Harvard gastroenterologist lists 8 everyday toxins you should ditch now
You may be eating clean and working out regularly, but if your kitchen is still holding on to certain everyday items, your health might be at risk without you even realising it. Dr Saurabh Sethi, a Harvard and Stanford-trained gastroenterologist and hepatologist, recently took to Instagram to share a list of eight common toxins we often ignore in our homes, especially in our kitchens. These culprits, according to Dr Sethi, can quietly disrupt gut health, hormones, metabolism, and even increase your risk of disease over time. Scratched Nonstick Cookware (Teflon/PTFE) If your nonstick pans are chipped or peeling, it's time to say goodbye. Dr Sethi warns that damaged Teflon can release toxic fumes and microplastics, especially when exposed to high heat. Swap for: Ceramic, stainless steel, or cast iron cookware. Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame, Sucralose) Often marketed as 'diet-friendly,' these sweeteners may harm your gut bacteria, blood sugar balance, and appetite signals. Long-term use has also been linked to glucose intolerance. Swap for: Pure monk fruit, stevia, or real fruits for natural sweetness. Plastic Water Bottles—Especially in Heat Even BPA-free plastics can leach hormone-disrupting chemicals when exposed to warm temperatures. Swap for: Stainless steel or glass bottles that are safer and reusable. Ultra-Processed Packaged Foods Think snacks loaded with additives, seed oils, emulsifiers, and preservatives. These disrupt gut health, affect metabolism, and trigger inflammation. Rule of thumb: If the label has more than five ingredients you can't pronounce—skip it. Swap for: Whole foods with recognisable, minimal ingredients. Scented Candles and Air Fresheners These may make your home smell great, but they often contain phthalates and VOCs, linked to hormone imbalances and inflammation. Swap for: Beeswax candles, essential oil diffusers, or simply good ventilation. Deli Meats with Preservatives Cold cuts may be convenient, but those with nitrites and nitrates are associated with increased gut inflammation and even higher colorectal cancer risk. Swap for: Freshly cooked meats without added preservatives. Antibacterial Soaps with Triclosan Dr Sethi notes that these soaps can harm your skin barrier and gut microbiome by killing both good and bad bacteria. Swap for: Plain soap and water—they're just as effective without the side effects. Fragrance-Heavy Laundry Detergents and Dryer Sheets These everyday products can contain phthalates and synthetic chemicals that cling to your clothes—and then to your skin—affecting hormone balance and irritating sensitive systems. Swap for: Fragrance-free detergents or wool dryer balls with a few drops of essential oil. So next time you're clearing out your kitchen or shopping for groceries and home supplies, think beyond calories, and start reading labels, checking materials, and making mindful swaps.

Karnataka Minister Flags Danger Of Artificial Colours After Notice To Empire Restaurant
Karnataka's Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has urged the public to remain vigilant about food safety and avoid being misled by visually appealing but potentially harmful dishes. Addressing the media on Monday, Rao highlighted the need for consumers to prioritise quality over appearance. This appeal comes especially in the wake of recent food safety concerns involving the use of banned synthetic colouring. The minister cited the recent testing of food samples from the Empire Group of Restaurants. Six items were deemed unsafe after testing since they were found to contain synthetic colouring. About The Food Safety Violations At Bengaluru's Empire Restaurant Empire, a famous restaurant chain in Bengaluru, made headlines when a lab report revealed that some of its food items were unsafe for human consumption. The results dated July 11 from the State Food Laboratory, Public Health Institute, pertained to chicken kebabs served at its Gandhinagar outlet. A food safety officer had collected two kilos of chicken kebab samples from the establishment on June 27. It was discovered that they did not meet the required food safety standards. After a notice was issued to the restaurant, Empire said that they stopped using food colouring in their kebabs. The restaurant later released a detailed public statement about the same. It clarified, "Recently, the FSSAI flagged the use of a synthetic colour (Sunset Yellow FCF) in our kebab marinade. While this colour is an FSSAI-licensed, commercially available product that has previously seen widespread use across the industry, we were served a notice and we fully complied. Its use has now been completely discontinued." The restaurant added, "We have now given our signature dishes a fresh, natural look-the same Empire taste and the same quality, with zero compromise." Read the complete statement below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hotel Empire (@hotelempire) Food Safety As A Public Responsibility During his media address, in which he referenced the above incident, Dinesh Gundu Rao also emphasised that ensuring food quality is a shared responsibility. He noted that better quality food and drugs can become the norm only if people insist on quality goods, as per PTI. "The government needs to do its part and tackle this legally, but people, too, should cultivate quality consciousness as culture," he said. As part of broader food safety initiatives, the minister said that the health department also held a virtual meeting with cooking oil manufacturers to enforce trans-fat limits. It was declared that oils exceeding the 2% trans-fat threshold would invite strong regulatory action.

