Papaya seeds are different. They have a strong, peppery taste and are not a proven treatment for liver disease. Eating large quantities may cause digestive discomfort, and the safety of concentrated papaya seed preparations has not been established for treating medical conditions.
Anyone with diabetes should be especially careful with online claims about natural remedies. Diabetes management involves monitoring blood glucose, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising appropriately and taking prescribed medication when necessary. Replacing diabetes treatment with papaya seeds or another unproven remedy could allow blood sugar to remain dangerously high.
The same caution applies to thyroid problems. Thyroid disorders can result from different conditions, including an underactive or overactive thyroid, autoimmune disease and other causes. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis. Papaya seeds should not be used as a substitute for thyroid medication or professional medical care.
