Better sourcing needed

I have removed the last paragraph of the history section and pulled it to here. YouTube shouldn't be the only source and I can't find anything in English about this. Anyone have a better source that I'm missing?

In July 2018, fake news propagating the benefits of overpriced cow's urine (go mutra) turned viral in India after spreading over facebook and whatsapp and getting liked by a few million people. The video falsely presented betadine as a poison and cow's urine as a "cleanser" that removed its brown colouration.^[1]^{[better source needed]} Subsequently, these claims were found to be untrue and a pretense to sell overpriced cow urine from laboratories.^{[citation needed]}

Whitening of teeth in Ancient Rome.

The Urine article states that "Urine was also used for whitening teeth in Ancient Rome" and links to this article with the internal link #Rome. If there was ever mention of this in Urine Therapy, it has now gone. 92.3.210.86 (talk) 14:48, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please mention that urine therapy is in NO way safe or is actually proven to do anything. It's been documented that its rather harmful. 122.151.223.169 (talk) 17:15, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

pretty interesting npov

it feels like one of the interesting articles where much of the real discussion is hidden in the archives .. the intro phrase "No scientific evidence exists to support any beneficial health claims of urine therapy." seems just plain wrong - written by ideology and pecuniary greed. later down it becomes even more interesting as "untreated" seems the keyword - someone like a ****** company has to extract urea for it to become really beneficial .. jokes aside i tried if for myself today as I had doubts as well - soaked my hand in fresh one for 10 minutes after having strong blue blemishes and my hand significantly improved .. I know that is non scientific - primary source material is never allowed .. the pharisees may rejoice .. Ebricca (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
