Would you ever eat something that had benzalacetophenone in it?
Just curious as to what your first reaction is.

Let’s see what it is, shall we? Something in the cardboard that frozen lasagna comes in?
LOL! Nope! Read the topics Gail! ; )
Heeheee…reminds me of this.
Yeah, @Mariah! That is a classic! I thought about using Dihydrogen Monoxide but it’s too well known by now!
Assuming this is not a question on Fluther, and that I just happen to pick up a product that says it on the package. I would think, “hmm benz sounds a bit flamable, lac sounds milky, and something about a telephone… It probably wont kill me too much” and I’d eat it.
Having access to Fluther, I go on google, I look it up, I see at a glance that they say it can be beneficial in some cases, and yea would still probably eat that up.
(Why were some of my topics removed?)
@poisonedantidote It’s a naturally occurring compound in various foods, like strawberries and apples and tomatoes. It’s what makes those foods so beneficial to our health.
First reaction- no, because I don’t know what it is. Second reaction- no because I found this. Might be OK in small doses but I wouldn’t chance it.
No. As a precaution, I immerse lasagna in a Dihydrogen Monoxide and Everclear mixture for twenty four hours prior to consuming it.
@Dutchess_III Er, I suspect that will be the fate of us all . . . (eventually) . . .
@flutherother So are you saying you avoid eating strawberries, tomatoes and apples?
You might take a look at this link
“Quercetin is a bioflavonoid common to many fruits and vegetables”
Pharmacological Actions
According to Thorne Research, quercetin chalcone contributes to the maintenance of homeostasis, or metabolic equilibrium, in the walls of blood vessels, which means it may improve vascular function. It also inhibits xanthane oxidase, an enzyme involved in promoting oxidative stress. Quercetin chalcone also suppresses the release of aldose reductase, another enzyme that plays a role in the development of diabetic neuropathy. The manufacturer also claims that this agent demonstrates anti-cancer potential by inhibiting aerobic glycosis in tumor cells. In the first study investigating the anti-cancer effects of quercetin chalcone, lead researcher Adam Hayashi, M.S., reported in the Dec. 5, 2000 issue of Alternative Medicine Review that tumor growth in mice decreased in size in a dose-dependent manner.
Health Benefits
Quercetin compounds suppress inflammation by inhibiting histamine release, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. As such, preliminary research indicates that quercetin chalcone may be helpful in treating asthma, hay fever, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation of the prostate. Quercetin chalcone may also exert cardioprotective effects. However, confidence in this latter benefit is based on population studies and intake of dietary flavonoids. More research is needed to confirm any health benefits of quercetin chalcone.
My point is, just because it’s a big long, scientific word it doesn’t automatically follow that it’s bad for you. Dihydrogen Monoxide. Water. H2O
Well I’d boycott it along with digits roger monoxide.
@Dutchess_III Third reaction- I love it, if it is in strawberries, tomatoes and apples then no problem.
It is in strawberries tomatoes, apples and grapes.
@Rarebear You mean RIGER monoxide.
Wait, what, it’s good for you? Let me get back to you on that.
iPhone typos. Dihydrogen monoxide.
You dropped it in the terlit again @Rarebear!!
Okay, last time I respond on an iphone!
Ah! It’s what Archie bunker called a toilet! Guys!!!!
