Dear Lloyd

 

Thanks for this:

 

"Despite this, the seeds are occasionally eaten after roasting, which
reduces some of the toxicity."

 

The toxicity is reduced because the heat breaks down the toxins. Now, run
that heat up to 850 C and see what is left.

 

There is confusion between the toxicity of the alkaloid compounds and the
inherent toxicity of something like mercury in fish. 

 

Regards

Crispin up the Road
