Doesn't *every* plant contain poisons?  I was susprised to find that  
parsnsips are highly carcinogenic, but it turns out the human body  
recognises kill cells that are turned cancerous by the root.

Well chocolate is my favourite nut/seed type food, and parsnips are my  
favourite vegetable.  I guess I just have a death wish.
