    Author: Deinzer ML, Thomson PA, Burgett DM, Isaacson DL.
    Journal: Science; 1977 Feb 04; 195(4277):497-9. PubMed ID: 835011.
    Abstract:
    The hepatotoxic alkaloids known to occur in tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.) are also present in honey produced from the nectar of this species. These alkaloids, which inclued senecionine, seneciphylline, jacoline, jaconine, jacobine, and jacozine, are potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic and may pose health hazards to the human consumer.
