This is why I write about science and health misinformation—because there's no end to grifters taking advantage of people (who are often rightfully frustrated with our for-profit healthcare system), and those people believe them.

And too often the victims are children.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Dear friends, my sincere request is that you do not follow health advice, especially from those who are not science-based healthcare providers or clinical medicine practitioners.

Sean here, is an entrepreneur in eCommerce, SaaS & B2B service categories. He has not seen the inside of a biology text book in school and has no clue about human anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and clinical levels of evidence.

Please do not consume herbal and dietary supplements in the belief that you will "age slower," or improve your "biological age," or "increase your VO2max," or "get your metabolic health comparable to your toddler," or "increase your sperm count to beat your stable horses," or "increase testosterone to make The Hulk look dumb." It is absurd.

Just be you. Nothing beats a balanced diet, daily physical activity (aerobics/weight training), avoiding alcohol and tobacco and embracing healthy work hours and adequate sleep. Do not forget to cater to your mental health in between all of this. It is also important.

Most of these posts, like Sean's here, are for engagement farming to promote a sales pitch. The supplements description section features a lot of brand names that he has endorsed for a possible commission. None of those supplements work. It is a fact. And many of those supplements can actually harm.
Please see (take your time) this exhaustive database from the US Government's National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements for clarity on which supplements work and in conditions they are recommended and which supplements dont.

Herbal and dietary supplements are now now the biggest cause for increasing liver transplants in the USA, (no) thanks to sales pitchers like Sean and other tech bros who do it for the business of healthcare.
https://t.co/D4r8kqYhSf

And that is not all. Herbal and dietary supplements related liver injury is far more severe and serious than standard prescription drugs related liver injury. Meaning, the chances of dying or receiving a liver transplant is higher with supplements-related liver failure.
https://t.co/2pKSrlF0NS

Tech bros and other medically-illiterates use "science-sounding" jargons to confuse people into thinking they are "credible."
For example, Sean mentions that albumin level is a "function of the liver" - it is not. Albumin provides an idea of the biosynthetic function of the liver and not the whole liver function. The liver performs more than 500 vital functions - metabolic, synthetic, secretory, excretory, immunity, digestive and many more.
https://t.co/Hb2M0HUKsG

Alkaline phosphatase is also not actually liver function as Sean mentions. Alkaline phosphatase is present in the placenta, ileal mucosa, kidney, bone, and liver - and not only in the liver.
https://t.co/TXWTrqUaq0

Creatinine is also not realistically kidney function related. Serum creatinine is widely interpreted as a measure only of renal function; however, the serum level reflects not only renal excretion, but also the generation, intake, and metabolism of creatinine which are dependent on many other factors other than kidneys.
https://t.co/VqMzOovVcL

Glucose as a the singular marker of metabolism is utter nonsense, as Sean mentions and many blood parameters mentioned are an exaggeration of the claims made, such as immune system function (immune system has innate and adaptive components and a simple blood count tests does not provide any clear data on it)
https://t.co/AqW75yrTfS

Sean's post is a masterclass on both misinformation and disinformation. Misinformation is false or inaccurate information—getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to mislead—intentionally misstating the facts.

Be wary of such handles and stay FAR away from them, for your own good.

Long-awaited Traverse Trial shows no difference in MACE between testosterone and placebo groups in 5246 men treated for mean 22 months. Reassuring, not surprising.

Indeed, the surprise is that CVD was ever raised as a concern! A thread.
