It took 3 years, but finally, Masala Body, the sequel to Masala Lab, is now available for pre-order. It continues from where the previous book left off - following a mouthful of biryani down the digestive system.

@sandylogy@grumpeoldman@bala_devarajan First principles thinking - there are northern latitudes where “room temperature water” can be freezing for many months and humans have done just fine 🤓
@grumpeoldman@bala_devarajan The physics is quite simple - 1 calorie per g per 1 C temperature rise (specific heat capacity). If you a drink a liter of water at 10C, you will burn….27 kcal 😅
Um No. For starters, the 6000 year timeline is unsupported by factual history. And, pumpkins originated in the Americas and reached West Asia not earlier than 500 years ago 😅
Also - 2 large dates will get you less than 2 mg of iron. A typical multivitamin will get you 18 mg.
Look, dates + pumpkin seeds are a great snack! Good amount of fiber and the seeds are rich in magnesium, but there is no need to concoct a 6 millennia story with bad science as a tadka to sell it
