Sharing latest publication in Diabetes Obesity Metabolism (DOM) on histological efficacy of anti-diabetic agents in MASLD indicating benefits of targeting dual incretin pathways and plausible weight loss-independent antifibrotic pathways especially relevant for SGLT2 inhibitors.

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.

Why are statins administered at night?

In this tweetorial I'll discuss the mechanistic and historical reasons for the frequently used QHS dosing schedule. And why it's often unnecessary.

But before we get there, I'm curious: when do you prescribe/order/take statins?
