Can eating black fungus regularly cleanse your blood vessels? The answer is here

Can black fungus cleanse your blood vessels? As a cardiologist with over ten years of experience, Dr. Zhang has indeed never heard of a treatment that uses black fungus to cleanse blood vessels. I think this may come from a health-care perspective, so where exactly does this claim come from? Today Dr. Zhang consulted the literature to talk with you about this question.

As everyone knows, black fungus is a food widely loved by the public, named because its shape resembles a human ear and its color is dark brown.

The idea of relying on black fungus to treat disease is unreliable. Black fungus is only a high-quality food, while drugs are
