Claimant: Chiropractor Eric Berg
Claim: Black seed oil is “the #1 most anti-inflammatory food in the world,” and “one little teaspoon” reduces joint inflammation “better than ibuprofen.”
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Some small studies suggest black seed oil may have benefits for blood sugar control or certain inflammatory conditions when used alongside conventional treatment. However, there is no evidence that it is the world’s most anti-inflammatory food, works better than ibuprofen, or can independently treat disease.
