I understand about 1% of this but maybe this is useful information. If anyone could summarize in lay terms, that would be great. Thanks

It's just a lab/mouse study, but I don't think normal amounts of Hibiscus tea will harm you.

Important to notice that it's not the ordinary garden Hibiscus we're all accustomed to see but, as highlighted in the study:

Hibiscus sabdariffa Linne (Malvaceae, local name Roselle), an attractive plant believed to be native to Africa, is cultivated in both Sudan and Eastern Taiwan [10].

I like drinking my Roselle tea, cold, with a teaspoon of ginger plus lemon drops..
