People on the Internet got furious upon discovering that a person recently said in a post on Facebook that they had been sneaking their urine into their child's food.
Newsweek reported, the said Facebook post about the urine therapy had gone viral. Originally posted on the r/insaneparents subreddit of Reddit entitled, "I have several questions," an astonishing Facebook post's screenshot has gained almost 10,000 votes and ignited rage throughout a comment section from hundreds of furious parents.
As seen in the Facebook group Urine Magic, intended for the practice of urine therapy, in the original post, one parent posted they have been mixing lemonade and urine to make popsicles for their daughter.
In the post, the parent also said that she had been adding half an ounce of her urine to lemonade and making it into popsicles for the child. She added that their daughter didn't notice, and she already saw the benefits.

Later in the post, the parent also revealed that they have been giving their friend's daughter the same popsicles without consulting the parents, although they added that they are certain these parents will be thankful when the improvement in the cognitive abilities of their child becomes undeniable.
The said FB group, which has 37,000 members, wrote that urine treatment is a "naturopathic medicine and practice of drinking" a person's urine for health, longevity, and vitality. Nevertheless, despite the rising popularity of such a practice, the benefit of drinking urine remains unproven.
A Healthline report said that drinking urine is not recommended and can introduce toxins and bacteria. Between gastrointestinal issues and other infections coming from bacteria in the urinary tract and the kidneys that suffer from excess strain since they are focused on filtering out concentrated wasted products, the risk of drinking urine is far greater than any believed health advantage.
Still, the practice has grown in popularity, and recently, it has turned associated with some anti-vax movements. The Daily Beast reported that recently, founder of anti-vax website Vaccine-Police.com Christopher Key posted a video on his Telegram account which explains that "drinking urine is the remedy to COVID-19 vaccine.

Video footage showed Key, who AL.com reported was, arrested and taken into custody in Birmingham, following an upsurge towards Jefferson County District Judge Katrina Ross, said that the vaccine against COVID-19 was "the worst bioweapon" he has ever seen, not to mention that urine therapy is its cure.
Whereas AL.com upholds that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of Key. More so, the website maintains that it has been proven that drinking urine does not have a benefit anyway; Facebook groups like Urine Magic keep on growing and continue drawing the ire of people online.
Responding to the original FB post's screenshot, numerous Redditors were furious by the shocking revelation of the parent.
In the top comment of the post that has gained thousands of posts, Redditor u/Orphylia asked the Reddit user who posted the screenshot to report the said FB post.
