Hello, actual Liver Diseases Specialist here.

This viral video is top of the line misinformation and an attempt to increase the business of a jackfruit-based product manufactured and sold by the speaker.

There is absolutely ZERO evidence that substituting processed jackfruit flour in your diet helps in the treatment of fatty liver or reverses fatty liver.

All the studies cited by this person in the video are funded by his own jackfruit-based product company - it has not been validated or replicated by other independent research groups or vetted by nutritional or dietary clinical societies.

The person in this video is an IT professional and has ZERO medical knowledge about normal anatomy, physiology and functioning of the liver, let alone any liver disease.

TED has flagged this talk and has cautioned viewers to not take this as medical advice. Nonetheless, this person and his PR team has succeeded in getting this absolute garbage talk into the minds of the medically illiterate who will now queue up to buy his product. Apart from the >500K views on YouTube, this health misinformation has spread like wildfire on Whatsapp and I have been receiving multiple forwards asking me to fact check this claim. I thought it was important for me to do so.

Strangely, this was the same guy, whose same jackfruit-based product once upon a time marketed for diabetes control, which was once under the scanner for adulteration with metformin (a diabetes reducing drug). Magically, that news took a u-turn and the jackfruit product was cleared as "original" and "unadulterated" later on (it is India, let your imagination go wild as to how).

You do not need to spend any additional money buying processed and powdered jackfruit to control your non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (called MASLD now). Check out these "Rules".

Rule 1
Control your metabolic syndrome - take medications to control diabetes, thyroid disease, high lipids, high uric acid or high blood pressure. Ifyou are diagnosed with fatty liver - screen for the reasons you have developed fatty liver. Treating the causes of fatty liver reverses disease. Repeat: it is not treatment of fatty liver, it is treatment of causes for the fatty liver that is paramount.

Rule 2
If overweight or obese, lose weight
See these simple to understand recommendations: https://t.co/J13dLXPvrx

Rule 3
Control your food portions or include standardized, safe meal replacements. But do not reduce your food quality. Check out Table III from this paper for an idea -on meal portions and quality: https://t.co/RXeRNVfuGC

Rule 4
Go on a calorie deficit diet
Here is how you can plan a meal (without paying any jackfruit agent): https://t.co/XYDeb9LrWv

Rule 5
Aerobic exercise & weight training
Here is a detailed document on exercise protocols you can use: https://t.co/kY352DJgU5 and a simple summary: https://t.co/vkQJRBSvJu

Rule 6
Drink black coffee. Even decaf is ok. 3 cups (100-120ml) daily - remember no sugar, creamer or milk. May add a bit of non-sugar zero or low-calorie sweetener if bored once in a while.

Rule 7
If you have chronic illnesses/ morbidly obese and the above standard guidance is not helping you, speak with your doctor regarding candidacy for special drug treatments (semaglutide) or surgical managements (bariatric surgery).

Rule 8
Stop 'consuming' health information from IT Professionals on YouTube and such social media.

Summary: Jackfruit does not hold any key, let alone go into any keyhole, to solving fatty liver. But it does hold the key to solving a dwindling saving account of certain grifter who sell misinformation to float their businesses propped up on flimsy, half-baked evidence masqueraded as "medical evidence."

Buyer beware.

Shocking visuals! 😭💔

At a time when thousands in #Kolkata, mostly women are protesting peacefully, a mob breaks into #RGKarHospital

The mob broke the barricade to enter the premises, broke vehicles, broke the gate to the emergency ward and vandalised the whole area.

Need a “three stock portfolio” with high growth prospects?

PE would be High. But, these may get rewarded in the long run!

Retweet & if it gets 100+ retweets, then you will get the three stocks after that.

Another innocent life lost. Dr Vandana spent her entire youth training to be a doctor and lost her life because proper security measures were not taken by the authorities.
Such a news makes you feel extremely sad and angry at the same time.
RIP!

Received a delegation of MBBS students seeking postponement of their examinations. There has been a lack of sympathy on the part of university administrators & the State Govt throughout the pandemic for the travails of our students which have caused great hardship to thousands.
