What is the toxin?

The difference between something benign or benefitial, is the doseage. Too much water will kill. Other toxins, are generally harmless to humans, like DDT. You can eat that stuff (tastes nasty, but non-lethal).

I wish they’d identify the particular toxin or chemical that is proving harmful to humans (if it is). There are many substances that naturally occur in vegetables used by humans for food which in some measure protect these same vegetables from insects and other pests while they are growing. If this is more of the same, borrowing a “toxin” from, say, onions for use in, say, broccoli, there shouldn’t be any reason to complain about it (except maybe allergies).

Words of sanity. It depends on the levels. I REALLY wish those had been published. That and the actual toxin.

That said, it is a bit disconcerting.
