The food supplement that ruined my liver
Maggie Ren

A Texas man who decided to start exercising and
eating well had a health scare a few months later.
50-year-old Jim McCants from the Dallas area
had taken green tea capsules for 2-3 months.
Doctors said the supplement damaged his liver,
and he needed an emergency transplant.
The next day he had surgery to save his life.
It’s now been four years, and he still has
health issues, including kidney problems.
Experts say modest green tea drinking is safe,
but concentrated extracts may pose problems.
The safety of the supplement hasn’t been tested.
Other people have also reported ill effects.
