More like a pull. The day is done, the kitchen is quiet, and the idea of a drink arrives before you have chosen anything. You pour one. Somewhere after that the bottle is emptier than you meant it to be, and you did not notice the moment it happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the morning, and the small flat feeling that sits under everything until about eleven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou have already tried to stop this on willpower.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most people reading this have, more than once, and it worked for a while. The problem was never that you did not want it enough. The problem is that willpower is a decision you have to make again at six o'clock every single evening, and the pull does not get tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKudzu does not remove that pull. Nothing you can buy does. What it may do is put a little distance between the signal and the pour, so the decision is yours again instead of something that has already happened to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"rule\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat kudzu actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKudzu (\u003cem\u003ePueraria lobata\u003c\/em\u003e) is a climbing vine used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, including specifically for people who drank heavily. The part that matters is a group of compounds in the root called \u003cstrong\u003eisoflavones\u003c\/strong\u003e, mainly puerarin, daidzin and daidzein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKudzu has been looked at in \u003cstrong\u003esmall human trials\u003c\/strong\u003e, most of them run at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in which heavy drinkers were given kudzu extract and then observed in a natural drinking setting. Those studies reported participants drinking fewer beers per session and taking longer over each one. They were small, short, and they measured drinking behaviour rather than any long-term outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are telling you the size of that evidence on purpose. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is interesting, it is not proof, and anyone selling you kudzu as a cure is lying to you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"rule\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo ingredients.
