Health impairments due to tropane alkaloids
Tropane alkaloids (TA) are natural ingredients of certain plants such as datura and belladonna. At harvest, contamination with these weeds may occur.
Some of these substances "are known to affect the heart rate and central nervous system even at low doses; Dizziness, headaches and nausea are typical symptoms, "writes the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in a statement.
In the past, TA was also found in other foods. For example, just a few years ago, a call for Alnatura baby food was started because traces of an alkaloid had been found in it. (Ad)
