	Cancer Center - Complementary and Alternative Therapies
		Chaparral contains a compound called nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) that acts as a powerful antioxidant. Theoretically, NDGA is thought to stop tumors by preventing cancer cells from breaking down glucose to produce energy needed for cellular growth.
		Human studies were not successful and concerns about NDGA's toxicity increased after lesions on the kidneys and lymph nodes of animals were found. As a result, the FDA removed from it’s "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) list in 1968.
		Chaparral is toxic to liver. Between 1992 and 1994, the FDA received eighteen reports of chaparral-associated illness, thirteen of which involved liver toxicity.
