Elderberry, Echinacea, Cranberries: Miracle Cures or Just Hype for Your Cold and Flu?
At least cranberries have never been reported to cause pancreatitis. A man taking an elderberry extract not only suffered an attack of acute pancreatitis, a sudden painful inflammation of the pancreas, but it went away when he stopped it, then reappeared again years later when he tried taking it again, which suggests cause-and-effect. Why take elderberry extracts when you can just eat the elderberries themselves? Well, cooked are fine, but “consuming uncooked blue or black elderberries can cause nausea and vomiting.”
