I often say, ‘The longer the shelf life, the shorter our lifespan.’ It’s a harsh truth masked as a marketing gimmick that many of us fall for. Large corporations hire the brightest minds from IIMs and IITs to craft strategies that keep us in the dark about what’s genuinely healthy. Their aim isn’t to inform but to confuse, ensuring we remain dependent on their products. That’s why I’m on a mission to educate Indians about the importance of reading labels. Becoming label-literate is the quickest, most affordable, and most effective way to transform India into a healthier nation and shed its title as the diabetes capital of the world.

Today, we’re joined by Revant Himatsingka, known online as FoodPharmer—a food science expert who became a household name after taking on big brands and exposing food myths. Known for taking the biggest brands to court & winning, he’s on a mission to help people make smarter food choices and take control of their health.

“Are superfoods really essential or overhyped?”
