Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Mushrooms Hi! I've been away so I'm a tardy in my response...anyhow, according to T.C.Fry: "Isothiocyanate, which is abundant in mushroom, garlic, and horseradish, has been shown to cause chromosome aberrations in hamsters and to be carcinogenic in rats. It is especially concentrated in the seed of mustard, hence is in commonly used commercial mustards in pathogenic amounts. Refined isothiocyanate is a powerful pesticide." A guide that may work for you as far as "herbs and spices" are concerned is, if you can make a complete and satisfying meal out of it then it is a edible food. regards, joyce - Nora Lenz Monday, June 03, 2002 7:49 AM RawSeattle Re: [RawSeattle] Re: Peppercorns? thoughts on mushrooms? These seem to be always overlooked in the raw books I've read. They're overlooked deliberately, because they are not human food, imho.

While we're at it -- thoughts on mushrooms? These seem to be always overlooked in the raw books I've read. joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
