DESCRIPTION: Soaking and cooking poppy seeds can lower their morphine and codeine levels, but those undergoing drug testing may want to avoid them altogether.

In my research I run across reports of reactions to foods that are so rare I figure it's not worth doing a whole video about them, but then I worry that I may be missing an opportunity to help a few people. Like my videos on kombucha (Kombucha Tea Good For You?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-kombucha-tea-goodfor-you/), star fruit (Are Star Fruit Good For You?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-star-fruit-good-for-you/), nutmeg (Don't Eat Too Much Nutmeg, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dont-eat-too-much-nutmeg/) tarragon (The Safety of Tarragon, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dont-eat-too-much-nutmeg/) or grapefruit Tell Your Doctor If You Eat Grapefruit (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tell-your-doctor-if-you-eat-grapefruit).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-poppy-seeds-are-too-many/ and he'll try to answer it!
