Does anyone have family information on mustard/brassicas?
Thanks!

Re: Brassicas?
Don't know if this is helpful- Am sending it also privately asI
still don't think I can post directly from O E and it is a pain to
go to the Yahoo website!! Hope something here is useful!!

Seed Oil
The name Brassica is derived from the Latin word "Rupum," meaning
turnip. It is related to mustard, cabbage, and cale. Oil seed rape
has indefinite origins but are cited (Scarisbrick and Daniels, 1986)
as being most likely Eurasion. There is some evidence to suggest
that it was used in oil lamps as far back as 2000 B.C. in India ,
China, and Japan. It seems that European cultivatiion began in the
13th century. Rape oil was the most important lamp oil in Northern
Europe in the Middle Ages. From the 19th century onward, its use
declined due to colonial imports of other oil seeds and the use of
fossil fuels (mineral iol) to replace it in lighting and
lubrication. The decline continued until the 1940s, since which time
its increased cutivation has been prolitic. In 1986 it was the third
most widely grown arable crop (after wheat and barley) in England.
It has received heavy subsides from the EEC to get to this point, it
is relatively cheap to produce, has a high yield, and grows in many
diverse conditions.
Other special features of the plant are the high erucic acid
content, which makes it very water repellent, and the high
glucosinolate content of the meal fed to cattle. Both these features
have led people to question its use as a food. About 20 years ago,
the high erucic acid level was deemed carcinogenic, and it was
banned as a food stuff for humans in the U.S.A/ and Europe until new
strains were bred with low erucic acid. The high glucosinalate
content has been said to have a bad effect on monogastric animals,
therefore it is mainly fed to cows. It is perhaps ironic then that
approximately 80 percent of the oil seed crop is used to produce
cooking oils and margarines.
It produces its vivid yellow flowers in May/June, then turns dry and
brown. When it is crushed, it gives off very heavy toxic fumes of
sulphur compounds.(JohnSeaton Refiners,Hull) Brassica mapus is
derived from Campestris and is very close botanically.
There has been a lot of interest in Brassica's relationship to hay
fever and asthma in recent years, and indeed it is used
isopathically in this way at the moment. The purpose of the proving
this time is to begin to establish the more characteristics and
specific properties of the substance or, in Hahnemann's words. Its
inner, highly distinctive properties (Par.119a).

Toxicology
Oil seed rape (Brassica napus) is regareded as a profitable crop
with many potential uses. These include industrial lubricants,
printing inks, replacement for diesel oil in tractors, the cosmetics
industry, and as a culture medium in the pharmaceutical industry.
Its most common use is in the production of edible oils for cooking
and in margarine.
Clarke's dictionary of materia medica Pura has a summary of toxic
effects" ...derived from the experience of the Irish famine, during
which people ate freely."
The toxic effects of this plant and its derivatives were forcefully
experienced in May 1981 when a previously unknown epidemic disease
appeared in Spain.
It was characterized predominately by noncardiac pulmonary edema,
skin rash, myalgia, eosinphilia, joint contractures, scleroderma,
sicca syndrome, polyneuropathy and pulmonary hypertension.
Within a few months, 19,748 people developed the disease and 457
died. The epidemic outbreak was related to the intake of cooking oil
sold in bulk. O nce the toxic oil was withdrawn from the market,
there was a significant reduction in the occurance of the disease.
The disorder was therefore known as tha Toxic Oil Syndrome.
Much research has been done on various aspects of the plant,
including its physiological and biochemical propitious. However more
relevant to this report is the plethora of research that surrounds
the toxic oil syndrome.
The most comprehensive references from the literature search we did
were the following: "Toxic Oil Syndrome: A long-Term Follow-up" by
Alonso-Ruiz,et al., in the journal of medicine (USA) And "Who
meeting Report on Toxic Oil Syndrome" by R. Philen qouted in
seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism (USA)
