Actress nayantara has been called out by Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, often known as "The Liver Doc," after she posted on instagram about the health benefits of hibiscus flower tea, following samantha Ruth Prabhu. nayantara stated that hibiscus flower tea has been used in ayurveda for a long time in her post, tagging her nutritionist. She highlighted the tea's high antioxidant content and its advantages in managing heart-related diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
The liver specialist responded by claiming there is little data to back these statements, providing a few study publications to refute them on X. He stated that more thorough scientific evidence is required before hibiscus flower health claims can be made with certainty.
 

“This is cinema actress nayantara who has more than twice the following of the other actress samantha misleading 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,” he wrote.
Nayanthara appeared to have removed her instagram post on the benefits of hibiscus tea after the remarks by 'The Liver Doc'.
