This article's section on health-related benefits is contradictory and full of medical jargon, including a direct quote from a medical journal full of medical terminology. Additionally, the citation from the 2004 study containing the direct quote contradicts the conclusions of the 2007 study, but is cited after it in a way that suggests it is more authoritative. Please fix this terrible article, and insert some helpful information which doesn't leave the reader horribly confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.20.93.69 (talk) 04:59, 6 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
The quote from the 2004 study seems to say that hibiscus extract is as effective an antihypertensive as the drug Catopril. That doesn't contradict the 2007 study, it is a separate matter. In fact, the 2004 study abstract says that the "results showed that H. sabdariffa was able to decrease the systolic blood pressure (BP) from 139.05 to 123.73mm Hg (ANOVA p < 0.03) and the diastolic BP from 90.81 to 79.52mm Hg (ANOVA p < 0.06)." I agree a bit about the jargon, though quotes are important and effective. Nicmart (talk) 18:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
