[edit] Boswellic acids and liver damage
What is the basis of the statement "Caution is advised when using boswellic acids as dietary supplements, given the link between large doses of Boswellia extract and liver damage?" A recent article indicates in fact boswellic acids may have a hepatoprotective effect. Y J, Kamath JV, Asad M.,Effect of hexane extract of Boswellia serrata oleo-gum resin on chemically induced liver damage. Pak J Pharm Sci. 2006 Apr;19(2):129-33.

- I have removed the statement, as it pretty much constitutes medical advice, and cited the Pak J Pharm Sci study. Fvasconcellos 20:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
