Detox tea may disrupt pill and lead to unexpected pregnancies
A popular detox tea blend claimed to support weight loss may actually be responsible for some temporary weight gains, as several female users report unexpected pregnancies after drinking the infusion. The herbal blend, dubbed BooTea, is reportedly responsible for a string of unexpected pregnancies caused by its laxative properties, which prevent the contraceptive pill from being absorbed correctly into the bloodstream. While the manufacturer displays a warning about the issue in the FAQ section of the website, it is not mentioned on product packaging and is now causing online furor. The Bootea detox comes in a 14- or 28-day regimen, with diarrhea being one of the listed side effects. The company has not responded to these allegations thus far.
