Social media is full of claims that a single glass of a homemade drink can cure diabetes, reverse fatty liver, or eliminate swelling overnight. While chayote and lime are nutritious ingredients, there is no scientific evidence that this drink can cure diabetes, fatty liver disease, or serious circulation problems. However, it can be a refreshing, low-calorie beverage to enjoy as part of a balanced diet.
