| Cause Toxicity | |
| Cause Allergic Reaction | |
| Reduction Method | It is stated that the problem could probably be overcome if high methionine foods such as the traditional grain acha (Digitaria exilis) are eaten along with acacia. Moringa leaf would also provide excellent methionine supplementation. |
