Why is McDonald's India adding ‘protein slice' to its burgers
The popular burger chain McDonald's Thursday launched a new Protein Plus range headlined by a plant-based 'protein slice' — a disc-shaped, orange slice that resembles cheddar cheese. Weighing 15 grams, McDonald's said each slice delivers 5 grams of protein, and can be added to any burger at an extra cost of Rs 25 per slice. The initiative was launched in Worli, Mumbai, by Maharashtra Minister of State for Food and Drugs Administration Yogesh Kadam. 'Initiatives like these align with the preamble of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, which aims to ensure the availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption,' said Kadam. Explaining the rationale behind the launch, Akshay Jatia, Executive Director, Westlife Foodworld, which operates 444 McDonald's outlets across West and South India, said that the innovation wasn't driven by a single data point but stemmed from a broader aim 'to make our food wholesome and nutritious and make McDonald's a part of our customers' everyday occasions.' He added, 'The first step in this journey was the introduction of the multi-millet bun last year, also developed in partnership with CFTRI. It was about bringing grains that people value into our menu. The protein slice is the next step, and is adding an important macronutrient, which is also central to the public discourse on health, to our burgers.' The nutritional upgrade varies depending on the burger. When paired with the new protein slice, the McSpicy Paneer delivers 25.29g of protein, the McChicken 20.66g, the McVeggie 15.24g, and the iconic McAloo Tikki clocks in at 13.5g. The slice is plant-based, made from soy, pea, and whey protein, and doesn't contain preservatives, artificial colours, onion, or garlic. Diners are free to add more than one slice, said McDonald's. Developed over nearly a year in collaboration with the Mysuru-based CSIR–Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), under the Ministry of Science & Technology, the slice is part of a larger push to address India's protein gap. 'Nearly 70 per cent of Indian adults are protein-deficient,' said Dr Sridevi Annapurna Singh, Director of CSIR-CFTRI, at the launch. 'Our children, too, are lacking in protein. If you compare them to their Western counterparts, you'll notice differences in height, and that comes down to the quality of protein.' Elaborating on the challenges of creating a protein-dense slice that mimics cheese, Singh said, 'Each protein behaves differently, so getting the right texture, taste, shelf life, and sliceability was a huge challenge. We also had to address protein's tendency to absorb water so ensuring the right moisture content was critical for palatability.' Although the slice on its own doesn't have a strong flavour, when paired with burgers, even something as simple as the McAloo Tikki, it blends in seamlessly, making the added protein nearly unnoticeable to taste.

‘ChatGPT saved my mom': Woman shares how AI solved 18-month medical mystery that doctors missed
A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) has reignited the debate on artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, showcasing how tools like ChatGPT can assist in identifying overlooked medical issues. Shreya, an X user, shared a personal story where OpenAI's AI chatbot played a critical role in diagnosing the potential cause behind her mother's mysterious illness—a diagnosis that had eluded numerous experienced doctors and medical systems. Her story illustrates both the power and limitations of AI in medicine while also highlighting gaps in conventional healthcare approaches. How AI helped a woman find hope after 18 months of failed care Shreya's mother suffered from a chronic, non-stop cough lasting over 18 months, despite consultations with top doctors and treatments across multiple disciplines, including homeopathy, ayurveda, and allopathy. Instead of improving, her condition worsened, leading to internal bleeding—a red flag that could have life-threatening consequences if not addressed promptly. Specialists issued grim warnings, suggesting that the condition could turn fatal within six months if left unresolved. This level of uncertainty and fear pushed Shreya to look beyond traditional methods, seeking solutions from emerging technologies like AI—a step that many patients are now beginning to explore when medical avenues seem exhausted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Swelling and internal bleeding in the brain, help this baby Donate For Health Donate Now Undo AI suggests a hidden side effect behind the chronic cough Out of options, Shreya turned to ChatGPT, OpenAI's conversational AI model, and described her mother's symptoms in detail. Unlike general web searches, ChatGPT provided contextual reasoning and produced a list of potential causes for the chronic cough. Among these, one insight stood out: a possible side effect of blood pressure (BP) medication. To validate the suspicion, ChatGPT asked a specific question: 'Is she on BP medication with this ingredient?' Upon confirming that her mother's prescription indeed included the mentioned drug, the AI suggested it could be the root cause of the cough and associated complications. Armed with this AI-derived insight, Shreya consulted her mother's doctor again. This time, with a pointed query regarding the BP medication, the healthcare team reviewed her treatment. The doctors confirmed that a known side effect of the prescribed medication was indeed a persistent cough and associated bleeding risk. The medication was immediately replaced, and in the weeks that followed, her mother's condition showed remarkable improvement. Shreya shared on X: 'Now she's finally healing. Not exaggerating, but ChatGPT saved her life.' She expressed gratitude to OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman for creating what she called a 'great thing.' Social media users applaud ChatGPT, question traditional diagnostics The post quickly went viral, attracting thousands of likes, shares, and comments. Many users praised the potential of AI in healthcare, noting how ChatGPT's diagnostic suggestion achieved what multiple medical consultations failed to deliver. However, the story also sparked debate about failures within the healthcare system. One user commented: 'I'm really glad your mom is feeling better. But honestly, this also shows a big problem in medical care. Doctors should've checked if the cough was from her BP medicine, it's a known side effect. What's shocking isn't that ChatGPT figured it out, but that so many doctors missed something that should've been basic.' Other comments highlighted how AI offers unbiased, quick information, with one saying: 'ChatGPT is indeed the first-aid sort of help. It does tell you the real possibilities, unlike Google.'
