Black Milk Drink Gains Popularity Amid Skin Benefit Claims and Expert Skepticism
A sesame-based drink called 'black milk' is gaining popularity on social media for its claimed skin benefits, including glowing skin, reduced pigmentation, and boosted collagen. Actress Adah Sharma shared a homemade recipe featuring roasted black sesame seeds, cashews, dates, salt, and water. However, dermatologist Dr. Sachin Gupta states there is no scientific evidence supporting these skin improvement claims, cautioning that nutritional content does not guarantee cosmetic effects when consumed as a drink.
