papaya leaves can increase platelet in just 12 hrs

Publisher’s rating: Half True

Related reporting describes platelet increases associated with papaya leaf juice, but the cited Malaysian report says counts increased after three days of daily use—not within 12 hours. The supplied excerpts therefore do not support the claim’s specific timeframe. [S4]

dpaScience & space

Le pétrole existe sur terre en abondance, comme l'eau.

Publisher’s rating: Au rythme actuel de consommation, les réserves mondiales de pétrole s'épuiseront d'ici 47 ans. Le pétrole est une source d'énergie non renouvelable. En revanche, la quantité d'eau sur Terre est constante, seule sa forme change (par exemple, vapeur d'eau ou glace). La pénurie existante et croissante est celle d'eau potable.

The claim that oil is as abundant as water is false: oil is consumed much faster than it forms, making it a non-renewable resource, and emptied oil fields do not replenish. Earth’s total water cycles through different forms, though potable water is scarce.

dpaWar & conflict

L'Allemagne met fin à toute aide militaire à destination de l'Ukraine.

Publisher’s rating: Non, aucune annonce officielle n'a été faite en ce sens. Au contraire, l'Allemagne s'est engagée à fournir une nouvelle aide militaire à l'Ukraine d'ici fin 2024. Le chancelier allemand Olaf Scholz a par ailleurs assuré que son pays resterait un important fournisseur d'équipement militaire pour Kiev dans le futur.

FACTLY

Video of a news report by Rajat Sharma about the death of Dr. Bimal Chhajed, a cardiologist who spoke out against pharmaceutical companies, in a car explosion.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the viral video is AI-generated, combining clips from unrelated footage: Rajat Sharma discussing the Israel-Iran war, a police officer discussing the Kulgam encounter, and Dr. Bimal Chhajed discussing heart attacks and prevention. The review says the audio was manipulated and reports that Chhajed himself called the video fake and fabricated.
