Yesterday, my account was hacked for a while and strangely, my most viral tweet was deleted. So here it is, updated for 2025 for science and health-illiterates.

To summarize:

1. One whole egg with yolk a day does not increase blood cholesterol

2. Green tea does not help you lose weight

3. Jaggery, honey or sugarcane are not healthier than white sugar

4. There is no "healthy alcohol"

5. Ashwagandha does not reduce stress or help you sleep

6. Shilajit is a resinous piece of rock that does not benefit male sexual health

7. Turmeric in milk does not get beneficially absorbed in body and is lost in stool

8. You can consume fruits anytime during day or night

9. Sugarless black coffee at least 3 cups is good for fatty liver disease

10. Apple cider vinegar is good for only trapping fruit flies

11. Eight glasses of water a day is a myth

12. Pure whey protein supplementation to target recommended higher protein intake is safe for liver and kidneys

13. Magnesium supplements don't help you sleep

14. Anti-ageing is a myth

15. Herbalife products are the most common cause of liver injuries globally in the context of herbal and dietary supplements induced liver damage

16. Just because you lost weight by whatever means does not make you a "health coach."

17. Consumption of dairy along with fruits is perfectly fine

18. Yoga does not help you lose weight

19. Multivitamin a day does not improve health or prevent diseases in general. It can however, increase the risk of multiple cancers

20. Biotin does not help in hair growth or increase length of hair

21. Here are some liver supplements that you are wasting time and money on - Milk thistle, TUDCA and S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe)

22. The liver detoxes you, you don't detox the liver

23. Do not insult the kidneys by drinking yours or others urine, thinking urine therapy is going to help you live longer

24. Your favourite celebrity is always wrong about healthcare. Do not take medical advice from a pretty looking heroine or macho looking hero.

25. Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo do not drink Herbalife shakes. They just pose with it, for money

26. BluePrint is Bryan Johnson's online supplements scam

27. Covid vaccines ended the pandemic

28. Ayurveda is a pseudoscience. So is Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani, Naturopathy, Reiki, and Acupuncture.

29. Homeopathy is mostly alcohol, sometimes sugar. Other times cockroach parts.

30. You personal experience is not scientific evidence.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

One of the finest architects in the modern world has been Frank Lloyd Wright. His creative period spanned seventy years, during which he designed more than 1,000 buildings. Amongst them are many world-renowned monuments, like the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Hollyhock House in Los Angeles.
If a journalist would ever ask him, ‘Which of the numerous buildings you designed do you like the best?’ he would always respond, ‘My next one.’
Frank Lloyd Wright’s answer revealed his growth mindset. Every time he designed a new building, his goal was to excel his previous best. He could easily have become complacent because he was already the best in the world in his profession. But his competition was not with others; it was with his own self. His passion was for stretching himself.

We see from this example that growth does not happen automatically. It ensues when we commit ourselves to excellence in our endeavours.

India doesn’t lack talent. It lacks mindset. If we stopped measuring success by family wealth and started building from purpose—this country could lead the world. It already has the youth. What it needs is belief.

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

Stanford teaches what’s happening now, while much of IIT academia is stuck in the past. I got into Apple on my grades, but built Hotmail by learning on the job. Today, free knowledge from internet is the real teacher. Innovation comes from doing, not just studying. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Education

It does not make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.

You have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people do not stay. 

—Steve Jobs

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Learning is like peeling an onion— each layer reveals another layer, and occasionally, it makes you cry.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Intelligence isn't the ability to remember and repeat, like they teach you in school. It is the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

We named @Tesla after Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest engineers ever.

He was a penniless immigrant whose inventions led to American dominance in electricity generation and usage.

Almost a decade ago, UAE Foreign Minister HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed warned Europe of what would happen if they continued down their path of suicidal altruism by inviting dangerous fanatics into their nations. They should have listened.

Are you listening now?

This is @Imamofpeace. This is one of the bravest men you will ever find. He tells you exactly what you don’t want to hear, but should. He shows you what you don’t want to see, but should.

Please take the 4 minutes to watch this video, especially if you are in Canada, Britain, France, Australia and the US. This is mostly for you.
