Breakfast with Ryan Huang, Emaad Akhtar and Audrey Siek

You can't make this stuff up! South Korean authorities have come out to discourage  frying and eating cornstarch or sweet potato starch toothpicks, as influencers take to social media with this trend. They may be made of starch, but those have not been verified as safe to eat! On top of that, "rat snacking" is the latest food trend to hit Tiktok - the idea of digging through your cupboards, fridges and pantries to create a snack. Audrey, Ryan and Emaad share their #ratsnacks of choice!

Having your plans derailed while travelling is the last thing anyone would hope for.  From recent flight incidents of late that involved a runway collision and a door plug blowout, to hundreds getting stuck in snow storms that led to delayed or cancelled flights - worries before a trip are often valid, and many would opt for travel insurance.  On Morning Shot today, we’ll be speaking with Constance Teo, Manager for Product Development at Income Insurance to find out what rights travellers have, and what they can reasonably expect when thrown a curveball.  Presented by: Audrey Siek Produced and edited by: Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg) Photo/graphics credits: pixabay & its talented community of contributors

Have you spent your childhood and the majority of your adult life so far believing food myths that might've been told to you without actually verifying whether they are true? If the answer is yes, you aren't alone. Too many of us welcome new information to the brain that has probably been passed down through many generations over many decades without questioning its origins. It's easier to believe when its correlated with better health - think "an apple a day keeps the doctor at bay" or "carrots can improve your eyesight." Emaad, Ryan and Audrey investigate these and other food myths on today's Breakfast Bites.
