Gravitas Plus: Is your health food healthy? 

Someone give this woman an award. Peak journalism right here folks

Someone said that if your grandma can’t recognise what’s on your plate, probably it’s not good for your health. Good insight, thank you.

"If you want to lose weight, aim for a calorie deficit. If you want to be healthy, eat a balanced diet. Food is not your enemy. Self doubt and false advertising are." Awesome declaration of facts.

Sensible, logical and plausible advice from Palki on food. These and other news reports with their directness, common sense and scientifically plausible advice are so refreshing. Thank you WION, Gravitas and Palki.

I cannot believe this kind of journalism exist.

finally the horrible truth we are stupid and our grandparents are smart.

I had fallen for ‘healthy’ food back in 2014-2017 and by mid 2018 I started having SO many digestion issues. This lady is telling truth - my body has gone through the ill effects of smooties, protien powder, seeds, almond milk - avoid avoid avoid these - once your natural digestive system is ruined its SO very hard to restore it.

I like when palki said "Food is not your enemy but self-doubt and fault advertisments are" I really love the way she is making news God bless

My mother lived for 97 year and she never eat those things,,,Its all abaout money and nothing else.

‘Food isn’t the enemy, self doubt and false advertising are.” Well said!

I love how she collects all this information and gives it to us in simple terms... She has a wonderful charm about her...🧐🥰🥰🥰

Excellent facts that are 100% true. Palki, you are an awesome journalist with true facts. A true example of a journalist that India should have. Thank you for putting some sense in us. There are so many youngsters falling prey to false advertising and losing out on essential vitamins, minerals etc that the body requires.

The journalism India needs! She is so inspirational

She's my favorite journalist, I watch her almost everyday (and I'm american btw). WION should know they have a great journalist and research team. Please pay her more, I don't care how much she makes, she (and her team) deserves much more!!

This show is perfect about researched content especially facts driven, well articulation and presenting in simple manner without sounding boring. No influencer style content bakwaas. Kudos to Wion

"If you want to be healthy - EAT a BALANCED DIET! Remember, FOOD is NOT YOUR ENEMY, self-doubt and false advertising are." - Palki Sharma Thank you! You are amazing!

"I am not a doctor, but here I am, logical" - Gravitas Journalist

I like this woman -- she projects in such a way that makes you think she's directly talking to you.

i've been saying this for years and now finally there's a report on it! Sugar and refined oil are the major culprits in the obesity rise.

You were meant to school me as you were. I'm forever grateful for honest people such as you. Hopefully I'll live longer, healthier and learn much more from you. Thank you very much and I love your teaching style as Immediately grabs my attention.

At last! someone has the guts and the nerve to call out the “health food” industry and shed a bright light of truth on their junk science claims. I admire you for doing it- keep doing it.

I like the way how she wears traditional indian dress and and dosnt shy away from promoting indias culture

I love this woman, they way she explains everything is so real and she makes me smile through out the video 💕

Agreed on everything except few here: 1.protein powder: great alternative if you’re trying to lose weight as it will help you be in calorie deficient. Not everyone esp here in West have time to make each snack or breakfast. 2. Dairy free milk: great for calorie deficient too. 1 cup of skim milk has 100 calories and 1 cup of almond has only 40. 3. Mix greens with smoothie: almost 60% of Americans aren’t eating enough vegetables, if mixing spinach to your smoothie is gonna up your veggie intake and fiber. Why not? Also, Whole wheat bread and brown rice is better as it breaks down differently than white all purpose flour and rice. But no, brown sugar is not healthier option. Not everyone needs this, but it’s a great trick to make weight loss realistic and easier.

Palki is best reporter on WION. No disrespect to the others. But it seems she just put more into her journalism.

My grandmother never eat those foods but she was lived 99 full of years

1:56 Queen of Sarcasm 🙌

My 55 year old co-worker decided to be healthy for a year to save for health insurance, she went to extreme diet. Green tea, steamed vegetables,and variety of grapefruits and water every day for a year thinking that she will be the healthiest person at our work place. She went to her physician after a year and got a reality check , she was soo mad at the physician . Told her that she has her metabolism not good everything is in reverse due to lack of vital nutrients that is vital for her body. Her health insurance went up instead and no one to blame but herself, she finally went back to her regular way of eating and made better choices than relying on superfoods.

This show actually talk about correct issue....in every household in India our mothers tell us to eat homemade food

this lady should be given Z+ security.....Big people could be after her.😢

Great to see someone conveying this to the public 🙏 Thank you for sharing 🙏

I agree with all her points except the protein powder one. That 56g of protein need is valid for a sedentary to low active lifestyle for an average built male. But if you are working out regularly like 4-5 days a week or an athelete/play outdoor you need more. That's when supplements become a need else you would have to keep eating so much food throughout the day. Also if we notice our average Indian diet, its mostly carb-rich. We surely lack protein unless we consciously add natural sources.

