Removing extensive misinformation edit

This edit was justified to remove the elaborate hyperbolic conjecture about biological and clinical effects of naringenin, as projected from in vitro and early-stage lab and clinical studies. There were no WP:MEDRS reviews used (because they don't exist) for any of these supposed effects.

As for other flavonoids, the effects of naringenin in vivo may be impossible to study under current research conditions. The main points are that a) the parent molecule is rapidly degraded during digestion into smaller metabolites, which b) have unknown fates in the body, and c) are either bound to blood proteins or excreted into urine within minutes.

All around just bad sourcing, mostly animal models without any good reviews as you noted. There isn't any good clinical data on this subject currently. It's probably worth checking if any other Wikipedia articles related to flavanoids are citing unreliable content like this. I will take a look. Psychologist Guy (talk) 13:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
