Dietary supplements causing severe liver injuries in Australians

• 1shooner 5y ago
  The study[1] doesn't appear to define 'supplement'. Is there some understood definition? That seems like a vague term to apply statistical analysis to without some categorization. 1. https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2021/215/6/drug-induced-liver-injury-australia-2009-2020-increasing-proportion-non?utm_source=carousel&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=homepage https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2021/215/6/drug-induced-liver...

    Every country has an agency that regulates drugs and supplements. For Australia see https://www.tga.gov.au/complementary-medicines https://www.tga.gov.au/complementary-medicines

  From the article: Tylenol alone represents a majority of liver injuries. Weird supplements were responsible for 13% of injuries, behind every other cause.

  What a stupid article - it doesn't mention which supplements are supposed to be causing these liver injuries.
