One page per claim: what was forwarded, what the evidence says, what to do instead. Every sentence sourced; every page reviewed.
Ten forwards, checked
-
Claim 01 · Heart
Body warns 2 days before a heart attack
ExaggeratedWarning symptoms are real but non-specific, and there is no fixed "2 days before" signal.
-
Claim 02 · Heart
Cough CPR when alone with a heart attack
DangerousNo resuscitation body endorses it; coughing cannot stop a heart attack and wastes the minutes for a 112/108 call.
-
Claim 03 · Heart
Warm or lemon water dissolves heart blockages
UnsupportedNo drink dissolves arterial plaque or prevents a heart attack; blockages need medical treatment.
-
Claim 04 · Heart and brain
Chew an aspirin for a heart attack, and for a stroke
DangerousHeart attack: aspirin only if the operator or doctor says so. Stroke: never give aspirin; call 112 and note the time.
-
Claim 05 · Cancer
Cancer feeds on sugar; cutting sugar starves tumours
ExaggeratedYou cannot starve a tumour by cutting sugar; the real link runs through body fat.
-
Claim 06 · Children
Vaccines cause autism
UnsupportedStudies of more than 1.2 million children find no link; the 1998 paper of 12 children was retracted.
-
Claim 07 · Food
Microwaving destroys nutrients and makes food cancerous
UnsupportedNon-ionising energy cannot make food radioactive or cancerous; quick cooking usually keeps more vitamins than boiling.
-
Claim 08 · Pregnancy
Papaya or pineapple in pregnancy causes miscarriage
ExaggeratedRipe papaya is a normal food; the concern is unripe latex, shown only in rats. Pineapple has no evidence of harm.
-
Claim 09 · Infections
Kadha, honey or giloy prevents or cures COVID and viruses
ExaggeratedHoney eases a cough briefly; nothing in a kadha prevents or cures a virus; giloy has been linked to serious liver injury.
-
Claim 10 · Joints
Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis
UnsupportedEvery study that has looked finds no link between knuckle cracking and arthritis.
Every sentence on these pages traces to the sources listed on the page. A named registered physician's review is being arranged; until it appears on a page, read that page as a sourced guide, not as medical advice.
How this site works
The five labels
| Established | Consistent across systematic reviews or major guidelines. |
|---|---|
| Supported | Backed by good studies, with limits we name. |
| Exaggerated | A grain of truth stretched past what the evidence shows. |
| Unsupported | No credible evidence for the claim. |
| Dangerous | Following it could cause harm or delay care. |
The four source tiers
| 1 | Systematic reviews and meta-analyses: Cochrane, Johns Hopkins EPC. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Guideline bodies: WHO, ICMR, AHA/ACC, ESC, NICE, Indian Resuscitation Council. |
| 3 | Primary studies in major journals: Lancet, NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, Circulation. |
