Turkey : TRT announcer’s question split social media in two!

TRT News announcer Sermin Baysal Ata asked the Internal Medicine Specialist Doctor Ayça Kaya on the live broadcast, “Would it be useful to use cast iron materials, pots and pans about iron deficiency?” The question divided social media in two.

Doctor Ayça Kaya answered “No” to the question and social media was divided on the subject.

On the one hand, there were those who said that the problem was ‘absurd’, and on the other hand, it was argued that there was the possibility of taking iron from dishes cooked in a pure iron pan.

DISCUSSION BETWEEN TRT WORLD EMPLOYEES AND SCIENTISTS

On the other hand, the question that caused interesting moments in TRT News also caused polemics between TRT World employee journalist Fatih Er and scientist Can Gürses.

Can Gürses, on the question: “I am going to have serum attached to the nearest emergency room. Those who gave the example of iron fish from Wikipedia never opened it and read it … It’s a pity. Fatih Er said, “If you have time, please read this.” It’s not a wiki. ”

Can Gürses replies to Er, “The Wiki is already referring to clinical studies, sir … I do not interfere with the issues that you have no idea,” while Er says to Gürses, “Read first. I have no idea. I do not say. Scientific research. It is Erdem to see the mistake ”.

EXPLANATION FROM TRT NEWS ANNOUNCER ATA

Upon discussions, TRT News Announcer Sermin Baysal Ata made a statement from his Twitter account.

Ata used the following expressions:

* The question about the “iron deficiency” that I addressed to my guest last night was the subject of discussion on social media.

* 1. This is an issue that scientists also discuss. Those who are curious can find many articles on this subject and look at the literature.

* 2. This is also a question that some of our viewers are asking us. As a moderator, there is nothing more natural than directing my audience’s questions to my guest.

* I leave the intentional and rude criticisms I have been exposed to, on the conscience of the public, because I have brought up an issue that scientists are discussing and some of our viewers are also curious about.
