| 339251 | 2005-03-31 09:35:00 | Well excuse me but I'm very disappointed with this thread which has gone wildly off-topic . Indeed, this is a very dangerous area . :eek: Read on, you all need to know this: Rhubarb contains oxalate, which have been reported to cause poisoning when large quantities of raw or cooked leaves are ingested . 13 . 1 - The poison in rhubarb Oxalates are contained in all parts of rhubarb plants, especially in the green leaves . There is some evidence that anthraquinone glycosides are also present and may be partly responsible . It is not clear as to the exact source of poisoning from rhubarb, possibly a result of both compounds . The stalks contain low levels of oxalates, so this does not cause problems . 13 . 2 - Chemical Composition of Rhubarb Water 91 . 2 - 96 . 1 % Solids, total 4 . 0 - 8 . 48 % Solids, soluble 2 . 1 - 3 . 0 % Sugars 0 . 3 - 2 . 3 % Nitrogen, total 0 . 127 - 0 . 211 % Proteins 0 . 6 Fats traces - 0 . 7 % Pectins (Ca-pectate) 0 . 11 - 0 . 77 % Tannins 0 . 058 - 0 . 110 % Fiber, Crude 1 . 1 - 1 . 2 Carotenes 1 . 2 ug/100g Ash 0 . 62 - 1 . 23 % Acids Malic 0 . 73 - 2 . 15 % Oxalic acid 0 . 124 - 1 . 360 % Citric acid 0 . 07 - 0 . 18 g/100g Acetic acid 0 . 02 - 0 . 16 g/100g Fumaric acid 0 . 01 - 0 . 10 g/100g Glucolic acid 0 . 01 g/100ml Succinic acid 0 . 02 g/100ml pH 3 . 01 - 3 . 59 Ash constituents mg/100g K 212-425 Na 2 . 2 Ca 44 - 103 Mg 13 . 6 Fe 0 . 40 - 0 . 80 Cu 0 . 13 - 0 . 50 P 21 . 0 - 31 . 0 S 8 . 2 Cl 87 Vitamins A1 30 - 100 I . U . B1 0 . 2 ug/100g B2 0 . 06 - 0 . 3 ug/100g C 7 - 34 mg/100g During World War I rhubarb leaves were recommended as a substitute for other veggies that the war made unavailable . Apparently there were cases of acute poisoning and even some deaths . Some animals, including goats and swine, have also been poisoned by ingesting the leaves . 21,37 The biodynamic (toxicity) mechanism by which oxalic acid works is somewhat different from organic poisons and is more analogous to heavy metal poisoning . Organic poisons often work through at the biochemical level, e . g . cyanide by interfering with respiration at the cellular level, strychnine by screwing up intersynaptic transmission . There are many molecular substances in foods which offer no nutritional benefit, and must be processed and excreted . Oxalic acid, for example, is excreted in the urine, and its crystals are commonly found in microscopic urinalysis . Too much oxalic acid in the urine will result in kidney or bladder stones . Calcium combines with oxalic acid to form the less soluble salt, calcium oxalate, which is also found in kidney stones . Plant leaves, especially rhubarb, cabbage, spinach, and beet tops, contain oxalic acid . Oxalic acid is also found in potatoes and peas . Vitamin C is metabolized to oxalic acid; it contributes to over-saturation of the urine with crystals and possibly to stone formation . |
