A probiotics company called GoodBug that sells a variety of products containing various strains of bacteria with claims that their products promote weight loss, reduce PCOD symptoms, "cleanse the gut," improve IBS and "balance" hormones. They are lying.

Here is how...

2/15
Their products claims are based on "fictional" data, weak science or possible falsification of data. This is classically: "fringe science."

"Ideas that challenge established scientific views, considered unproven or speculative. Encompass theories that deviate significantly from mainstream science, lack empirical evidence, based on flawed premises."

3/15
Akin to other nutraceutical companies, the products display terms like "SCIENCE," "EVIDENCE," "SCIENTIFIC," etc... without actually providing any data to back those claims. Some do provide data, but mostly preclinical studies and never solid human studies that are rigorous.

Breaking: Our exhaustive paper on liver toxicity of various herbs/ plants used in Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (Ayush) systems of alternative medicine is out now (free to read)
with @arifhussaintm

This paper was initially an invited paper by an Indian journal. The reviewers and Editorial board rejected the "invited" paper because they thought the paper was "too critical" of traditional, cultural and religious [unscientific] aspects of healthcare practice among Indian community and feared backlash from the alternative systems regulatory body (Ayush Ministry) and Ayurveda and Homeopathy practitioners & their organizations of they accepted their own "invited" paper.

The Indian medical science community is now hostage to it's unscientific past due to a deepening lack of scientific temperament among doctors, worrying knee-jerk response style assault from the alternative medicine industry/practitioners/regulators and general apathy towards patients & public health. It's disappointing.

Since they were spineless to publish our factual paper, we sent this to a neutral journal for peer review (which is got through) and paid open access publication fee, so that everyone could read it for free.

Please read and share this important paper which educates physicians on herbal liver toxicity from seemingly benign plant sources which they need to be aware of.

The subsequent posts also highlights infographics summary of various toxic Ayush-based botanicals that are increasingly reported to harm public and patients.

Thanks in advance, and I hope doctors in India start fearlessly respecting science rather than intentionally embracing ignorance & selfishly covering up themselves in a safety bubble, thereby endangering public health in the process.journals.lww.com/md-journal/ful…
