    It's just two science illiterates sharing their ignorance: TheLiverDoc

    Dandelion is a vegetable that most people consider a weed: TheLiverDoc

Tollywood actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been slammed by Dr Cyriac Abby Philips (popularly known as TheLiverDoc on X) for the promotion of Dandelion to “detoxify the liver.” Samantha’s health podcast, Take 20, hosted wellness coach and nutritionist Alkesh Sharotri wherein this discussion ensued. “This is Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a film star, misleading and misinforming over 33 million followers on “detoxing the liver.” The podcast features some random health illiterate “Wellness Coach & Performance Nutritionist” who has absolutely no clue how the human body works and has the most rubbish content on his Instagram handle, including complete nonsense such as herbs to manage autoimmune disorders. I am not sure how people with massive following very easily figure out the worst, science-illiterate people for them to invite to talk on science, medicine and health on “health podcasts” that are in fact nothing to do with health or medicine. It’s just two science illiterates sharing their ignorance. The Wellness Coach guy is not even a real medical person and would probably have no idea about functions of the liver,” Dr Cyriac stated on X. 

 

Dr Cyriac analysed Dandelion from a scientific perspective. “He says the best herb to improve liver health is Dandelion. Dandelion is a vegetable that most people consider a weed. It is sometimes used as a salad green. Dandelion can be used in salad. About 100 g of dandelion provides about 10-15% of your daily potassium requirements, at little to no caloric intake. Dandelion can increase urine output and work as a “diuretic” or like a “water pill” as per traditional medicine. But there is a lack of good human evidence for this effect. Consuming wild dandelions is not recommended, especially those grown in urban and suburban settings, due to high risk of pesticide exposure,” Dr Cyriac highlighted.
