2. Avoid 'don't eat chemicals' videos:

Nowadays, you will find videos highlighting chemicals used in various packaged foods and speaking about why you must avoid them. However, the expert states that almost every food has chemicals, and taking preservatives in small amounts doesn't harm you much. The best practice is to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods.

4. Don't watch 'throw this away' type videos:

You will often find content telling you to eliminate some of the most common food ingredients and kitchen appliances. The expert suggests verifying the facts before following the videos.

5. Avoid 'don't eat this food' videos:

As mentioned earlier, you can eat anything and everything in moderation. Krish Ashok also mentions that there are various ways to make your meal healthy. So learn those hacks well before avoiding a meal completely.

6. Avoid 'Nutrient' related misinformation:

You will find various videos telling people to avoid different elements including carcinogens and toxins. Understand, dosage matters, states the expert. You need to know how much you are consuming to avoid any side effects.
