@GyanTherapy At this rate, Apple’s prices will soon be competing with Audi and BMW because apparently, buying a phone wasn’t expensive enough already. 😏

Your brain gets better at whatever you repeat. If you spend hours every day worrying about worst-case scenarios, your mind becomes an expert at finding things to worry about.

India-specific innovation:
Saw this label on my Amazon parcel saying "if a pink dot appears do not accept"
Having worked in eCommerce for a decade, I instantly knew: People heat the seal to weaken the adhesive and steal the valuables inside while putting the blame on the eCommerce company. Sure enough, I heated the tape and it showed up the pink spots.

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.
