After attacking samantha with Hydrogen Peroxide, The Liver Doc is now back with a bang he has attacked Nayanthara for 'Hibiscus Tea' and he has vented out all his rage yet again. samantha who faced the wrath of 'The Liver Doc' kept a muted response and never even reacted to it later. But now, the onus is on Nayanthara.

He wrote, "This is cinema actress nayantara who has more than twice the following of the other actress samantha miselading her 8.7 million followers on a supplement called hibiscus tea.

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.

The influenza does not clear this aspect.
