides, 10 dioxins, dozen of PCBs, Teflon (fluorine) and a host of others. The reporter was in his 30s and had never worked in industry. It is difficult today NOT to be a lab rat. Anything a person can do to minimize their exposure will help, even a little. Thanks again Palki, for this report.

But.....the label says healthy. They would not lie would they?🙄 Thank you Palki for highlighting basic truth and common sense.

I approve the use of packaged food for circumstances where one cannot cook, or maintain natural foods in good conditions. Long trips, disaster times, etc. Otherwise, choose natural and keep your body healthy 👍

This is fantastic. Thank you. I'm so happy I'm not the only one who thinks this way. We're a rarity in Singapore LOL. I feel so lonely sometimes.

The case for processed food has finally been laid to rest. Hats off to Palki for shining a bright light on the lies.

Was any person truly under impression that processed food is good/healthy? But great episode to explain what and how is poisonous.

Sometimes the way telling truth makes an impact. And you did it on me. Thanks and God bless you for sharing valuable knowledge ❤️

Very meaningful and precious words : chemicals that extends their ( packed foods) shelf life but reduce yours

Possibly the best Gravitas Plus episode because it affects every single person on the planet past, present, or future.

I like how she explained the benefits of home cooked food. Yes, she is right, we must eat fresh home made food for a healthy lifestyle because you know how it is done and what is in it. brava👍👏

thanks for this! I didn't have colorful cereal for years and I was just recently craving it. This just motivated me to cook something better. Cheers.

She is the best, common sense, truthful, and beautiful investigative reporter out there. When she speaks, we should listen.

No wonder why so many health issues came since packaged food started making its way to our homes.. Plz make more such videos !!!

Madame Palki Sharma, you are doing great service in enlightening the young parents about our home cooked food so that they will take care of the family's health more seriously.

I love you WION. You're the best in all you report. There's non other than yourselves.

Excellent Video!!!! Well done, keep up the good work of spreading awareness about health and food.

Hats off WION for sharing life saving information. The importance of this episode cannot be expressed in words. 🙏

How can I give this more than one thumbs up...Fantastic content and delivery as usual...!!!

Awesome! Thank you for opening people's eyes, since advertising seems to be able to close them. Keep up the good work! All blessings for you; you're most likely saving thousands of lives ❤️

Most sensible and relevant video i have seen recently. A reminder to those who knew the facts but still were complacent...and there is a gamut of diseases waiting for a gang of doctors to treat(may be your next video is on this?). Well articulated and well done !

I am so glad to hear what you are advocating. I have lived in different countries, but have been cooking typical Indian meals. I even prepare my own corriander, cumin, chilli pwd etc to be sure that there is no adulteration. We drink Tulsi, lemon grass and ginger tea. Home cooked meals are labour and time intensive but It could be managed by involving family members in chores if planned properly. If I can do it by working full time so can you. Live healthy folks!

What a world we live in when as a Canadian I find far more value in Indian media than that which is in my own country.

Need to salute to you and your editorial team becoz u r questioning the multi national food processing companies

Being a food scientist i am 100 agree with you mam.we should move on organic food.which are traditional and healthier

This is the first episode I’ve watched from Gravitas and is was excellent. Not too long, precise, informative and frankly scary!! I don’t eat Indian food but I will be doing a big re-think. Also I love microwave popcorn but didn’t know about the packaging. Back to the way my mum used to do it when I was a kid - just pop it naturally

I have completely stopped eating packaged foods almost 6 years back. I am not consuming any sort of preservatives, artificial colours, fragrances, artificial sweeteners or what not. It changed my body, mind and soul for the better. I don't eat refined sugar, added salt, flouridated toothpaste, and refined flour noodles anymore. I am totally dependent on home cooked food. And if I don't have time or have a busy schedule I prefer fruits, sprouts, soaked nuts, buttermilk, home made curd for a quick fix of hunger. All my personal care products are free from harmful chemicals. ❤️

Palki, this is EXCELLENCE! Great presentation/education for all that are ready to listen and pay attention...

This is something which is not driven by the capitalist. Thank you so much for sharing this information boldly.

That's why I follow you Palki. You are always on point. You have great narration skills. Your research is well about a topic. You are uncompromised. Thanks for this! I hope it saves lives.

Love from India, kudos to team for encouraging culture and healthy food habits, specially admire ur dressing sense with full of sobriety and delivering style too

I like how she just speaks her mind and truth , ❤️

This woman is saving my life in daily basis! Love to you my dear 🥰🥰🥰

I am 50yo and I have started eating my healthiest after covid19 lock down. My health dramatically changed within weeks after eating my own cooked fresh organic food. The most impact was zero sugar, and changing the oils while avoiding all processed foods. I dropped 25 pounds but I have been going back up and down when I socialize and sometimes eat unhealthy foods. However I love that I can control and know exactly how to eat healthy. My doctor for 20+ years told me continue to do whatever you are doing because it is working.

