Major safety alert over CBD products promoted by celebrities including Claudia Winkleman is issued by watchdogs
- Experts warn regular long-term cannabidiol use may harm the liver and thyroid
Watchdogs have issued a major safety alert over CBD products promoted by celebrities such as Claudia Winkleman to boost health and well-being.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned that regular long-term consumption of cannabidiol, derived from the marijuana plant, is ‘potentially harmful’ to the liver and thyroid.
As a result, it has drastically reduced the recommended daily intake limit for the chemical from 70mg to just 10mg.
It is the first time that any government food watchdog around the world has produced such a limit for CBD.
The FSA’s move will raise concerns among the millions who regularly consume CBD based on claims it provides relief for anxiety and depression, aids sleep and relaxation, and helps joint pain.
