Why such unprofessionalism.

Dear Prime Minister Sir,

You are publicly endorsing and platforming a charlatan with no training in healthcare and utmost disregard for scientific temperament, and who is an epitome of denigrating health literacy by promoting medical science denialism and spreading chemophobia among masses.

Mr. Jaggi Vasudev who calls himself as Sadguru, has previously called for normalizing heavy metal Mercury as a treatment for various diseases including mental health disorders. Mercury exposure results in mental health and neurological disorders.

Your disregard for those suffering from mental health disorders who require life changing drug therapy and healthcare workers who sacrifice their own life, time and resources caring for those suffering from mental illnesses, by actively promoting a lay person who is illiterate from every aspect of healthcare is unbecoming of the great leader we look forward from you in 2024 and beyond.

Moringa oleifera or Drumstick tree or सहजन

This viral post from a Professor of Neurology🥹at Banaras Hindu University is heavy on misinformation and misleading.

There is no doubt that leaves of the drumstick tree are nutritious and contain significant amounts of B vitamins, vitamin C, provitamin A as beta-carotene, vitamin K and manganese.

But also note that Moringa leaves are very rich in calcium in the form of calcium oxalate. Oxalate levels may vary from 430 to 1050 mg/100g, compared to the oxalate in spinach (average 750 mg/100g). High oxalate intake can lead to increased risk for kidney stone and complicated oxalate kidney disease. Oxalate kidney damage from diet/dietary supplements has been reported widely in medical literature.
See here: https://t.co/ZQhqg7e9Ia, here https://t.co/dqUr7Wo8Hm and here https://t.co/Oa0c26qhUJ

Preclinical studies (on cells, tissues, small animals) and low quality human studies (on small groups of people, uncontrolled experiments, poor design/methods) has examined how Moringa leaves/powder intake might affect blood lipid profiles and insulin secretion.

Despite considerable preliminary research to determine if moringa components have bioactive properties, no high-quality evidence has been found to indicate that it has any effect on health or diseases.

All studies are in lab-settings and none are proven to be useful in humans.

Moringa powder is also not without toxicity.
Studies have shown that incremental doses is known to cause genetic damage and may promote cancer formation whereas higher doses cause major organ damage (mostly liver and kidneys). This effect is seen with the seeds while toxicity of the leaves seems to be a lesser concern. Also, reasonable supplemental dosages appear to be able to induce abortions in pregnant rats and thus supplementation is not advised in pregnant women.

Contrary to what is mentioned in the original post, Moringa does nothing to reduce or prevent depression, has no considerable benefits on immune system, does not improve genital organ health, is not useful for dememtia or Parkinsons disease and has no useful outcomes in cancer or infections. All of these are wrongly mentioned on various posters.

Summary:
Moringa leaves/seed pods are nutritious as vegetables in diet. It is not a medicine. It is exactly like other vegetables with similar nutritive value. Again, it is not a medicine. Do not consume highly concentrated powder forms everyday. It is not safe. Use sparingly and enjoy it as a vegetable. Do not use consume Moringa dietary supplements. Once again, not a medicine. It could harm.
