Liver Doctor takes on Nayanthara, Nayan furious

Nayanthara Responds to Backlash Over Hibiscus Tea Claims with Cryptic Quote

Nayanthara, the popular South Indian actress, has responded to the backlash she received for promoting hibiscus tea as a cure-all, with a cryptic quote on her Instagram Stories.

The controversy began when Nayanthara shared a post on Instagram extolling the virtues of hibiscus tea, claiming its benefits ranged from managing diabetes and acne to boosting the immune system. This prompted a swift response from Dr. Cyriac Abby Phillips, a renowned hepatologist and social media personality known as "The Liver Doc," who criticized the actress for spreading misinformation.

Dr. Phillips, in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), refuted Nayanthara's claims, stating that there is no scientific evidence to support the purported benefits of hibiscus tea for the ailments she mentioned. He further criticized the lack of an apology from the actress after she deleted the original post.
