Avoid sarsaparilla

Hemidesmus indicus

USA FDA has banned safrole, the oil from sassafras root; those who took large doses of safrole developed permanent liver damage or various types of cancer. In humans, liver damage can take years to develop and it may not have obvious signs. Along with commercially available sarsaparilla, sassafras remains an ingredient in use among hobby or microbrew enthusiasts. It is a known carcinogen. Now most sarsaparilla is an imitation flavoring. Avoid detrimental for PKD/PLD.