I always proud of our indian living style and food our home made food, our variety of spices... And thank to WION i got more confidence in our traditional living style....😇🙏🙏🙏

Wow loving it from the very read of its title.. this is why our own Grandmothers and fathers even lived happily healthily and longer.. Stopping them will impact economics but that's fine because letting them longer will impact either way by causing enough damage to the country's people in a few years anyways.. The cancer is already ruling us.. Let us open our eyes at least now... we need such honest and ethical journalism like this.. Long live Wion, Smt. Palki Sharma Updadhyay and her Able Team. JaiHind JaiSeethaRam

Muchas gracias 🙏. I love your videos, thank you for helping us open our eyes to the truth or for those who followed your advices and videos like myself is a reminder to reinforce our knowledge about what foods are good for us and what’s not.

Lost about 30kg since beginning of the pandemic because of homemade food and intermittent fasting, after packing on a lot of weight over several years of living in London and living on mostly ready meals (time constraints and no stove at home). The most processed food I have now is chocolate once a month. I still have cakes and cookies, pasta, curry - everything, except I make it from scratch. No processed food means no hormone-altering chemicals, means no insane food habits. Walking 15km/day in London - getting fat, walking less now - but in much better shape. No amount of exercise can make up for a poor diet.

This is something western media would avoid discussing since all of them are sponsored by the processed foods industry.

Thank you for highlighting this really important topic. 2 Wholesome meals per day is what we really need. But Right now we adults are stuffing ourselves with excess nutrition 4 to 5 times a day. Makes no sense at all.

Absolute..true palki n thanks for the human heart ..as well all powers to your goodness

I am so happy that WION always present us quality content. Thanks guys🙏🏻

Good thing that my mother cooks and cares about my family's health

Diana you are just in my mind "chemicals that extend their shelf life and decrease yours". So very very true. My Teacher Palki Sharma. 

I feel like this lady's voice makes it feel like every sentence that comes out of her mouth is a bold statement

True, my father will turn 83 next month. He is perfect (except hearing loss and little memory issue). He eats only home cooked food.

Extremely good story about processed foods and what they do to you. I was glad to see that this topic is being talked about so as to reveal it for what it really is, a form of poison tp your body.

@ Wion Team & Palki Madam Ji, What an eye-opening content. It put me in a nightmare as I wasn't aware that it even caused you the Cancer. Hats off to all the research team and analysts who have put their blood and mind in providing such life saving content. It's really not news it's a life saving antetode.

Such an amazing video beautiful lady! This is real. We have been experiencing this. 10/10. Make more videos like this.

"Our traditional food is our health food" You are absolutely right Palki Sharma Upadhyay👍🏼

I so appreciate you for this. I do cook almost daily because of the way prepared foods make me feel. I'd been leaning towards considering prepared food to save time, but I'll try more big cook-ups. You've re-energized my determination. I've read the nutritional content of packaged foods promoted as healthy and noticed the nutritional contents are often very low compared to real food. And yes, those recalls ... Thanks for your truth telling

Thanks to UKposts we can still hear her beautiful voice....we are addicted to Palki's narration.

Yet again another Excellent Teacher! Thankyou.

Thank you Palki for another exceptional reporting! Not only have you covered the daily news in a understandable way but you bring a fresh insight in news rporting that is mind stimulating and thought provoking. You also, covered in this video, the matter of daily living in the same way. God bless you. SUPERB!

Thank you. Everyone tells me how much I'm overreacting when I cook everything from nearly scratch for myself an my 2 year old daughter. I have loads of dishes, cleaning to do after... everyone whinges.

Great information. Please keep it up. I am fan of your reports on various subjects like political, economic, food, environment and list goes on.

Dear Ms. Palki Sharma and Research Team, A huge leap in mediating the information on packaged and processed food. Congratulations! I believe that natural and prebiotic food is the key to live healthy in post pandemic situation. Kindly verify with your research team and highlight. Beat regards.

It's actually Hong Kong people who have the highest life expectancy in the World. It's not just about having a good diet. Moderate exercise is very important too.

I always avoid packed food, and you boost my confidence. Thank you ma'am

Thanks a lot for sharing this. It made me rest assured that what I take normally in spite of my busy schedules is right. It's perfectly said that home made food is always good. Although sometimes I become made to have some biscuits or cakes as tiffin,I mostly depend upon foods made by my own hands in my home. Thank God that I'm safe.

Great report again - pls. also bring something about the hidden sugar in ready made dishes like Pizza, Sauces, Alcohol and how carbs are converted into sugar and stored as fat on the liver etc.
