Over Pimpinella anisum, de 'goede' anijs:

Medicinal Properties:

Over the centuries, anise has been reported to have numerous medical benefits, but there is no evidence that it offers any pharmacologic benefit. It is thus a flavorful digestive spice that may be soothing, stimulating or carminative (relieving gas) in different individuals, and it is a popular taste in drinks, confections and simple proprietary medicines.
See chemicals in spices.

5.3. Preclinical safety data

Well-established use Traditional use

Not required as per Article 16c(1)(a)(iii) of
Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, unless
necessary for the safe use of the product.

Data on estrogenic activity and antifertility
activity of trans-anethole demonstrated in vitro
and in laboratory animals at high concentrations
are not considered relevant to human exposure
given the recommended posology and conditions
of use.

Results from non-clinical studies showed a weak
mutagenic potential of anethole.
Estragole is a constituent of anise oil. Several
studies have shown the carcinogenic effects of
estragole and some of its metabolites in mice
(mainly malignant liver tumors).

En hier kun je superactiviteit van planten zoeken tegen een bepaalde aandoening:

Berg aan info. Wetenschappelijk? Zo ver ben ik niet gaan lezen. Wel interessant...

Komt allemaal van:

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville Area
Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN)

Kunt dus ook naar de NEGATIEF werkende stoffen zoeken....
