The bottom line. The american herbal products association has not classified goya, nor has Germany's Commission E studied it. But eating goya is definitely part of the overall dietary approach that has worked for the Okinawans. Westerners who shy away from goya or have difficulties finding it may wish to eat more vegetables from the gourd (squash) family, where goya finds its home: zucchini (summer squash), wax gourd, pumpkins, and squash. This would be in keeping with the National Cancer Institute's recommendation for five servings of veggies and fruit a day, and our ten-a-day recommendation.

On the brighter side, there are many signs that goldenseal cultivation is on the rise, according to a 1998 tonnage survey commissioned by the american herbal products association (AHPA). There are currently 140 acres of goldenseal under cultivation in North America, most of which will be harvested over the next four years. This could mean that as much as 19 percent of the goldenseal supply will come from cultivated sources during the years 1999 through 2003. Based on several large-scale agricultural plans, up to 78 percent of goldenseal may be cultivated by the year 2003.

However, a review by doctors funded by the american herbal products association found insufficient evidence that chaparral caused the incidents. • Sassafras (Sassafras albidum): Not allowed in food products in the United States because the major constituent of its volatile oil, safrole, is carcinogenic in animals. • Pennyroyal essential oil (Mentha pulegium): This potent form of pennyroyal has, unfortunately, picked up a reputation as an herbal abortifacient, a substance that could induce spontaneous expulsion of a fetus. This is not true.

In general, one should stick to the major brands and well-known suppliers. History Various species of pau d'arco have been used for a long time in Latin America as cancer treatments.

In 2000 Joseph Betz, an FDA expert on the pharmacological properties of plants, joined the american herbal products association, thereby ensuring that this organization would "continue to play a leadership role in addressing the unique challenges confronting botanical products."15 When officials of regulatory agencies go to work for industry, they are almost certain to be paid better than they were in their government jobs, and they contribute to industry the valuable expertise that they acquired at the expense of taxpayers.

The american herbal products association warns that ginkgo may interact with a class of antidepressants known as monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors in such a way as to increase the risk of seizures. Although there is only a very slight (less than 0.1 percent) probability that taking both ginkgo and one of these drugs would cause seizures, it is important to avoid taking ginkgo if you take amitripty-line (Elavil), bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban), or maproti-line (Ludiomil), or if you have used any of these drugs within the past six weeks.

Even Shakespeare mentions "the baleful mistletoe," although he may be alluding to the Balder myth.
