@naturereliance: Is sassafras tea actually dangerous? Sassafras contains safrole, a compound linked to cancer in animal studies. But the government’s own toxicology report contains an interesting distinction between the animal evidence and human epidemiological evidence. Presence, dose, and exposure are different things. Knowing the evidence, would YOU drink traditional sassafras tea? #Sassafras #Safrole #Toxicology #PlantScience #PlantIdentification

it's not dangerous unless your pumping it directly into the vains. that same study couldn't get any readings when they simply had the rats and mice drinking and eating it. so they injected the safrole directly into the bloodstream of the rats to get a reaction.

Saffron oil is banned because it’s a precursor used to make mdma.

The part I find most interesting is the gap between the animal evidence and the lack of safrole-specific human cancer studies. Knowing that, would you drink traditional sassafras tea?

My own thoughts, whatever they are worth, use it. Just use it and be wise about it.

I’m 67 and when I was a boy us boys would dig up the roots and boil them and add goat milk and sugar and drink it hot. I have a tradition where I drink it every Christmas to honor my neighborhood buddies that have passed on
