Великобритания вторгалась в 90% стран мира

Publisher’s rating: Манипуляция

The review says the 90% figure is based on a book that counted British presence or involvement in conflicts across at least 171 of 193 countries, including cases that were not active attacks. It also notes that some places counted as countries did not exist as independent states at the time, and cites an estimate that Britain invaded about 65% of states.

نشرت حسابات وصفحات على منصة إكس خبرا زعمت فيه أن جماعة الحوثيين سيطرت على سفينة قُبالة ميناء المخاء، واجبرتها على التوجه إلى مناطقهم

Publisher’s rating: خاطئ

The review says the British maritime authority reported an attack by armed men in boats near Mokha, then later reported that the Yemeni coast guard had detained the vessel. It adds that the vessel was inspected and resumed sailing, rather than being taken by the Houthis to their areas.

Turmeric powder can help with weight loss.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says research suggests curcumin, turmeric’s active compound, may have small weight-related benefits, but results vary and do not establish turmeric as a reliable or primary weight-loss method. It cites a 2023 review that found an average loss of about 0.8 kg across 60 clinical trials, while noting that experts urge caution and emphasize diet and exercise.
