With this video, I’m launching a national health movement against false marketing in packaged food!

This time I’m not alone. Many influencers, celebrities, doctors and sports stars have UNITED to fight against false marketing!

Every week we hear of a new food issue affecting the country! Infant milk sugar, children’s health drinks, Indian chips having palm oil and the masala-cancer issue are just a few of them.

If the majority of Indians started reading labels, companies would be forced to stop false marketing and give us better quality food!

I invite the entire country to pledge to start reading labels now.

Let us all unite to make India the health capital of the world instead of the diabetes capital of the world!

Label Padhega India, tabhi toh swasth banega India!

Let’s break the internet.

In the early 20th century, infant mortality was high in Canada and malnutrition was a leading cause for infant deaths.

To deal with this problem, the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto began working on a new product...Pablum.

This is its story.

In 1918, the Nutritional Research Laboratories at the hospital opened under Dr. Alan Brown. He recruited Dr. Fred Tisdall and Dr. Theodore Drake to his nutritional research team.

Through the 1920s, breastfeeding had declined among the upper and middle class. Some mothers made a porridge-like meal for their babies, which unfortunately caused digestive problems.

In 1930, with Dr. Tisdall serving as director, the NRL created a biscuit for children. It was introduced to the public as McCormick's Sunwheat Biscuits. The biscuits were manufactured by the McCormick Manufacturing Company.

The biscuits were good for children but not for infants. Dr. Tisdall and Dr. Drake began working to develop a cereal that had minerals, protein and vitamins. Their goal was to retain whole grains without causing digestive problems.

Using dehydrated milk, the mixture was cooked in huge pressurized steam kettles, dried on a rotating drum and then scraped off. This created a cereal that was dry and flaky with the desired nutrients.

Mothers could mix the cereal, which could be kept indefinitely, with milk or water.
The name Pablum came from pabulum, which is Latin for food, or foodstuffs.

Others involved in the development of Pablum included Pearl Summerfeldt, Alan Brown, Ruth Herbert and Harry H. Engel. The patent was under Dr. Tisdall's name.

Due to the high amount of Vitamin D in Pablum, the food helped prevent rickets in children.

The Hospital for Sick Children was given a royalty for every container of Pablum sold. By 1978, Pablum had earned the hospital $7 million in royalties.

In 1951, four new formulas of Pablum were made available to fight the claims the food was bland.

Following creating Pablum, Dr. Tisdall was involved in experiments on Indigenous children in the 1940s. These experiments malnourished Indigenous children who were already starving, to study the nutritional implications of fortified foods.
Dental care was also not provided to the children because researchers wanted to observe the state of dental caries and gingivitis with malnutrition. Dr. Tisdall died in 1949.

Dr. Drake went on to design nutritional diets for the RCAF during the Second World War. He died in 1959.

The Pablum brand was sold to Mead Johnson in 1995. By the early 21st-century, Pablum had ceased to be used commercially.

Au début du XXe siècle, la mortalité infantile était élevée au Canada et la malnutrition était l'une des principales causes de mortalité infantile.

Pour résoudre ce problème, l'Hospital for Sick Children de Toronto a commencé à travailler sur un nouveau produit... Pablum.

C'est son histoire.

En 1918, les laboratoires de recherche nutritionnelle de l'hôpital ont ouvert leurs portes sous la direction du Dr Alan Brown. Il a recruté le Dr Fred Tisdall et le Dr Theodore Drake dans son équipe de recherche nutritionnelle.

Au cours des années 1920, l’allaitement maternel a décliné parmi les classes supérieures et moyennes. Certaines mères préparaient un repas semblable à du porridge pour leur bébé, ce qui causait malheureusement des problèmes digestifs.

En 1930, alors que le Dr Tisdall était directeur de la LNR, il créa un biscuit pour les enfants. Il a été présenté au public sous le nom de McCormick's Sunwheat Biscuits. Les biscuits ont été fabriqués par la McCormick Manufacturing Company.

