New laboratory findings have raised alarm over the safety of the popular “Sukudai” cocktail, after tests revealed severe kidney and liver damage in rats exposed to the drink, with all test subjects dying within 24 hours.
Researchers conducting the study reported that the concoction, widely consumed in some communities as a recreational or energy-boosting beverage, caused rapid organ failure in laboratory rats. The results have prompted urgent warnings from health professionals about potential risks to humans.
“The lab results are extremely concerning,” said a lead researcher. “We observed acute toxicity affecting both the liver and kidneys, and the fact that all rats died within a day indicates a very high level of danger.”
The findings have sparked fear among consumers, with many taking to social media to express concern over the drink’s safety. Authorities have urged the public to avoid consuming Sukudai until comprehensive human safety assessments can be conducted.
Health experts warn that substances causing such severe effects in animals could pose similar threats to humans, including liver failure, kidney damage, and potentially fatal outcomes if ingested in large quantities or over time.
The study also highlights the broader dangers of unregulated beverages and cocktails, which often contain unknown chemicals, adulterants, or toxic ingredients. Public health officials are calling for stricter regulation, monitoring, and public awareness campaigns to prevent further harm.
As investigations continue, communities are being advised to prioritize safety and report any adverse reactions related to consumption of Sukudai or similar products. The study serves as a stark reminder of the hidden dangers posed by unverified or illicit drinks in the market.
