First Samantha and now Nayanthara - The Liver Doc Attacks again
If she had stopped at hibiscus tea is kind of tasty, that would have been ok. But no, they have to go ahead and blow their health-illiteracy trumpet and also claim that hibiscus tea is helpful in diabetes, high blood pressure, acne, antibacterial and protects against the flu.
Well, none of the above claims have been proven.
I know this, because I have expertise in modulation of gut microbiome and my department at the Liver Institute where I work, is the only one in the world that caters to stool transplant and microbiome modulation for patients with severe alcohol-related liver diseases.
Coming to the point, be very careful about having hibiscus tea on a daily basis.
Firstly, to clarify, Hibiscus tea is made from Hibiscus Sabdariffa or Roselle.
So Roselle (Hibiscus tea) supposedly has anti-diabetic and blood pressure lowering effects as per the post claim.
First, the blood pressure lowering effects: A 2021 meta-analysis conducted by the Cochrane hypertension group concluded that currently the evidence is insufficient to establish if roselle, when compared to placebo, is effective in managing or lowering blood pressure in people with hypertension.
