However, the post does not identify the doctor, provide a medical institution, specify the recipe, or cite clinical research proving these extraordinary claims. Beetroot is nutritious and contains compounds such as dietary nitrate, but being healthy does not make it a proven treatment for serious disease<strong>&#8230;. Continue Reading \ud83d\udd3d<\/strong><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Beetroot and beetroot juice have been studied for several possible health effects, particularly blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Some research suggests nitrate-rich beetroot juice may modestly lower systolic blood pressure in certain people, although results vary and the overall evidence is not equally strong across every study. These findings cannot simply be extended to unrelated conditions such as cancer, diabetes, gastritis, or liver disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Claims that a drink \u201ckills cancer cells\u201d are especially misleading because laboratory findings do not automatically translate into successful treatment in humans. Cancer, diabetes, gastritis, and liver diseases are complex conditions with different causes, stages, and treatments. Proper medical care may involve medication, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, insulin, dietary management, or other individualized approaches depending on the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Beetroot can still be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, and legitimate scientific research into its nutrients should not be dismissed. But current evidence does not support describing a beetroot drink as a cure for cancer, diabetes, gastritis, or liver disease. People should be cautious with dramatic health claims online and should never replace prescribed treatment with an unverified drink or remedy without consulting an appropriate healthcare professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A viral social-media post claims that a beetroot-based drink can fight cancer, diabetes, gastritis, and liver disease, while referring vaguely to an\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42359,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Doctors are raising concerns about a viral beetroot drink being promoted online for cancer, diabetes and liver disease.