Les biscuits étaient bons pour les enfants mais pas pour les nourrissons. Le Dr Tisdall et le Dr Drake ont commencé à travailler au développement d'une céréale contenant des minéraux, des protéines et des vitamines. Leur objectif était de conserver les grains entiers sans causer de problèmes digestifs.

À l’aide de lait déshydraté, le mélange était cuit dans d’immenses bouilloires à vapeur sous pression, séché sur un tambour rotatif puis gratté. Cela a créé une céréale sèche et feuilletée avec les nutriments souhaités.

Les mères pouvaient mélanger les céréales, qui pouvaient être conservées indéfiniment, avec du lait ou de l'eau.
Le nom Pablum vient de pabulum, qui signifie en latin nourriture ou produits alimentaires.

Parmi les autres personnes impliquées dans le développement de Pablum figuraient Pearl Summerfeldt, Alan Brown, Ruth Herbert et Harry H. Engel. Le brevet était au nom du Dr Tisdall.

En raison de la quantité élevée de vitamine D contenue dans Pablum, cet aliment a contribué à prévenir le rachitisme chez les enfants.

L'Hospital for Sick Children a reçu une redevance pour chaque contenant de Pablum vendu. En 1978, Pablum avait rapporté à l'hôpital 7 millions de dollars de redevances.

En 1951, quatre nouvelles formules de Pablum ont été mises à disposition pour lutter contre les allégations selon lesquelles la nourriture était fade.

Après avoir créé Pablum, le Dr Tisdall a participé à des expériences sur des enfants autochtones dans les années 1940. Ces expériences ont porté sur des enfants autochtones mal nourris qui mouraient déjà de faim, afin d'étudier les implications nutritionnelles des aliments enrichis.
Les soins dentaires n'ont pas non plus été prodigués aux enfants car les chercheurs voulaient observer l'état des caries dentaires et des gingivites en cas de malnutrition. Le Dr Tisdall est décédé en 1949.

Le Dr Drake a ensuite conçu des régimes alimentaires pour l’ARC pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est décédé en 1959.

La marque Pablum a été vendue à Mead Johnson en 1995. Au début du XIXe siècle, Pablum avait cessé d'être utilisée commercialement.

On the 27th straight day of filming “Forrest Gump,” Tom Hanks was tired & worried.

During a scene on the famous park bench, Hanks stopped & said to director Bob Zemeckis,

“Hey, Bob…is anybody going to care about this movie? I don’t think anybody’s going to care.”

Bob replied,

“It’s a minefield, Tom. You never know what’s good…It’s a minefield! It’s a goddam minefield! We may be sowing the seeds of our own destruction.”

Tom Hanks told this story after he was asked, “When I ask for a memory from your career, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?”

He said that what Zemeckis said was true of every movie he’s worked on:

“There’s never any guarantee...You do not know if it is going to work out.”

Takeaway 1:

Hanks is the 5th-most highest-grossing actor of all time.

And yet, the stickiest memory of his career is the feeling of uncertainty.

Rarer than talent or work ethic, the poet John Keats wrote, is the ability to step into and push through doubts and uncertainties.

In 1817, Keats wrote a letter to his brothers to share this exciting realization.

“At once it struck me,” Keats wrote, “what quality went to form a Man of Achievement … Negative Capability.”

Keats explains that “Negative Capability” is “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”

Takeaway 2:

Those who possess Negative Capability, who can sit with uncertainty, who can spend months or years in the minefield that is working on something while knowing that there is a real possibility no one will care about it—they often possess another quality.

They do what they do, not as a means to some end (money, fame, awards, etc.), but for the sake of doing it.

When asked about one of his movies that commercially failed, Hanks said,

"I loved making that movie. I loved writing it, I loved being with it. I love all the people in it."

As Ryan Holiday once told me, "The work has to be the win."

You control the effort, he says, not the results.

"So ultimately, you have to love doing it. You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.”

Many people procrastinate because they're waiting for their motivation to rise.

They forget that getting started is what leads their motivation to rise.

Passion is not a prerequisite for progress. It's often the result of progress.
