The gotcha / sneering style harms something I otherwise agree with.
For example, Ashwagandha is something I've been putting into daal curry for years; it has been a part of Indian cuisine forever. Not that you'd know by the style it is conveyed in; there must be a word for this style of dishonesty, where you purposely hide context to inflate the danger.
It's a shame because most supplements are clearly not necessary.
- kranner 4y agoI've lived in India almost all my life and I've never heard of Ashwagandha being part of any of the traditional culinary systems of India. Cooking with Ashwagandha seems to be a recent Internet trend exclusively. Traditionally, as Ayurvedic medicine, it would either be swallowed in powder form with milk or ghee, or brewed as a tea/kadha. I've grown up eating dal everyday, and we really don't put any Ashwagandha in it.