This woman will be responsible for WION success... it's not just the journalism but the content matters too...i applause WION for that...

What can be better than this? A girl sitting in the news room of international news channel spreading indian culture. You are amazing mam. I love your dress so much. It's indian culture.

I love this Lady..! Seriously..!

Being an indian , homemade food has always been the best . I have never considered food and snacks bought to be better because when you make it at home ,u know whats in it.

Can we borrow this woman for a few days in Greece? 👌👌🙏🙏 to talk about anything really, she is just great 🥰

This is called journalism on Health in Public intrest what generally news media channells should do. Really hats off to u. Getting adds to a channell like u is easy, but u choose to educate public. Very Noble thought.

This content should be subtitled in regional languages ,made into ppts and taught to everyone. Honest and brave content.

Good thing that these alternative milks are making the market, more cows saved, better for the environment. But I agree with all the other points you have made here!

She has a commanding voice and tone which accentuates the points she makes. Compelling presenting skills. Her delivery is superb. Formidable women

A recent study shows that WION is good for the whole world's health

Wonderful woman. Be blessed for helping us with truth.

Absolutely fantastic talk… There’s truth in every word you said & I have always believed this. What is harming the gluten tolerant population is not the gluten in wheat but any food that is genetically modified (GMO). As proclaimed by the nutritionist, our body doesn’t need 0.75 to 1.00 gm/ kg body weight. Except for those with some health conditions, no one else needs to count the protein in their food. What’s important is to not go excess with carbs & fats, have good amount of veggies, fruits & pulses in your daily meal. As far as milk is concerned, cows in earlier times were not injected with hormones (oestrogen) to give extra milk & so the milk didn’t cause any harm to humans who consumed it. But if you ask your grandparents, their consumption of milk & milk products was to the bare minimum. Whereas nowadays our daily consumption of milk in its plain form, tea, coffee, curd, buttermilk, ghee, cheese, paneer is way more than our ancestors weekly consumption & this is what is harming us & causing a havoc in our system thus leading to hormonal imbalance. So yes, anybody suffering from PCOD, endometriosis, painful periods, etc will surely benefit from stopping the milk products in all its forms (in short turning vegan), you don’t need to buy the almond, soy or oat milk. They do cost a fortune rather one needs to change the eating habits & reduce the dairy consumption if it’s difficult to stop altogether. There’s nothing wrong in trying oats, chia seeds, kale, broccoli, quinoa, parsely, celery, lettuce at times to understand the taste of different items used worldwide but definitely it doesn’t mean they are anyway more healthier than what your ancestors ate

Don't know about healthy but when I grow up I want to be Palki. Am a proud member of Palki International Fan Club.

Palki:"I'm not a doctor but here's what I am LOGICAL" Me:oh this is about to get Interesting

I love her presentation, clear and outright straight.

It's all due to decades of marketing. I'm a nurse turned marketer and I finally see how things work and why people think eating certain things is okay. I hate the message of moderation because these junk foods love that phrase. They love to tack on "part of a healthy diet" so they do not have to take on the responsibility for harmful health consequences that people experience in their life

'thin, sorry Healthy " The best sarcasm of the day. Hatsoff to this lady.

Palki is a good Mother. Always telling us the truth.

100% correct. People need to wake up.🤔

Being homoeopathic doctor ,along with my medicines similar things i also advise to my patients in my clinic and .The patient who really follow my advices they are so happy ,healthy and confident.

Palki: Green tea cannot make you lose weight, trust me i have tried it. 😂😂😂😂 i just died, you killed me hahahaha

I'm not a doctor but here's what I am. "Logical" (Mic drop)

She brings up some good points however…..”home cooked” meals can be just as unhealthy fast food. I know people who don’t cook anything other than bacon cheeseburgers and cheesy tater-tot casserole. I switched to almond milk not because it’s healthier but because it lasts for weeks rather than days which saves me money. No adult really needs cows milk anyway. As a 57 yr old person my goal is to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. We can’t afford to be sick in the US. High blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancer can all be minimized by a better diet and exercise which also minimizes my health care costs.

Palki Sharma Upadhyay..... you're just SUPERB Keep going 👍

I am Nutritionist with an experience of 35+ years and I cannot agree more with this report and would like to add that if we tell people to choose logically, locally and seasonally, they think we do not know what we are saying and are less knowledgeable compared to our counterparts who would suggest these products and with false hopes. Really appreciate the report. Keep up the logic.

NONE if these products were available during my grandpa's time, but he is still healthy as a horse, and me even though i'm just 20 i have sight issues.

"what most of us need is a reality check!" The best statement of the century. Haha

You and your team doing amazing work, finally some real news n updates without tv channel drama n masala. Stay blessed and thanks for putting facts straightforward in such a nice way.

Whenever Palki comes on screen, I blush and giggle like a 4 yr old girl.

Wion can we get a part two on this? I think a lot should be covered in this topic.. how many of you guys agree?

