Bengaluru: Former MP and actress Ramya has lashed out at actor Darshan, Prajwal Revanna, former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, and Suraj Revanna, who are facing allegations of sexual assault and murder.

In a post on the social networking site 'X', Ramya criticized the rich and powerful individuals accused of breaking the law, stating, "The ones breaking the law who have been in the news are the rich and powerful and the ones at the receiving end of their violent actions are the poor, women & children. The common people of Karnataka. Hats off to the police and media for bringing these crimes out. Justice will truly be done when trial is expedited and the cases are taken to their logical conclusion. If justice doesn’t prevail- then what message are we giving to the public?”

Claim: An Instagram video suggests drinking a concoction prepared by boiling garlic and cumin seeds with lemon extract to burn fat.
Fact: The claim is misleading. The recipe alone cannot burn fat. A balanced diet and good exercise are essential.

An Instagram video about an ‘ancient method’ to burn body fat has gone viral. The video advises boiling two cloves of garlic and a teaspoon of cumin seeds mixed with lemon juice in two cups of water and drinking it on an empty stomach to burn fat.

Fact Check

NewsMeter found that the claim is misleading.

Dr Raghavendra Cherukku, an interventional cardiologist, explained if the method is useful for burning fat: “There is no single strategy to reduce fat. This strategy has to be supplemented with an intake of healthy food and regular exercise. The antilipidemic property of garlic can help reduce LDL and increase HDL but has no impact on triglycerides.”

Garlic has antioxidant and antibiotic properties, which can aid in other health benefits.

“Some studies done on rats and humans have proved the antilipidemic properties of garlic can help burn fat. However, taking the concoction on an empty stomach can be detrimental for those with gastric issues. Hence it can be taken after eating food,” Dr Raghavendra said.

A balanced diet with high protein and fibre, and low oil and low carbohydrates is essential to reduce triglycerides. Food containing carbohydrates, like maida, gets converted into triglycerides, which cannot be reduced by taking the concoction.

“Most South Indian diets use a lot of oil, around 10-15 tablespoons per day, against the maximum requirement of 2-3 tablespoons per day. Physical exercise for 150 minutes per week and a balanced diet are essential to reduce triglycerides and bad cholesterol,” Dr Raghavendra added.
