I buy these things but I wonder if they are truly pharmacologically-active and not just bullshit. Discuss
minus-squarethelastknowngodlinkfedilink9•9 months agoI remember going to a tea shop years ago. The person working there asked if I wanted one of the samples they had. The conversation went like this: “It’s good for heart health, your liver, and getting rid of toxins.” “Does it taste good too?” “Oh yeah. Of course.” “Ok. Let’s start there.” Tea can do many things but it’s not medicine. That’s stupid.
