Medical use

While reading/editing, I noticed that the medical claim use goes back to a single research group. I lack the credentials/background to properly evaluate medical literature, so I added a citation needed and thought it'd be prudent to leave a comment here. What made me particularly suspicious is the use of "bioactive" and the previously included long list of properties of compounds ("anti-oxidant, decrease blood cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, cancer-preventive, hypercholesterolemia, nematicide, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, pesticide, lubricant, anti-androgenic, flavor, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor cytotoxic effects, anti-arthritic, anti-asthma, diuretic, and anti-diabetic abilities"), see this revision. Both of these read to me as pseudo-scientific, but as noted I lack the background to properly assess the sources. Namnatulco (talk) 15:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
