Is Palm wine (Taadi/Toddy) dangerous for health?
I have been to rural villages and people during Summers line up to get Palm Wine early in the morning. They say it is best when taken early in the morning and has many health benefits if taken in moderation. It is said to improve their digestion and also save them from heatstroke. I did some research about it and found that it definitely has health benefits according to various research papers published. I would have provided the links for those papers but ISC doesn't allows it. There are many papers published in reputed journals about the benefits of palm wine. It is believed to provide good number of minerals and improve gut health too.Of course there are some ill effects if one becomes addicted to it. Like any other alcoholic drink it causes liver damage if taken without any limits. The same disadvantages are also there when you are drinking alcohol made by a government licensed industry. Every year people die due to alcohol made by illegal distilleries and majority of such cases happen in states which have banned alcohol. I haven't tried this drink because it doesn't look good to me. Has anyone tried it?
