Protein is having a bit of an identity crisis online.

One day, we’re told to eat more.
The next, we’re told eating less may help us live longer.

But the science is more nuanced than the headline.

Much of the longevity evidence comes from animal and laboratory models. In humans, some short-term studies have shown changes in insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism and related biological pathways, but we still do not know whether eating less protein helps humans live longer.

So the takeaway isn’t “more protein” or “less protein.”

It is: How much protein does this person actually need?

Age, activity, muscle health, illness, recovery and stage of life all matter.

Don’t turn interesting science into a universal diet rule.

Question the headline. Understand the evidence. Personalise the advice.

Qualifications matter. Evidence matters. Your health matters.

AI can do a lot. But dietetics is more than giving nutrition advice.

Clinical judgement. Professional accountability. Human connection.

The future isn’t AI versus dietitians. It’s dietitians using AI to deliver better care.

This Independence season, let’s claim another kind of freedom — freedom from nutrition quackery. 🇮🇳

Freedom from short-term nutrition courses open even to non-science candidates.
Freedom from healthcare institutions hiring unqualified individuals for nutrition roles.
And freedom from even qualified dietitians dishing out non-scientific advice just to gain followers.

Because nutrition is science. Your health deserves more than a certificate, a social-media following, or an Instagram bio.

Proper academic education + supervised practical training + evidence-based practice are essential to mould a competent dietitian you can trust with your health.

This Independence Day, Pause. Ask. Verify.

If you believe qualifications matter, like & share this post and help us raise the bar for nutrition practice. 🇮🇳

Parental anxiety should never be exploited.

A child’s height cannot be “tracked” with random tests, supplements and fear-based advice.

Tests such as alkaline phosphatase are not routine height trackers unless there is a clear clinical indication.

Likewise, recommending vitamin D or protein supplements without a proper assessment of the child’s growth pattern, dietary intake, nutritional requirements and clinical need is not evidence-based care.

Good paediatric care begins with proper assessment, not unnecessary investigations or blanket supplementation.

As Team , we support for speaking up against misinformation.

Qualifications matter.
Evidence matters.
Your child’s health matters.

Evidence Over Influence

Team welcomes this important and timely initiative by FSSAI to promote responsible food and health communication. 👏

In an era where influencers and celebrities can significantly shape food choices, influence must come with responsibility.

We strongly support communication that is:
🔹 Evidence-based
🔹 Transparent
🔹 Responsible
🔹 Consumer-centric

Promote responsibly. Disclose transparently. Speak from evidence. Put consumer health first.

Together, let’s build a culture of TRUST, TRANSPARENCY & TRUTH.

This Independence season, let’s claim another kind of freedom:

Freedom from nutrition fear.
Freedom from miracle promises.
Freedom from algorithms deciding what is “healthy.”

Popularity is not a qualification. Engagement is not evidence. A transformation story is not a clinical study.

Pause. Verify. Choose qualified guidance.

Comment SCIENCE if you believe nutrition advice should be based on evidence, not follower counts.

What marketing won't tell you.....👇

Turning millets into fine flour, instant noodles, chips, cookies, or biscuits can reduce many of the advantages that whole millets offer. The more finely a grain is processed, the faster it is often digested, leading to a higher glycemic response.

And don't assume every product labelled "millet" is healthy. Many millet biscuits still contain refined flour (maida), palm oil, and added sugar.

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate freedom not only as a nation, but also in the way we think about health and nutrition.

CANQC introduces the Freedom Series, an awareness initiative created to help people break free from nutrition myths, misleading claims, unqualified advice, and fear-based food rules.

Because informed choices begin with the freedom to question, understand, and follow evidence, not trends.

This 15th August, let’s choose:

Freedom from misinformation.
Freedom from nutrition quackery.
Freedom to make evidence-based health decisions.

Stay tuned as we separate facts from fiction, one topic at a time.

Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳

Many “health drinks” & “protein” snacks are sold as strength boosters, but carry a substantial sugar load too. 🍬💪

Before you sip or snack, check the label:

🔹 FSSAI “High Protein” claim

Solids: ≥ 20% of RDA per 100 g

Liquids: ≥ 10% of RDA per 100 ml / 100 kcal

🔹 Sugar limits that matter

“Low Sugar”: ≤ 5 g per 100 g (solids) / ≤ 2.5 g per 100 ml (liquids)

“Sugar-Free”: ≤ 0.5 g per 100 g or ml

A product can be “high protein” and still be high in sugar. Don’t let the front-pack claim fool you—flip to the nutrition panel and ingredients list.

📌 What to do:
1️⃣ Look at total sugars and added sugars
2️⃣ Check where sugar appears in the ingredients (earlier = more)
3️⃣ Compare brands—same “protein” claim, very different sugar profiles

High protein ≠ automatically healthy. Choose smart, not just strong. 🧠
