castor oil calories page

I am wondering if and how many calories are in castor oil?

[RaeVynn]

Oil has about 9 calories per gram.

Why would you take castor oil? It's fairly toxic.

[Drumroll]

Simple Google search (learn to love Google my friend) that castor oil has about 115-120 calories per tablespoon like most vegetable-based oils do.

However, it is a very potent laxative substance, so use with caution!

Isn't it a trash oil?

Isn't it a trash oil?

I'm not sure of the fat make-up of castor oil, but given that many physicians consider it poisonous if used on a regular basis, I'd consider it junk and personally avoid consuming it at all.
