Sage oil, commonly sold in health food stores, contains many times the concentration of thujone present in absinthe. Absinthe's legendary "aphrodisiac" properties are likewise due to its high alcohol content, not any function of wormwood or thujone. Under current EU regulations, absinthe does not have to contain any thujone to justify the name, but also must not exceed a maximum of 35 milligrams of thujone per kilogram. In order to standardize the content, the European Commission has proposed that we have also found the thujone content of the wormwood samples tested to date to be very low. Following a typical recipe, the highest theoretical concentration of thujone in absinthe produced from these wormwood samples would be less than 5 ppm. But absinthe is making a comeback in America and in Europe, thanks in part to studies that have shown that its dangers were exaggerated. Today, with thujone content heavily regulated, absinthe is again being served around the world, including in California In pinning the mind-blowing effects of absinthe on thujone, however, they breezily discounted the potency of its 45 -72 per cent alcohol content.

As I noted in reason a couple of years ago, it now seems likely that old-fashioned absinthe rarely, if ever, contained enough The modern scientific consensus is that absinthe's reputation could simply be traced back to alcoholism, or perhaps toxic compounds that leaked in during faulty distillation. Still, others have pointed at a chemical named thujone in wormwood, one of the (Actually, a few bloggers might argue this point. Not surprisingly, absinthe has an intense online community, where discussions of, say, thujone content spiral off into gigantic threads.)
