Rhubarb, Part II

Okay, so I did a little research and found a site-- www.rhubarbinfo.com-- that explained the poison found in rhubarb. Apparently rhubarb contains an acid which, in large quantities, can make you sick or even kill you. However, the acid is mostly contained in the leaves, and even then you would have to eat a large amount, like 11 pounds, for it to actually kill you. There are also much smaller amounts of the acid in the stalks, but again you would probably have to eat 25 pounds of the stalks for it to kill you. So, don't eat the leaves and don't eat superhuman quantities of the stalks and you should be fine. And, for the record, rhubarb is a vegatble. Not a fruit.
