The social media is crammed full of w:arnings, advice, and suggestions when it comes to our health.
And, if you are in the habit of looking up your symptoms online, you’ll know all too well exactly what it’s like to be bombarded with a million contradicting recommendations, with the latest to be all to do with a pharmacist who has issued a warning that drinking matcha could have a negative impact on people’s periods.
As we know, we’ve seen a boom in all things matcha this year, with both high-street and indie cafes alike pumping out bucketloads of the green elixir, which is essentially finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves.
So, you can imagine people’s panic after the likes of TikTok pharmacist @syahfarmasi claimed that matcha’s high caffeine content has the potential to disrupt your hormonal balance.