NRI health insurance surges 150%: Why more choose treatment in India
More non-resident Indians (NRIs) are looking to India for health insurance and medical care, with a 150 per cent year-on-year surge in overall NRI health insurance adoption, according to PolicyBazaar. The growth has been sharp among women, rising by 125 per cent, while NRIs under 35 have seen a 148 per cent increase. 'There's been a huge shift in the way NRIs view India's healthcare system. It's not just about affordability, it's about trust in the infrastructure,' said PolicyBazaar in its latest report. Tier-3 cities see nearly half of NRI health insurance claims An interesting trend emerging from the data is that Tier-3 cities now account for 46 per cent of NRI health insurance claims. This, the report suggests, points to growing confidence in India's smaller cities where families often secure policies for elderly parents. The share of NRI claims across hospital categories is as follows: Tier 1 cities: 21 per cent Tier 2 cities: 33 per cent Tier 3 cities: 46 per cent South Indian cities dominate NRI hospital preferences across all tiers. Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru lead among Tier-1 cities, while Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kollam top the list for Tier-2. Thrissur, Kottayam, and Pathanamthitta feature prominently among Tier-3 locations. India's medical tourism advantage: 60-90 per cent savings One of India's key draws is the stark cost difference for surgeries and medical procedures when compared to the US and UK. For instance: • Heart bypass surgery costs $5,000 - $8,000 in India versus $70,000 - $150,000 in the US. • Knee replacement surgery is priced at $4,000 - $6,000 in India compared to $30,000 - $50,000 in the US. • A liver transplant in India costs $25,000 - $35,000, while the same procedure in the US can range from $300,000 to $500,000. • Kidney transplants are performed at $7,000 - $12,000 in India, whereas in the US, costs range between $200,000 and $300,000. The average NRI claim amount for elective procedures in India is between $2,000 and $15,000. More complex surgeries, however, can see claims in the range of $20,000 to $40,000—still far lower than international prices. Insurance premiums in India much lower than US, GCC Another strong incentive for NRIs is the affordability of health insurance premiums. In India, annual premiums range from $120 to $300 per person. By comparison, US health insurance premiums average $8,000 per person annually, while in GCC countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the figure is between $4,000 and $5,000. A comparison of average annual premiums shows: United States: $8,000+ United Kingdom: Free under NHS; private insurance ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 GCC countries: $4,000 - $5,000 India: $120 - $300 As more NRIs consider healthcare options in India, there's been a visible spike in online searches related to health insurance. PolicyBazaar noted: • Searches for 'Health insurance India for NRIs' grew by 60 per cent year-on-year. • Queries for 'Medical treatment for overseas citizens in India' rose by 45 per cent in the last 18 months. • 'Best health insurance plans for parents in India' is consistently among the top five NRI insurance searches from the UAE, UK, and US. No wait times, world-class hospitals and culturally familiar care India's private healthcare network is appealing to NRIs not just for the cost savings, but also for its efficiency. Hospitals like Apollo, AIIMS, and Tata Memorial are equipped with advanced technology and internationally trained doctors. Unlike Western healthcare systems, Indian private hospitals offer quicker consultations and surgeries, often without the long waiting periods. For many NRIs, being treated in India also means family support, English-speaking medical staff, and a sense of cultural familiarity. 'These softer factors make a huge difference during recovery,' said the report. Some health insurance policies now also include on-ground assistance for NRIs, especially those seeking treatment for elderly parents in India. Many hospitals provide complete packages that cover visas, travel arrangements, and post-operative care. Generic medicines cut long-term costs India's pharmaceutical industry, particularly its stronghold in generic medicines, offers another layer of cost advantage. For chronic conditions, the savings are substantial. Consider these comparisons: • Insulin costs $1-$5 per vial in India, compared to $100-$300 in the US. • Paracetamol (10 tablets) is priced at $0.50 in India, while in the US it's $5-$10. • Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) costs $2-$5 per month in India, versus $30-$50 in the US. • Blood pressure medicines are $2-$10 per month in India, whereas the US prices range between $50 and $200. • Cancer drugs like Imatinib are priced at $100-$500 per month in India, compared to over $10,000 in the US. Infectious and respiratory diseases top NRI hospitalisation claims When it comes to hospitalisation reasons, infectious diseases account for the largest share at 18 per cent, followed by respiratory ailments at 11 per cent. Cancer and heart-related conditions each comprise 9 per cent of total claims. Other common hospitalisation reasons include gastrointestinal diseases, injuries, musculoskeletal problems, and neurological disorders. Share of top hospitalisation reasons for NRIs: Infectious diseases: 18 per cent Respiratory diseases: 11 per cent Cancer: 9 per cent Heart conditions: 9 per cent Gastrointestinal diseases: 7 per cent Eye conditions: 6 per cent Injuries and fractures: 5 per cent Musculoskeletal conditions: 5 per cent Urological conditions: 3 per cent Neurological disorders: 3 per cent
