Researchers at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts purchased a variety of kudzu extracts from stores and internet sites, tested them, and found that none of them worked to reduce craving for alcohol. Analyses revealed that all of the products contained less than one percent of active kudzu. To have any effect a product would need to be at least 30-40% kudzu and be taken at least twice a day.
However, Dr. Neil McGregor has pointed out that the active components of Kudzu have been linked with a 650% increase in Cervical cancer. Thus, Kudzu products, which are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, may be not only ineffective but dangerous to women's health.
The Kudzu plant is a cure for Alchoholism, that which is extremely profitable for the government. Did you think they cared about us?
