Samantha Ruth Prabhu has faced criticism over allegedly misleading information to her 33 million followers regarding 'liver detoxing.' Recently, a liver specialist called out Samantha for inviting a non-medical expert to her health podcast series. Identified as The Liver Doc on X, he shared a comprehensive statement on their official account, accusing the actress and her podcast guest of disseminating inaccurate information about health and medicine.

The user posted a video excerpt from Samantha's YouTube podcast, where her guest discussed the significance of herbs like dandelion in enhancing liver health, and commented, "This is Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a film star, misleading and misinforming over 33 million followers on ‘detoxing the liver’. The podcast feature some random health illiterate 'Wellness Coach & Performance Nutritionist' who has absolutely no clue how the human body works and has the most rubbish content on his Instagram handle, including complete nonsense such as herbs to manage autoimmune disorders I am not sure how people with massive following very easily figure out the worst, science-illiterate people for them to invite to talk on science, medicine and health on 'health podcasts' that are in fact nothing to do with health or medicine. It’s just two science illiterates sharing their ignorance. The Wellness Coach guy is not even a real medical person and would probably have no idea about functions of the liver."

He further said, "I am a liver doctor, a trained and registered hepatologist diagnosing and treating liver disease patients since one decade and this is complete and utter BS (bullsh*t). Dandelion, is a vegetable that most people consider a weed. It is sometimes used as a salad green. Dandelion can be used in salad. About 100 g of dandelion provides about 10-15% of your daily potassium requirements, at little to no caloric intake."This is Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a film star, misleading and misinforming over 33 million followers on "detoxing the liver."
