I've never heard that.  IN fact, I read here to use ginger for n/v after chemo and such.  I can handle the snaps and cookies and what not, but COULD not even stand the smell of it in tea.  But my smeller was way out of whack, more so than my taste buds

I have heard nothing contrary to ginger.  In fact, over on the Lymphedema board, we've discussed ginger as an anti-inflammatory that may help relieve LE symptoms. 

I certainly hope ginger stays on our list of good things.  I love it in every possible form.  You can even get chocolate-covered candied ginger.  Yummy!

thanks for all the replies.  I juice ginger in the morning with carrot, beetroot, garlic and celery.  i also snack on "snacking ginger'.  I too would hate to give it up.

I haven't heard that either, and I've been reading a lot this year about nutrition.  shed, I juice also and like to add a slice of ginger.  I've been juicing lemon, orange, apple, carrot, celery and cucumber with a slice of ginger.  It's my all time fave so far, but when I get friends to sample it, they grimace.  Gotta say, just thinking about your combo makes me grimace.  lol  ginger in juice is really great though.  We agree there.
