The biggest jaundice myth most Indians still believe: ‘…is not how we treat hepatitis’
Hepatologist Cyriac Abby Philips clarified that jaundice is a symptom, not a disease, and can stem from liver-related or non-liver-related issues. He emphasized that a bland diet is not necessary for recovery; instead, a balanced diet rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and fats is essential for quicker healing. Experts warn against perpetuating traditional myths about jaundice, as they can lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and prolong recovery.
