What did Varun Dhawan say about black coffee?
During an interview on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast, Varun talked about the health concerns associated with consuming black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning. He said that starting the day with black coffee affects his gut health, adding that switching to blonde roast coffee was good for him. He said it is easy on the stomach. When the host mentioned that he consumes black coffee on an empty stomach, she asked him not to do so.
“If you wake up in the morning and start with only black coffee, even if you don’t have stomach problems, you will start consuming it,” Varun said.
Varun was criticized
These comments of Varun did not go down well, health expert Prashant Desai came forward to teach him.
He wrote on Instagram, “Come on Varun, really? This is not true. I have been drinking black coffee on an empty stomach after waking up for the last 15 years. No issue at all. The truth is that everyone’s gut is as different as your fingerprints. But to say that everyone will have stomach problems and acidity is not true. Varun Dhawan might have got acidity and this is what will happen. Food is personal. What doesn’t work for someone doesn’t become a universal truth!”
Varun took note of the criticism note and replied to them asking for suggestions.
Reposting his story on Instagram Stories, Varun wrote, “It’s totally true that it didn’t work for me, I’m glad it didn’t affect you and you’re healthy and super fit.” I did say it is not one size fits all, if you would listen further I would love for you to use me as an example to educate people sir, but please also give some suggestions , then it’s always a pleasure to learn from an expert.
