Food scientist reveals two things they would never eat (one is vegetarian)
In an era where Instagram floods us with advice, distinguishing reliable guidance from fads has become increasingly challenging. Recently, a food scientist shared two foods they would never eat — ground meat and raw sprouts — sparking widespread debate online. Curious about the validity of these claims, we turned to an authority in the field, Dr Kiran Soni, Head of the Department of Nutrition & Health at Yatharth Hospital, Greater Noida, to find out if they hold up. A post shared by Hydroxide (@ Raw sprouts, often praised for their high nutrient content, also pose potential health risks. 'While sprouts are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fibre, they grow in warm, humid conditions ideal for bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli to thrive,' notes Dr Soni. This risk is especially concerning for vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Dr Soni suggests using cooked sprouts to neutralise harmful bacteria while retaining much of their nutritional value. 'It's a simple step that ensures safety without compromising health benefits,' she adds. She recommends other nutrient-dense options like leafy greens, seeds, and legumes for those who wish to avoid sprouts altogether. A post shared by Hydroxide (@ Ground meat is a staple in many kitchens, serving as the foundation for dishes such as burgers, meatballs, and tacos. However, according to Dr Soni, it comes with significant safety concerns. 'The grinding process increases the surface area of the meat, allowing harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella to infiltrate more easily,' she explains. If ground meat isn't cooked to the proper temperature, these pathogens can survive and cause serious foodborne illnesses. Dr Soni advises that ground meat should always be cooked thoroughly, reaching an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F). She also underscores the importance of proper handling: 'Store ground meat at the correct temperature, avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen, and consume it promptly to minimise risks.' While these foods carry risks, Dr Soni emphasises that proper handling and preparation can mitigate most concerns. 'It's not about outright banning foods but about understanding how to consume them safely,' she says. Her advice aligns with broader food safety practices: Navigating food choices in a world flooded with information requires discernment. While ground meat and raw sprouts may pose risks, understanding how to handle and prepare them safely allows you to enjoy a varied and nutritious diet. As Dr Soni aptly says, 'It's all about informed choices for better health.'

Banter turns bloody as history-sheeter kills ‘friend'
Vadodara: A bit of banter turned deadly for a 28-year-old man who was stabbed to death by a 'friend' in the Raopura area of the city early on Monday morning. According to investigators, the victim, Yash Thakur , who worked at a roadside eatery, had been hanging out with his friends Bhim Bahadur Soni and Mehul Mali. Thakur had met Soni and Mali near a mall in the Tarsali area. The trio got onto a two-wheeler and went to have tea. After a while, they decided to visit the tea stall run by Soni's brother near SSG Hospital. While riding to the old city, there was an argument between Soni and Thakur over some jokes. Thakur got off the two-wheeler and decided to return home on his own. He even phoned another friend to pick him up. Soni and Mali went back to him and insisted that he travel with them, saying they would drop him home. "Thakur agreed and got back onto the two-wheeler. The argument with Soni soon flared up again and Thakur abused him. An enraged Soni stopped the two-wheeler near the govt press next to Kothi Crossroads, drew a knife and stabbed Thakur in the chest," said H A Rathod, ACP (crime). Thakur fell at the spot, after which Soni and Mali fled, at about 3am. Passersby saw Thakur in a pool of blood and called police.

Bankar beti, rishto ko bachaana hoga, sabhi naato ko nibhana hoga. Kya rakkha hai is jang mein koi bataayega, aakhir is dharti se kaun kya hi le jaayega." The Case The complainant, Soni's mother, claimed that her son broke open the lock and took over the flat while she was away attending court. According to her, he shouted abuses from inside the flat when she returned with her daughter. Delhi Police informed the court that a previous order had granted possession of the flat to the complainant. They also said there had been several police complaints and calls against Soni, including preventive legal action in the past. Live Events Soni's lawyer argued that the case was not one of illegal possession. He claimed that his client had been given the property willingly under a verbal agreement. He also showed family photos taken in the flat, suggesting they were already living there before 10 July. He questioned why no legal steps like eviction or contempt were taken if the possession was truly illegal. The prosecution disagreed, saying Soni had planned in advance to take over the flat unlawfully. They argued that even if the mother wasn't living there, she still legally possessed the property. The investigating officer said no CCTV footage or video evidence had been found to prove whether Soni broke in. After reviewing the facts, the court said it was inclined to grant bail to Nitin Soni.

Doc who shot at nurse leaving her paralysed, sentenced for life
Bhopal/Jabalpur: A doctor who shot a nurse, leaving her paralysed in the limbs after she declined his marriage proposal in Jabalpur, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a sessions court in Jabalpur. According to the prosecution, the accused, Dr Sandeep Soni, worked in a private hospital in Katni town, while Madhuri Chaudhary also worked in the same hospital as a nurse. The two were friends, and when Madhuri's father fell ill, the doctor helped her financially. Later, he proposed to her, which she refused. She left her job at Katni, moved to Jabalpur, and began working there. Dr Soni also moved to Jabalpur and joined a hospital. He continued to pressure Madhuri to call him, and when she refused, he threatened her. On February 7, 2024, when Madhuri was returning home from duty, Dr Soni shot two bullets at her with a country-made pistol, intending to kill her. The court was informed that one of the two bullets hit the nurse in her abdomen, which was surgically removed, but the second got stuck in her spinal cord and couldn't be removed, leaving the lower half of Madhuri's body unresponsive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Think Ivy League?
