A couple of months ago, I saw something that amused me on Instagram. One woman posted a seed and talked about the health benefits. Then, a follower harmlessly asked for the scientific studies backing the claim, and the poster got angry.
If I had joined the conversation that day, my comment would have heightened the tension because I would have supported the follower who asked for scientific backing.
I will keep saying this: not all ethnobotanical claims are safe. For example, traditionally, babies are given honey during naming ceremonies, until science exposed the danger in doing so.
Let us learn to support our claims with scientific studies. That is what gives credence to all these ethnobotanical claims.
I got a lot of reactions on bone broth. I am happy that people are going to try it.
