กินลูกพลับร่วมกับกล้วยและนมเปรี้ยว เป็นอันตรายต่อสุขภาพ

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says there is no scientific evidence that eating persimmons with bananas and fermented milk is poisonous or harmful, and reports that Thailand’s Department of Health likewise called the claim false. It notes that the foods can be eaten together, while cautioning that their combined sugar and energy intake may be excessive.

Factcrescendo Sri LankaDisasters & emergencies

First Tornado in Sri Lanka (Video)

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The video shows a waterspout recorded off Point Pedro beach in 2022, not a tornado. The review also notes that tornadoes have occurred in Sri Lanka before, so the event would not be the country’s first.

FACTLYElections & voting

Hindustan’ newspaper clippings showing that in the Katehari and Phulpur constituencies, both the winning BJP candidates and the trailing SP candidates received 78,289 votes and 66,984 votes, respectively, which hints EVM manipulation.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the viral clippings were digitally edited. It reports that the original figures matched in Phulpur, but in Katehari BJP candidate Dharmraj Nishad received 104,091 votes and SP candidate Shobhawati Verma received 69,597.
