<br />kava caused 'post -kava session .sudden death syndrome'
<br />and cited Clough and colleagues to support that claim.
<br />Bargnil et al. explained that nine people had died as a
<br />result of 'post -kava session sudden death syndrome' over
<br />a 13 -year period in New Caledonia. However, they noted
<br />that 'No autopsies were carried out and six of the nine
<br />deceased had been 'heavy smokers, [had] severe hyperten-
<br />sion, sleep apnoea, cardiac arrhythmia, asthma, [and/or a[
<br />family history of sudden death' 067). This claim was pub-
<br />lished as fact in a peer reviewed journal.
<br />The online Zink provided as part of the Castles (2015) ref-
<br />erence does not include the One News (TVNZ) article in
<br />which Castles stated, 'St Johns workload triples on
<br />New Year's Fee with the majority of that work being alco-
<br />hol related', a comment substantiated in an interview of St
<br />John Ambulance Operations Manager.
<br />This article has focused on three of the most common kava
<br />myths. For commentary on additional myths, misinforms -
<br />Own and uninformed opinion such as, 'kava tastes like
<br />mud', 'kava causes skin problems', 'kava takes men
<br />away from their families', and 'kava is umGodly anti-
<br />Christian and linked to pagan spiritualism', this is ms-
<br />aussed in Aporosa (2017a).
