>researchers confident that side-effects will be minimal due to the fact the compound is naturally occurring.

There are a lot of naturally occurring poisons too. I'm curious, how does the substance being naturally occurring have anything to do with the side-effects?

That's great. So my mom doesn't have to put it on her list of things to avoid because they "contain chemicals".
