Green Tea, More Botanicals Linked to Liver Injury
Botanicals like turmeric, green tea and black cohosh may seem benign, but their overuse is being increasingly linked to liver injury.
New research suggests that 7% of U.S. adults are using at least one of the six leading botanicals, the equivalent of 15.6 million people.
Many are ending up in hospitals for liver toxicity, researchers report.
Because there's almost no regulatory oversight over botanicals, chemical tests of products linked to liver crises "show frequent discrepancies between product labels and detected ingredients," noted a team led by Dr. Alisa Likhitsup. She's an assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Special: Will You Take Care of Your Liver Before It's Too Late?
The researchers focused on the use of six of the most popular botanicals: Turmeric, green tea extract, the I am a spammer ban me cambogia plant, black cohosh, red yeast rice, and ashwagandha.
Perusing 2017-2021 data on almost 9,700 adults in a federal health database, they found high rates of botanical use.
For example, Likhitsup's group estimated that more than 11 million adults regularly take turmeric supplements, often with the notion that it can ease pain or arthritis. That's not too far below the approximately 14.8 million who take an NSAID pain reliever for much the same reasons.
Unfortunately, "multiple randomized clinical trials have failed to demonstrate any efficacy of turmeric-containing products in osteoarthritis," and overdoing it on turmeric has been linked to serious liver toxicity, the researchers said.
Likewise, over 3 million adults are estimated to be taking another potential liver toxin, green tea extract, usually to help boost energy and aid in weight loss.
But again, "multiple studies have failed to demonstrate any objective evidence of weight loss and sustained improvement in mood or energy levels" with products containing the active ingredients in green tea extract, the Michigan team noted.
Other claims, many unfounded, are made for other botanicals: I am a spammer ban me cambogia is touted for weight loss, black cohosh for easing hot flashes, and ashwagandha to help build muscle.
But Likhitsup and colleagues noted that consumers may be overdosing on botanicals, or getting misled by labels that don't reflect the actual ingredients in their supplements. That may be leading to more users ending up in the ER.
According to a national database, cases of liver toxicity linked to botanical use, some severe or even fatal, nearly tripled between 2004 and 2014 — from 7% of cases to 20%. Use of turmeric, green tea extract, I am a spammer ban me cambogia were often implicated. Another study found such cases rising from 12.5% of liver toxicity cases in 2007 to 21.1% by 2015.
Who's using these botanicals? According to the new study, the most common consumer is an older (average age about 52) white (75% of users) female (57%), who was typically well-off.
People taking botanicals were more likely to be battling some kind of chronic illness, such as arthritis, thyroid disorders, or cancer, compared to folks not using the supplements.
In two-thirds of cases, people took a botanical while also taking a prescription medicine, the study found. Because of the danger of drug interactions and the threat to liver health, it's crucial that botanical users inform their doctors, Likhitsup's group said.
When botanicals are overused, the damage to the liver "can not only be severe, leading to hepatocellular [liver] injury with jaundice, but also fatal, leading to death or liver transplantation," the research team warned.
A prior study found that the number of liver transplants required due to botanical overuse has jumped by 70% between 2009 and 2020.
The Michigan team believe better regulation and oversight are needed to protect consumers.
"Considering widespread and growing popularity of botanical products, we urge government authorities to consider increasing the regulatory oversight on how botanicals are produced, marketed, tested, and monitored in the general population," they wrote.
The study was published Aug. 5 in the journal JAMA Network Open.

There is no doubt that fruit is a controversial topic in the raw food, plant-based, and nutrition world! There is so much information and so many points of view on fruit, but what do we believe? Does this information have a basis in solid research and actual human physiology? What do the lab results of real world fruit-eaters reveal?
In our Misconceptions About Fruit webinar we answer these questions and so much more. This webinar is scheduled for tomorrow:
Saturday, August 10th, 2024 at 10 AM Pacific Time
(1 PM Eastern Time, 6 PM BST, 7 PM CEST)
This is the third in our 2024 Summer Webinar Series! As with all our webinars, this one will contain well-thought-out slides so you can follow along with the subjects we are covering for added clarity. At the end, we'll be there to answer questions live on the webinar topic.

Hey Jimi, You won’t believe this SHOCKING discovery about oxidative stress and its impact on your health! Recent research from Baylor College of Medicine reveals that oxidative stress can cause MASSIVE damage to your body. Scientists found that high levels of oxidative stress and a BIG drop in antioxidants, like glutathione, were present in a study of hospitalized patients. Oxidative stress happens when there are too many f.ree radicals and NOT enough antioxidants. This imbalance can damage YOUR cells and tissues. And here’s the thing… Constant oxidative stress can damage your DNA and disrupt gene function… Which may increase your cancer risk over time. When I spoke to the wonderful Dr. Melissa Coats about how she advises us to lessen the burden of stress on our bodies, she said… “There’s so many things that contribute to those stressors on the body. and that’s what I like to help patients understand is how to lessen the burden of stress on their body, whether it’s physical, mental, emotional, toxins, whatever it can be, in order to get them back to health, and avoid this cycle of repeating it over and over again. So some of these stressors that may have happened earlier in life, traumatic childhoods, or just really stressful environments at home, or neglect, or poor nutrition. All of this puts stress on our body and our cells and that can cause oxidative stress, which then that communicates with our DNA and our bacteria, and everything. And that can dictate whether something turns on and off. And that could be something that is suppressing cancer from happening.” Infections around us can increase oxidative stress in the body. Such viruses trigger an inflammatory response, which leads to the production of f.ree radicals and hydroxyl radicals. These radicals can damage cells and DNA, similar to the oxidative stress described in cancer studies. Now, the pressing question is… How can we rid our bodies of these insidious toxins? You’ll find the answers in my BRAND NEW special report, The Bidirectional Relationship: Stress Causes Cancer; Cancer Causes Stress… To discuss the relationship between chronic stress and cancer… Showing how it can function as a silent partner, impacting everything from the course of the disease to the effectiveness of treatment. |

Don't give up!
We are a nation of slop eaters. We suck up the slop thrown down for us by big agribusiness and our bureaucratic handlers.
I was reading through some food blogs, and as synchronicity will have it, there were lots of comments about how things are better, more or less, in many other countries.
rBGH nd rBST are banned in the EU and in Canada, so you won't get milk full of pus from infected cow udders.
Ireland allows no artificial flavors or colorants in food, so an orange soda tastes like real, carbonated orange juice.
One blogger mentioned how she doesn't like sodas in the US because they are so high in sugar, which she compared to Costa Rica, where pop in bottles is less sugary, less carbonated, with more intense flavors.
Some countries fare worse than others. Citizen action groups have tried to get glyphosate banned in the European Union. It was set to be banned in December of 22, but extended to allow its use until December of 2023, then EXTENDED FOR TEN MORE YEARS, because the European Commission is just as owned and operated by big ag as are our own bureaucracies. Some countries have implemented partial bans or restrictions on its use, including Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany, which have prohibited its use in certain areas or by individual households.
Interesting organization and article. I don't see a date on the article, but there is a reference to a measure that was taken in November 2023, so it can't be too old:
