Patients often have an accompanying anxiety disorder (such as obsessive compulsive disorder) or depression. Patients with anorexia and depression have a high risk for suicide. Complications of Bulimia Nervosa. Many medical problems are directly associated with bulimic behavior, including: Tooth erosion, cavities, and gum problems. Water retention, swelling, and abdominal bloating. Low potassium levels. Irregular menstrual periods. Swallowing problems and esophagus damage. Drug and alcohol abuse. Complications of Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia nervosa can increase the risk for serious health problems such as: Hormonal changes including reproductive, thyroid, stress, and growth hormones. Heart problems such as abnormal heart rhythm. Electrolyte imbalance. Fertility problems. Bone density loss. Anemia. Neurological problems. Treatment of Bulimia Nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Cognitive- behavioral therapy, which is given along with nutritional counseling, is the preferred psychotherapeutic approach. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (Prozac, generic), are the first choice for drug therapy. Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa. Unlike bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa does not respond well to drug treatment, although SSRIs are sometimes used as an adjunct to psychotherapy. Nutritional rehabilitation therapy, which may include the entire family, is an important part of the treatment process. Patients who are severely underweight and who have other physical risks may need to be hospitalized while weight is restored. Introduction. Eating disorders are psychological problems marked by an obsession with food and weight. There are four general categories of eating disorders: Bulimia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa. Binge eating. Eating disorders not otherwise specified. Bulimia Nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is more common than anorexia, and it usually begins early in adolescence. It is characterized by cycles of bingeing and purging, and typically takes the following pattern: Bulimia is often triggered when young women attempt restrictive diets, fail, and react by binge eating. Binge eating involves consuming larger than normal amounts of food within a 2- hour period. In response to the binges, patients compensate, usually by purging, vomiting, using enemas, or taking laxatives, diet pills, or drugs to reduce fluids. Patients then revert to severe dieting, excessive exercise, or both. Some patients with bulimia follow bingeing only with fasting and exercise. They are then considered to have non- purging bulimia. The cycle then swings back to bingeing and then to purging again. To be diagnosed with bulimia, a patient must binge and purge at least twice a week for 3 months. In some cases, the condition progresses to anorexia. Most people with bulimia, however, have a normal to high- normal body weight, although it may fluctuate by more than 1. Anorexia Nervosa. The term . Anorexia can be associated with medical conditions or medications that cause a loss of appetite. Anorexia nervosa involves a psychological aversion to food that leads to a state of starvation and emaciation. In anorexia nervosa: At least 1. The patient with anorexia nervosa has an intense fear of gaining weight, even when severely underweight. Individuals with anorexia nervosa have a distorted image of their own weight or body shape and deny the serious health consequences of their low weight. Patients with this condition are often characterized as anorexia restrictors or anorexic bulimic. Each type is equally common. Anorexia restrictors reduce their weight by severe dieting. Anorexic bulimic patients maintain emaciation by purging. Although both types are serious, the bulimic type, which imposes additional stress on an undernourished body, is the more damaging. Binge Eating (Binge Eating Disorder)Bingeing without purging is characterized as compulsive overeating (binge eating) with the absence of bulimic behaviors, such as vomiting or laxative abuse (used to eliminate calories). Binge eating usually leads to becoming overweight. To be diagnosed as a binge eater, a patient typically: Consumes 5,0. Eats three meals a day plus frequent snacks. Overeats continually throughout the day, rather than simply consuming large amounts of food during binges. Treatment for binge eating is usually similar to treatment for bulimia. Since binge eating is often associated with obesity, it may also require weight and dietary management. This category includes: Infrequent binge- purge episodes (occurring less than twice a week or having such behavior for less than months)Repeated chewing and spitting without swallowing large amounts of food. Normal weight and anorexic behavior. Such patients tend to be older at diagnosis. Although less serious than other eating disorders, these patients still face similar health problems, including a higher risk for fractures. Causes. There is no single cause for eating disorders. Although concerns about weight and body shape play a role in all eating disorders, the actual cause of these disorders appears to involve many factors, including those that are genetic and neurobiological, cultural and social, and behavioral and psychological. Although much has been written about the roles of families and parenting as causes of eating disorders, there is no solid evidence supporting this claim. Genetic Factors. Anorexia is eight times more common in people who have relatives with the disorder. Studies of twins show they have a tendency to share specific eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and obesity). Researchers have identified specific chromosomes that may be associated with bulimia and anorexia. Biologic Factors. The body’s hypothalamic- pituitary- adrenal axis (HPA) may be important in eating disorders. This complex system originates in the following regions in the brain: Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a small structure that plays a role in controlling behaviors such as eating, sexual behavior, and sleeping, and regulates body temperature, hunger and thirst, and secretion of hormones. Pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is involved in controlling thyroid functions, the adrenal glands, growth, and sexual maturation. Amygdala. This small almond- shaped structure lies deep in the brain and is associated with regulation and control of major emotional activities including anxiety, depression, aggression, and affection. The HPA system releases certain neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain) that regulate stress, mood, and appetite. Abnormalities in the activities of three of them, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, may play a particularly important role in eating disorders. Serotonin is involved with well- being, anxiety, and appetite (among other traits), and norepinephrine is a stress hormone. Dopamine is involved in reward- seeking behavior. Imbalances with serotonin and dopamine may explain in part why people with anorexia do not experience a sense of pleasure from food and other typical comforts. Cultural Pressures. The media plays a role in promoting unrealistic expectations for body image and a distorted cultural drive for thinness. At the same time, cheap and high- caloric foods are aggressively marketed. Such messages are contradictory and confusing. Risk Factors. In the United States, about 7 million females and 1 million males suffer from eating disorders. Age. Eating disorders occur most often in adolescents and young adults. They are also becoming increasingly prevalent among young children. Eating disorders are more difficult to identify in young children because they are less commonly suspected. Gender. Eating disorders occur predominantly among girls and women. About 9. 0 - 9. 5% of patients with anorexia nervosa, and about 8. Race and Ethnicity. Most studies of individuals with eating disorders have focused on Caucasian middle- class females. However, eating disorders can affect people of all races and socioeconomic levels. Personality Disorders. People with eating disorders tend to share similar personality and behavioral traits including low self- esteem, dependency, and problems with self- direction. Specific psychiatric personality disorders may put people at higher risk for eating disorders. Avoidant Personality Disorder. Some studies indicate that many patients with anorexia nervosa have avoidant personalities. This personality disorder is characterized by: Being a perfectionist. Being emotionally and sexually inhibited. Wanting to be perceived as always being . Obsessive- compulsive personality disorder defines certain character traits (being a perfectionist, morally rigid, or preoccupied with rules and order). This personality disorder is strongly associated with a higher risk for anorexia. These traits should not be confused with the anxiety disorder called obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), although they may increase the risk for this disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with self- destructive and impulsive behaviors. People with BPD tend to have other co- existing mental health problems, including eating disorders. Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People with narcissistic personalities tend to: Have an inability to soothe oneself. Have an inability to empathize with others. Have a need for admiration. Be hypersensitive to criticism or defeat. Accompanying Mental Health Disorders. Many patients with eating disorders experience depression and anxiety disorders. It is not clear if these disorders, particularly obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), cause the eating disorders, increase susceptibility to them, or share common biologic causes. Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Liver Function Tests - Elevated Liver Enzymes. Liver function tests are laboratory blood tests meant to show details about the condition of the patient's liver. Tests may be associated with functionality, cellulary integrity, or biliary tract condition. In many cases, liver disease is initially without symptoms (asymptomatic) or presents nothing more than mild symptoms. Even so, it is often important that the conditions be diagnosed in their early stages. Therefore, liver function tests may be helpful in early detection of liver disease. Some tests may include. Albumin (Alb) - Albumin is a protein made by the liver. It may be decreased in certain instances of chronic liver disease (cirrhosis, etc.), nephrotic syndrome, and poor nutrition. Having low albumin is a condition known as hypoalbuminemia. When hepatocytes (liver cells) are damaged, this enzyme is leaked into the blood. It is also known as serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or alanine aminotransferase (ALAT). AST to ALT ratio is at times used to differentiate the underlying cause of liver damage. It is also known as serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) - ALP plasma levels may be raised in infiltrative liver diseases, intrahepatic cholestasis, or large bile duct obstruction. However, it is also elevated in growing children, and in Paget's disease patients amongst the elderly. If the direct bilirubin is normal, then upstream bilirubin excretion is problematic (cirrhosis, hemolysis, viral hepatitis, etc). If however the direct bilirubin is elevated, then bilirubin conjugation is normal, but excretion is not happening properly (cancer, gallstones, etc). In particular, it is raised with alcohol toxicity. Increased total bilirubin may lead to jaundice. Otherwise, you can keep reading about specific aspects: symptoms, causes, or treatment options.

Could eating a diet based on your blood type - - O, A, B, or AB - - help you trim down and get healthier? That's the idea behind the Blood Type Diet, created by naturopath Peter J. D'Adamo. D'Adamo claims that the foods you eat react chemically with your blood type. If you follow a diet designed for your blood type, your body will digest food more efficiently. You'll lose weight, have more energy, and help prevent disease. What You Can Eat. That depends on your blood type. Here's what D'Adamo recommends for each type: Type O blood: A high- protein diet heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy. D'Adamo also recommends various supplements to help with tummy troubles and other issues he says people with type O tend to have. Type A blood: A meat- free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains - - ideally, organic and fresh, because D'Adamo says people with type A blood have a sensitive immune system. Type B blood: Avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic, D'Adamo says. The “eat right for your type” diet, also known as the blood type diet, advises people to eat certain foods based on their blood type: A, B, AB, or O. As someone with type O blood, you're an inherent meat eater, according to D'Adamo. You thrive best on animal protein from meat. The 'Blood Type Diet:' Fact or Fiction? Edward Blonz, Ph.D. Book review of Eat Right 4 Your Type (1996) by Peter J. Diet for O Positive Blood Type. Blood group O is considered to be the oldest and the most common of all blood types. The following article provides information about. Diet blood group O: carnivores; Blood type O good and bad foods for your blood group; Group type O: Good and bad foods for your blood group; Diet for blood group A. The Promise. Could eating a diet based on your blood type-- O, A, B, or AB -- help you trim down and get healthier? That's the idea behind the Blood Type Diet. He encourages eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meats, and low- fat dairy. Type AB blood: Foods to focus on include tofu, seafood, dairy, and green vegetables. He says people with type AB blood tend to have low stomach acid. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoked or cured meats. Level of Effort: High. If you don't already know your blood type, you'll need to find that out. The results will determine exactly what you need to do. Limitations: Depending on your blood type, you may need to severely restrict the foods you eat. Cooking and shopping: Your blood type will determine your shopping list and your choices when eating out. Packaged foods or meals? None required. In- person meetings? No. Exercise: The Blood Type Diet recommends exercises based on your blood type. For instance, it suggests yoga or tai chi for type A’s, and vigorous aerobic exercises like jogging or biking for up to an hour a day for type O’s. Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences? Because the diet dictates that you eat very specific types of food based on your blood type, it doesn't allow much for personal tastes. For example, if you're a big fan of meat and potatoes, you won't be very happy on the type A diet, which is mostly vegetarian. There are even recommendations about the types of spices and condiments you can use. If you're looking for a diet that's gluten- free, you should know that this diet doesn't ban gluten. You may be able to make choices that are gluten- free, if you read food labels carefully. What Else You Should Know. Cost: D'Adamo recommends a lot of specialty and organic foods (such as soy milk and carob chip cookies), which can be pricey. Vitamin and herbal supplements are also part of the diet. Support: You do this diet on your own. What Dr. Melinda Ratini Says: Does It Work? One study found that adults eating the type A diet showed improved health markers, but this occurred in everyone, not just those with type A blood type. In 2. 01. 3, a major review concluded that no evidence exists to support benefits of blood type diets. It's likely that you would lose weight, though, because the diet can be very restrictive. Is It Good for Certain Conditions? The Blood Type Diet makes recommendations based solely on your blood type. So, if you have a chronic condition (say, diabetes), you may be told to eat high protein, while another person with diabetes may have to avoid dairy or chicken. This may conflict with your diabetes treatment plan. The American Diabetes Association recommends a more practical approach to your day- to- day eating. It also cautions against focusing on specific foods. In most cases it doesn't recommend cutting out any major food groups. The Blood Type Diet also fails to address other conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or cholesterol. Any needed weight loss is sure to have a positive impact on these conditions. But no matter your blood type, you should follow the same guidelines issued by The American Heart Association (AHA) for a low- fat and low- salt diet. Also, everyone should aim for 1. The Final Word. On The Blood Type Diet, you’ll avoid processed food and simple carbs. That may be enough to help you lose some weight. But any weight loss on this diet has not been linked to your blood type. There’s also no research proving that this diet can aid in digestion or give you more energy. Although you'll buy and prepare your own foods on this plan, your choices are limited depending on your blood type. So be prepared to spend some time in the kitchen. The diet may quickly become expensive, too, since the author recommends you buy organics as well as his own line of supplements. If the Blood Type Diet intrigues you, consider this: The science is stacked behind traditional recommendations for healthy eating for weight loss - - not restrictions based on the type of your blood. Foods that Cause Hypothyroidism - Diagnosis: Diet. Is your diet working against your thyroid gland? Find out which foods interfere with healthy thyroid function and how to minimize your risk. HYPOTHYROIDISM 1. Thyroid hormone tells all of the cells in your body how busy they should be. Too much thyroid hormone (hyp. ERthyroidism), and your body goes into overdrive; not enough thyroid hormone (hyp. Othyroidism), and your body slows down. More than 2 billion people around the world suffer from hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency. In areas of endemic iodine deficiency, where soil and therefore crops and grazing animals do not provide sufficient dietary iodine to the populace, food fortification and supplementation have proven highly successful and sustainable interventions.” . I assume they are getting enough iodine because if they weren’t, they would all be born brain- damaged runts, and many would be infertile if they survived to adulthood. As a result, approximately 7. North and South America to less than 5. A low iodine diet is prescribed before radioactive iodine (RAI) scans and radioactive iodine treatments. It is a special diet that limits the amount of iodine that is. Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean regions. Flaxseeds also contain linamarin. Cyanide is very toxic, so the human body converts it into thiocyanate (which, although it does interfere with thyroid function, is less toxic than cyanide and easier for the body to eliminate). Thiocyanates easily cross the placenta and can cause thyroid dysfunction in newborns, especially if the infant is not getting enough iodine. Cooking, soaking, and fermentation can reduce cyanide and thiocyanate levels in these foods. For more information about cyanide in foods: http: //www. T0. 20. 7E0. 8. htm. FLAVONOIDS Flavonoids are a large family of related plant compounds; at least 3,0. Soy Flavonoids (genistein, daidzein) Soy flavonoids are perhaps better known as “soy isoflavones”, which we are usually told are good for us. In humans, goiter has been seen in infants fed soy formula; this is usually reversed by changing to cow milk or iodine- supplemented diets . After the 1. 96. 0s, manufacturers reportedly began adding iodine to formulas to mitigate thyroid effects.” . Iodine supplements can also cause: Upset stomach; Stomach pain; Headache; Runny nose; Diarrhea; Metallic taste in the mouth; Risks. Don't use an iodine.

Hypothyroidism refers to any state in which a person's thyroid hormone production is below normal. There are many disorders that result in hypothyroidism, for example. Your doctor may suggest a low-iodine diet if you have thyroid cancer or before a medical. GENERIC NAME: IODINE, STRONG - ORAL (EYE-oh-dine) Medication Uses Low iodine diets are often prescribed as part of thyroid treatments, or prior to testing for thyroid conditions. A low iodine diet is also. However, hypothyroid adults need not avoid soy foods. In addition, there remains a theoretical concern based on in vitro and animal data that in individuals with compromised thyroid function and/or whose iodine intake is marginal, soy foods may increase risk of developing clinical hypothyroidism. Therefore, it is important for soy food consumers to make sure their intake of iodine is adequate.” . But take a look at this interesting clinical study . Excess iodine interferes with the release of thyroid hormone into the bloodstream and can cause goiter and hypothyroidism.“Excess iodine is generally well tolerated, but individuals with underlying thyroid disease or other risk factors may be susceptible to iodine- induced thyroid dysfunction following acute or chronic exposure. Sources of increased iodine exposure include the global public health efforts of iodine supplementation, the escalating use of iodinated contrast radiologic studies, amiodarone administration in vulnerable patients .

This. inevitably led to the disappearance of . If the difference between organic and inorganic compounds isn't the presence of some. Most compounds extracted from living organisms contain. It is therefore tempting to identify organic chemistry as the chemistry of carbon. Even though organic chemistry focuses on compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The special role of carbon in the chemistry of the elements is. The Physical Properties of Carbon Electronic configuration 1s. Electronegativity 2. Covalent radius 0. Carbon has four valence electrons 2s. The. electronegativity of carbon is too small for carbon to gain electrons from most elements. C4- ions, and too large for carbon to lose electrons to form C4+. Carbon therefore forms covalent bonds with a large number of other elements. Because they are relatively small, carbon atoms can come close enough together to form. C=C double bonds or even CC. Carbon also forms strong double and triple bonds to nitrogen and oxygen. It. can even form double bonds to elements such as phosphorus or sulfur that do not form. Several years ago, the unmanned Viking spacecraft carried out experiments designed to. Mars. These experiments were based on the assumption that. Several factors make carbon. No other element can provide the variety of combinations and permutations necessary for. Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. The simplest alkane is methane: CH4. The Lewis structure of methane can be. Methane is an example of a general rule that carbon is tetravalent; it. To minimize the repulsion. CH. bonds, the geometry around the carbon atom is tetrahedral, as shown in the figure below. The alkane that contains three carbon atoms is known as propane, which has the formula. C3.

When a more. highly branched isomer was discovered, it was named neopentane (the new isomer of. Ball- and- stick models of the three isomers of pentane are shown in the figure below. There are two constitutional isomers with the formula C4. H1. 0. three isomers of C5. H1. 2, and five isomers of C6. H1. 4. There. are over 4 billion isomers for C3. H6. 2, for example. If the carbon chain that forms the backbone of a straight- chain hydrocarbon is long. Cycloalkanes. therefore have two less hydrogen atoms than the parent alkane and a generic formula of Cn. H2n. The angle between adjacent CC bonds is only 6. Cyclopropane is therefore susceptible to chemical reactions that can open up the. Any attempt to force the four carbons that form a cyclobutane ring into a plane of. CC bonds would be 9. One of the four carbon atoms in the cyclobutane ring is therefore displaced from the. The angle between adjacent CC bonds in. Cyclopentane is not a planar molecule, as shown in the figure. By the time we get to the six- membered ring in cyclohexane, a puckered structure can be. One of these carbon atoms is tilted up, out of the. As one looks at the structure of the ethane molecule, it is easy to fall into the trap. Nothing could be further from the. At room temperature, the average velocity of an ethane molecule is about 5. Boeing 7. 47. At the same time, the CH and CC bonds are vibrating. There is another way in which the ethane molecule can move. The CH3 groups. at either end of the molecule can rotate with respect to each around the CC bond. When this happens, the molecule passes. The highest energy conformation corresponds to a structure in which the hydrogen. The lowest energy conformation is a structure in which the hydrogen atoms are. The difference between the eclipsed and staggered conformations of ethane are best. CC bond, as shown in the figure below. The difference between the energies of these conformations is relatively.

As a result, even though the rate at which these two conformations interchange is. Common names such as pentane, isopentane, and neopentane are sufficient to. C5. H1. 2. They. become less useful, however, as the size of the hydrocarbon chain increases. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has developed a. Name the. compound as a derivative of the alkane with this number of carbon atoms. The following. compound, for example, is a derivative of pentane because the longest chain contains five. Name the substituents on the chain. Substituents derived from alkanes are named by. This compound contains a methyl (CH3- ). Number the chain starting at the end nearest the first substituent and specify the. Use the lowest possible numbers. This. compound, for example, is 2- methylpentane, not 4- methylpentane. Use the prefixes di- , tri- , and tetra- to describe. Arrange the names of the substituents in alphabetical order. Carbon not only forms the strong CC. C=C double bonds. Compounds that. contain C=C double bonds were once known as olefins (literally, . The simplest alkene has. C2. H4 and the following Lewis structure. The relationship between alkanes and alkenes can be understood by. We start by breaking the bond in an H2. We do the same. thing to one of the bonds between the carbon atoms in an alkene. We then allow the. CH bond. Thus, in theory, we can transform an alkene into the parent alkane by adding an H2. C=C double bond. In practice, this reaction only occurs at high. Because an alkene can be thought of as a derivative of an alkane from which an H2. C=C double bond is Cn. H2n. They were once named by adding the.

It is a herbaceous perennial growing from short, thick rhizomes. It produces large poisonous leaves that are somewhat triangular, with long fleshy edible stalks and small flowers grouped in large compound leafy greenish- white to rose- redinflorescences. In culinary use, fresh raw leaf stalks (petioles) are crisp (similar to celery, although they do not share the same family) with a strong, tart taste. Although rhubarb is not a true fruit, in the kitchen it is usually prepared as if it were. A number of varieties have been domesticated for human consumption, most of which are recognised as Rheum x hybridum by the Royal Horticultural Society. Rhubarb contains anthraquinones including rhein, and emodin and their glycosides (e. It is hence useful as a cathartic in case of constipation. Rhubarb grown in hothouses (heated greenhouses) is called . Hothouse rhubarb is usually brighter red, more tender and sweeter- tasting than outdoors rhubarb. In the northwestern US states of Oregon and Washington, there are typically two harvests, from late April to May and from late June into July. Rhubarb thrives in areas of direct sunlight and can successfully be planted in containers if they are large enough to accommodate a season's growth. Rhubarb damaged by severe cold should not be eaten, as it may be high in oxalic acid, which migrates from the leaves and can cause illness. Rhubarb stalks are poetically described as . The color results from the presence of anthocyanins, and varies according to both rhubarb variety and production technique. The color is not related to its suitability for cooking. During Islamic times, it was imported along the Silk Road, reaching Europe in the 1. Aleppo and Smyrna, where it became known as . It was several times the price of other valuable herbs and spices such as cinnamon, opium, and saffron. The merchant explorer Marco Polo therefore searched for the place where the plant was grown and harvested, discovering that it was cultivated in the mountains of Tangut province. These were unsuccessful in producing rhubarb root with the necessary medicinal qualities, but the variety then grown in Russia became the ancestor of the common modern rhubarb. The availability of this . The use of rhubarb stalks as food is a relatively recent innovation. This usage was first recorded in 1. England after affordable sugar became available to common people, and reached a peak between the 2. Commonly, it is stewed with sugar or used in pies and desserts, but it can also be put into savory dishes or pickled. Rhubarb can be dehydrated and infused with fruit juice. In most cases, it is infused with strawberry juice to mimic the popular strawberry rhubarb pie. Rhubarb root produces a rich brown dye similar to walnut husks. It is used in northern regions where walnut trees do not survive. Rhubarb leaves can be used in honey bee colonies as a mild Varroa- cide, either as crushed leaves or in the form of a tea. Rhubarb tea soaked paper towels/shop towels or crushed leaves are placed above the broodnest. Worker bees immediately begin removing this foreign substance, exposing the colony to oxalic acid in the process. Oxalic acid is toxic to Varroa mites, and mite drops increase while these rhubarb remedies are on the hive. For cooking, the stalks are often cut into small pieces and stewed (boiled in water) with added sugar, until soft. Little water is added, as rhubarb stalks already contain a great deal of water. Rhubarb should be processed and stored in containers which are unaffected by residual acid content, such as glass or stainless steel. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are sometimes added. Stewed rhubarb or rhubarb sauce, like applesauce, is usually eaten cold. Pectin, or sugar with pectin, can be added to the mixture to make jams. A similar preparation, thickened with cornstarch or flour, is used as filling for rhubarb pie, tarts, and crumbles, leading to the nickname . It is still eaten this way in western Finland, Norway, Iceland and Sweden, and also some other parts of the world. In Chile, Chilean rhubarb, which is only very distantly related, is sold on the street with salt or dried chili pepper, not sugar. Rhubarb can be used to make a fruit wine or sima. It is also used to make compote. The pigment also slowed the growth of other human cancer cells in mouse models. A more- potent derivative of the parietin called S3 may even cut the growth of lung cancer cells implanted in mice by two- thirds, over the course of 1. The anthraquinone compounds have been separated from powdered rhubarb root for medicinal purposes. In 2. 01. 4 a Harvard- based team of scientists published results. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting the leaves, a particular problem during World War I when the leaves were mistakenly recommended as a food source in Britain. Oxalic acid can also be found in the stalks of rhubarb, but the levels are too low to cause any bodily harm. The LD5. 0 (median lethal dose) for pure oxalic acid in rats is about 3. Other sources give a much higher oral LDLo (lowest published lethal dose) of 6. Cooking the leaves with soda can make them more poisonous by producing soluble oxalates. Rhubarb is a host, damage being visible mainly on the leaves and stalks, with gummosis, and oval or circular feeding and/or egg- laying sites.
