This is a MUFA and >makes up 90% of castor oil. Great you found out this about castor oil. I can't imagins anyone to eat castor oil, it's a purgative, isn't it? The seeds it is made of are highly toxic, really deadly toxic. But the toxin is water soluble and not found in the oil. Castor oil is a secret tip for applying on the skin under the hair. To promote healthy hair (but hard to wash out then). Also very good for a oil massage. Where can we find your book? A.S.
