Talk:Rose hip

message: I'm pretty sure that rhodomel is made with rose petals, not rose hips. Rose hip mead could be good, too, but most people mean a rose petal flavored mead when they talk about rhodomel. — λ 21:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest removing that paragraph. It seem out of place - a little specific. And it read like a chinchilla owners newsletter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfbruddah (talk • contribs) 21:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Usage - chinchillas 

message: I got rid of the flag in the second section for lacking references since there is a lone reference there. Problem is, it's the only citation in the whole article, thus I flagged the article as a whole for needing more citations. I do see alot of  flags in the aforementioned section, which begs the question: is the factual accuracy disputed and needing flagging or what? And today's 9/11 so let's all just reflect for a bit and hope for the best for the troops.

thread_title:  When does it mature? 

message: I moved thiese unsourced claims here:
*Rose hips from the dog rose have antioxidant values that far exceed other berries such as blueberries
*As an herbal remedy, rose hips are attributed with the ability to prevent urinary bladder infections, and assist in treating dizziness and headaches. Rose hips are also commonly used externally in oil form to restore firmness to skin by nourishing and astringing tissue.
*Brewed into a decoction, can also be used to treat constipation.
*Rose hips contain a lot of iron, so some women brew rose hip tea during menstruation to make up for the iron that they lose with menses.
Without sources there is no way for readers to evaluate the info. Who uses it like this, and what, if an, evidence is there that is works/doesn't work etc.YobMod 11:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This should probably be used if a more reputable citation cannot be found.  Neither the wikipedia page for Nostradamus nor the Black Plague mention this cure, though the Nostradamus page has an unreferenced claim that none of his cures were particularly effective.  Searching on google, this claim about rose hips or rose pills appears to be common, but never sourced.  Perhaps we should reference the story, without claiming that he had success in treating the disease.  JustinBlank (talk) 05:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the statement that "Rose hips contain more vitamin C then any other fruit or vegetable" as it is untrue. See  for a useful list of the highest plant sources. The winner's prize goes to the Kakadu plum. Vitaminman (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal of "Rose hips contain more vitamin C then any other fruit or vegetable" statement 

message: The following contribution from IP 67.126.129.21 is removed from the page. It needs to be reworked and incorporated into the page in wikipedia style:
:NOTE: before reading the following, be aware of this report from WebMD; http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-839-ROSE%20HIP.aspx?activeIngredientId=839&activeIngredientName=ROSE%20HIP. "However, much of the vitamin C in rose hips is destroyed during drying and processing and also declines rapidly during storage. Because of this, many rose hip-derived "natural" vitamin C products have actually been fortified with lab-made vitamin C, but their labels may not always say so."

replies: text: That would be a useful addition, thanks. The full USDA report has all available information for nutrient intake per 100 g consumed raw (as opposed to being used for tea). It has high content of dietary fiber and several essential nutrients, including beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamins E and K, and manganese. See here for a summary report. --Zefr (talk) 04:18, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
