A study on 150 individuals with chronic kidney disease showed that participants who were given 8 µg or 16 µg of lubiprostone had slower decline in kidney function.

Cycling 30 minutes daily can significantly enhance cardiovascular health, says Dr Vajjala Shravani, MPT (Cardiovascular). "It elevates your heart rate and improves blood circulation," she added.

The claim that a 10-day sugarcane-juice regimen can manage diabetes lacks evidence. While cane juice contains antioxidants, its high sucrose content and glycaemic load can raise blood glucose levels-counterproductive for diabetes management. The fact-check by Dr Naseemuddin deems the claim false.

Reusing fried oil is common but harmful. FSSAI advises avoiding reuse or limiting it to a maximum of three times, never mixing old and fresh oil. Reheated oil forms toxic compounds that raise risks of heart disease, cancer, and inflammation. Street vendors must follow strict guidelines. Properly cool, strain, store, and recycle used oil—never pour it down the drain.
Emerging evidence links persistent vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats) with increased incidence of type-2 diabetes. Studies show women experiencing regular, severe hot flashes may exhibit insulin resistance and glucose dysregulation over time. THIP Media highlights this connection, not as proof, but as a risk signal worth monitoring.
The assertion that two Guava leaves can reverse Diabetes mellitus within 15 days lacks evidence. Though Dr Annusuiya, MD Scholar at the All India Institute of Ayurveda, says guava-leaf extracts may exert modest alpha-glucosidase inhibition and support glycaemic control in type-2 diabetes, no human trial demonstrates reversal or cure. The original social-media claim is therefore rated false.