I have shared this video with many of my friends who r doing gym and talking those suppliments.. i believe they will stop taking that Aster waching this helpful video... Ur great mam... Huge respect and love..... Keep it up. Just one request mam don't ever change urself like others did..

You are absolutely amazing, ‘I mean LOGICAL’🤓. I love listening to you and the awareness you are bringing to the forefront. Keep it going PLEASE.

This woman deserve every inch of applause man she is sharper & harder than diamond

A refreshing change from the boot-licking journalism mongering sex scandals and crime news.. This kind of news items helps us do something towards bettering ourselves.. Hats off to the beauty with brains, Palki! 👏👏👏

cow milk actually can cause excess mucus in many people who are not lactose intolerant, which is long known knowledge in Ayurveda, also by what means white rice is ok when you say balanced diet, and it has been stripped of all nutrients, our ancestors used to eat actual parboiled and hulled brown rice (not the fancy marketed stuff today) which had enough fiber and nutrients and unlike us they did not have machine for most of their daily work...

The unintentional racist joke had me dying 🤣 😂 💀

This lady has Another level Fanbase not because of her looks but for her logic❤️🤗

I love this girl she's brilliant and extremely knowledgeable

You are sooooo fun! Love to see your videos. So clear! Straight talk. I love it.

I love this woman tooo much such an inspiration ❤💗

"I am not a doctor , but I am logical"...

After 90's Door darshan, no crap, no repetition, no shouting, no fancy presentations, no fish market debates, no 100's of reporters yet top notch quality content.... keep it up

missing a single episode of gravitas plus presented by you seems to be a great loss for me. I rated this programme number 01, every episode is a unique one. no doubt its a quality news presenter. your presentation is marvelous and crystal clear to understand with reality and impartial at the sametime holding the our nation's interest and glory atop. hope this programme continues with you as the anchor. You deserve the best news presenter.

Palki, this came up on my algorithm today and because I appreciate WION's perspective so much I decided to listen to this. THANK YOU!

PALKI you are a star. She is the epitome of journalism. 🔥🔥

Excellent report, can’t agree more . One thing she said was marvellous: “ Just logic!!!”. Common sense is needed in every era !!!

LOGIC - SHE HAS IT IN ABUNDANCE! THIS IS ONE (BEAUTIFUL) COMMON SENSE PERSON! I'M VERY MUCH INTO HEALTH AND I HAVE NOT HEARD "ANYBODY" MAKE SO MUCH SENSE IN A LONG LONG TIME! THIS LADY IS 100 PERCENT CORRECT! EVERYTHING SHE SAYS HERE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! SHE NEEDS TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS AND HOW PEOPLE CAN BE SCAMMED BY MARKETING. MOST OF THE STUDIES DONE ON A PARTICULAR FOOD OR SUPPLEMENT ARE INDUSTRY FUNDED. LOVE THIS LADY!

Kelloggs' cornflakes have been around since about 1894. I was eating them in the 1950s.

Palki ! Amazing presenter and journalist! Award winning. From Gold Coast Australia 🇦🇺 hello and keep up the amazing work.

This is called Ethical Journalism.We want more such topics to discuss. Thank You.

Palki sharma....... really you are special!!

This women is Amazing!!! She deserves something much very great!!!

Finally, someone who eloquently articulates what I've been thinking and saying in my small circle of family and friends. Thank you, lady. You're blessed. 🙏🏼

You certainly are logical. Well said. Good Luck, Rick

Rightly said

I applaud her effort to inform consumers about false marketing claims but she falls short in many issues that science has backed up it’s claims with conclusive evidence on. It’s important to do your due diligence and with that said, she was absolutely correct about faux science that corporations use for marketing purposes. Find reputable nutrition science Drs., researchers and scientists. They’re out there but don’t have the visibility because they’re not heavily funded or tell people what they want to hear necessarily. Navigating and promoting good research and practices to is what I do when I can. Not for a profession. Best wishes to everyone in your journeys.

"Queen of Anchors"....Cool, Clear and Cute....BEST WISHES from NELLORE..ANDHRA PRADESH

This Woman is a "Lady"! Each and every fact that she brings is a contribution to our knowledge. Like watching this 9 minutes on food make me understand clearly about my food consumption... Thank you Mrs Palki & WION...

Thanks.....

Well said! Thanks for this precious information.

Palki, you had me at "I'm not a doctor but I'm logical"

They're only able to do this kind of journalism because they don't have any tie-ups That is now, FAIR journalism

Not only is this woman beautiful, she also speaks the truth. I could look & listen to her all day.

Thank very much for the wonderful message. I am starting today in my backyard to grow my own organic food. After this report, I am skeptical about organic products in the store.

"Remember that food is not your enemy, self doubt and advertising are. 👌👌👌

"I'm not a doctor, but here's what I am: BEAUTIFUL!" 😍🥰

Her witty comments are so spot on! I love listening to her presentations.

Awesome 👏... beautifully delivered!
