  This is the first I'm hearing of turmeric and green tea being hepatotoxic. Unfortunately, the study states “the daily dose of an HDS product consumed by an individual patient was not recorded or available for analysis.” Does anyone know at what dosage/frequency do they become hepatotoxic? I'm a regular consumer of both (in their natural forms, not as extracts) and haven't had any liver issues (that I'm aware of). Maybe I should go get a checkup soon...
