I have never heard nor read anything about dandelion root being dangerous ?

But as any diuretic you must be careful with severe dehydratation....

i'm not sure, but some pharmaceutical diuretics are dangerous in resoect that they wash out potassium from the body....i don't think dandellion does that, but not sure...might wanna check..

dandelion is high in oxalic acid which in high doses is poisonus
alittle is okay
occasionally not bad
nothing to make a regular meal off

BFA, if it helps, I'm looking at my Dandelion root bottle right now. 2 capsules have 1.03g and the directions say to take 2 caps 3 caps per day. Now, is 3g crossing the line? I don't think so, that's prob a safe number to cover their asses from getting sued. I'd venture to say 4-5g but I don't know, maybe more, possibly 3g should be the limit
