I published Huluba on April 4, 2023: Is there any research evidence to actually lower blood sugar sterol? Reader Elliot provided two relevant information in the response column that day, and the next day he and another reader Deerhsu also made some interesting conversations about health care products. I copied and translated their messages as follows:
Elliot: Dr Abby Philips, a specialist in liver disease, gave an aid of reference on Hulubafeng's argument. Personally viewing health foods/ingredients "Before evaluating the effects, check the risks." Doctors in liver, toxicology, and immunology are probably particularly interested in the harm of health foods, especially herbal medicines. Can Your Health Supplements Kill You? (Will your health care products kill you?)
{99Elliot: Natural, herbal health food/Chinese herbal medicine, like medicines, side effects, toxicity analysis, risk assessment, safety dose, etc. need to be included in the comprehensive consideration, such as: hepatotoxicity of Huluba. A little more sharing. The Dangers of Herbal Supplements: A Case of Acute Liver Injury From Fenugreek (A Case of Acute Liver Injury from Fenugreek). Conclusion: Fenugreeba is a plant-based supplement traditionally recommended to increase milk production in lactating women and as a wide range of health benefits of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, antidiabetic agents and hypochondrosteremia. Although many benefits have been proposed, Huluba's toxicity continues to increase as more and more studies reveal toxicological effects. Hepatotoxicity has been noted, including atrophy, hepatitis, and early hepatic distortion, especially at high doses. (Moderator notes: This is a case report published in 2018. The patient is a 34-year-old woman)
Deerhsu: It is not advisable to be a herb that cannot be regarded as a daily diet! Who would have nothing to eat tree branches, skin leaves, so Chinese herbal medicine is divided into the best, medium and low-quality products. The best is considered food (Glycyrrhiza …). If you catch a cold, you should stop taking the medicine immediately. Because the medicine is toxic, Bupleurum can treat the liver and harm the liver. Even if you are overmade, it is not suitable for daily use. In ancient times, the royal life gold pot did not drink soup medicine instead.
Elliot: The relationship between food and medicine, I will share my personal tips and tips. Any ingredient is taken under a food prototype, which generally has a lower risk and is often better than being taken from health foods. For example, green tea is used to drink for daily life, which may be healthier in the long run, but green tea extracts health foods, but there are many cases of acute liver failure. The ginger yellow (the main ingredient of yellow curry) and featherba (the main ingredient of brown curry) are integrated into curry and Masala cuisine, which is also a ring of healthy diet and delicious cuisine. However, as supplements, hepatotoxic records are also recorded. In Chinese medicine, wolfberry is used as a dish or brewed with tea. It has recorded a lot of nourishing effects in medicine, and it is very useful and delicious. However, recently, I often see health foods such as wolfberry essence, wolfberry filling, and wolfberry stew in supermarkets all over the world. There is no evidence of any harm, but I personally avoid it. There are so many examples of food and medicine related to it that there are so many … maybe it is my prejudice, Michael Pollan's classic proverb “ Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” (Eat food, don't eat too much, mainly plant-based) I remember it. Health foods are mostly focused on high dose/high unit of certain ingredients. People also expect the higher the dose, the more effective it is and the higher the CP value. However, there are unknown, long-term and other derivative risks behind too much good stuff.
All kinds of food ingredients seem to have a certain degree of long-term benefit under prototypes. However, after processing (condensation, extraction, hydrolysis, distillation, extraction, spraying, molding, molecular structure modification, etc.) is made into various (high dose/high unit) health foods (regardless of whether the ingredients are real, most of the sampling does not match the mark), they are considered as drugs, and their dose, side effects, risks, toxicity, and interactions are evaluated, which is not so safe and harmless. In the pathological reports of acute liver failure and kidney failure, unregulated health foods (especially herbal medicines) are often the main cause of the disease.
What you said is that "medicine is toxic and should not be taken daily" is true. You must evaluate the pros and cons by a doctor, rather than taking it daily, but this medicine also contains health foods.
Moderator notes: The last sentence "You must pass the doctor's diagnosis and evaluation of the pros and cons" should be a bitter and honest saying, and it is also a suggestion that is often seen on trustworthy medical websites. Unfortunately, there are many poor doctors who are now vigorously promoting various health products that have no health effects (may be harmful).
Moderator adds: Please watch the new consumers and brands that are published by "Food Power"! How to make the health food puff bigger than 160 billion?
