Compositions
#1: Daidzein in seeds #2: anhydrosecoisolariciresinol and secoisolariciresinol in seeds #3: Biochanin A in seeds #4: Coumestrol in seeds #5: Formononetin in seeds #6: Traces of matairesinol in seeds #7: Genistein in seeds #8: Phytic acid in seeds #9: cyanogenic glycosides in mature leaves #10: cyanogenic glycosides in immature seeds #11: cyanogenic glycosides in immature leaves #12: Hydrocyanic acid in seeds (beans) #13: lotaustralin in seeds #14: linamarin in seeds
Endpoint Studies
#1: Death roughly 10 hours after ingestion of beans #2: Growth inhibiting action in rats, but their ingestion is not lethal. Trypsin inhibition is not toxic, but digestibility is low #3: Intake of raw seeds causes acute gastroenteritis with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain in infants and adults.
