The root contains safrole. This is a minor carcinogen, discovered in the 1970's by the FDA.  The chemical is found in other spices, but in a (much) lower quantity, especially when compared to sassafrass tea.

Many plants are slightly poisonous (black walnut trees are a good example) to better facilitate the survival of the plant

How many root beers would you have had to drink to die.

Probably a fair amount, chemistry is not my strong area and i don't know where I could get explicit values

@shadow I think you do chemistry. How much root beer would I have to drink if I wanted to die.

More root beer than I would be dumping

Durza

A lot over a long period of time, similar to alcohol in that sense

Is real sassafrass even used nowadays?

Is real sassafrass even used now in days though?

Just saying that sounds very grammatically poor.  To answer the question, it is not used in anything commercially distributed.  That being said there are recipes to make your own, according to your search engine of choice

I'd think it would be relatively equal to the amount of water. Plus it depends on your time frame if its half hour or hours :P

If you have options do not make a soda float with Tab.

I love Tab but it just makes a float taste like medicine tbh.

You can't beat a good rootbeer float.

I don't do chemistry, I do biophysics!

But, probably a lot?
