If you’ve been anywhere near Instagram lately, then you’ve seen the many glasses of glowing green #celeryjuice—and the equally glowing claims about its purported myriad health benefits. Kim Kardashian reportedly sips it for her psoriasis, while Jenna Dewan posted that she's hoping to get some anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, gut health-enhancing benefits from the concoction.

It’s being raved about on social media as a cure-all for Crohn’s, colitis, IBS, digestion, bloating, acne, high cholesterol, inflammation, liver health, and high blood pressure. As if that’s not enough to set off your B.S. meter, it’s even being touted as a treatment for addiction and mental illness.

But, can any of this be true? We looked into the existing research on this topic and spoke with a few dietitians to help us go through what the science does and doesn't tell us about celery juice and your health.

Let’s just admit that the idea of finding a single cure for all your health woes is really enticing.

Yeah, it would be awesome if a single food or drink could guarantee wellness—and we have a history of being susceptible to this kind of wishful thinking. “People just want one food to magically be it—this one thing they can do that will make all the difference in their health,” Lisa Young, R.D.N., C.D.N., Ph.D., adjunct professor of nutrition at NYU and author of Finally Full, Finally Slim, tells SELF.

We've certainly been here before. Kale, lemon water, collagen powder, beet juice, spirulina, goji berries, chia seeds, etc. “There’s always a flavor of the moment that people latch onto,” Young says. “Celery just happens to be it at the moment.”

But when any one food is surrounded by so many different bold health claims, skepticism is warranted.

In the case of celery juice, the claims are grand—but the research is pretty much nonexistent, experts agree. “There’s no magic to it. The science is not there,” Young says.

“There might be pretty pictures on Instagram,” Keri Gans, R.D.N., C.D.N., nutrition consultant and author of The Small Change Diet, tells SELF. “But the assumptions about what celery juice can do are not being supported by sound conclusive evidence by the scientific community.”

Kim Larson, R.D.N., dietitian and health coach from Total Health in Seattle, tells SELF the same thing: “There is no current scientific research to support the trendy claims,” she says.

So we did our due diligence and scoured the research databases ourselves—and came up nearly empty. What we did find is a paltry handful of small papers. For a 2009 study published in Molecule, researchers in Serbia gave rats chemotherapy drugs and the juice of celery leaves (but not the roots) to see if it had any protective effect against side effects during treatment; the juice appeared to decrease the intensity of one of the oxidative stress markers they measured. And a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2014 found that supplements of apigenin, a flavonoid found in celery, may have helped slow the progression of gastritis and gastric cancer—in gerbils, that is.

There is one human pilot study, published in the Natural Medicine Journal in 2013, in which 30 patients with mild to moderate hypertension took daily celery extract supplements (not juice) for six weeks. After that time, the researchers saw a statistically significant decrease in participants' blood pressure. However, there was no control group—and the chief authors of the study were managing partners at the company that made the extract (so, not exactly neutral parties).
