Reports from the Indian Council of Medical Research highlight that consuming extremely bitter bottle gourd juice can lead to severe health complications, including fatalities in rare instances. The side effects of bitter bottle gourd are not a myth but a serious form of food poisoning caused by toxic compounds known as cucurbitacins.

According to a 2011 study published in the *Indian Journal of Gastroenterology*, cases of severe gastrointestinal bleeding and even death were linked to the consumption of extremely bitter bottle gourd juice. This makes it critically important to understand who should not drink bottle gourd juice, as it is not safe for everyone and requires specific precautions to avoid serious health risks.
