Am surprised Duncan Donuts has not been shut down and anyone else who dares to include poppy seeds in their products. It just make sense - when measured against the ever increasing, totalitarian inclinations of Liberal Government.

That aside. . .any special effects from eating a poppyseed bagel? Just wondering ;^)

None that I have ever noticed, but those lemon poppy seed muffins are a real high!!!

I have some skepticism about this story. Having seen a lot of drug prosecutions based on urinalysis, I have to say the “poppy seed bagel/cake/cupcake/pastry” is one of the oldest “defenses” in the book.

It never worked. There was so much contrary evidence that, even if poppy seeds could, in some instances, maybe show up on a drug test, it was almost impossible for them to cause a false positive considering the level of metabolite that had to be present and the formulas for calculating half-life, etc.

Long way around of saying, yeah, I have some skepticism about this story. I’d need to know more about the type of test conducted, the actual blood level, when the test was taken compared to when she said she ate the bagel, etc.
