I had read in a book on wild plants that the berries can make a nice jam. The poision is nutralized by boiling. I found that very interesting and would be interested if there is any confimation on this.
Because "Bittersweet" is a regional name for this plant (used for a completely different plant in North America), this page should be moved to "Solanum dulcramara", with a disambig page for "Bittersweet". Comments? SB Johnny 14:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
The WDNR (at least; I have suspicions that this is mentioned elsewhere as well) refers to this plant as "Deadly Nightshade" on the Chiwaukee Prairie Plant List, not to be confused with true Deadly Nightshade ( Atropa belladonna). It may be a good idea to mention this somewhere and/or make a disambiguation page clarifying this. Isangaft220 ( talk)
I found one line to be largely opinion: "Bittersweet is an important remedy for treating herpes infections and allergies." As eceryone knows, the efficacy of homeopathic medicine is hotly disputed, and this POV statement has no place here. I am deleting it. Mihovil
I've moved the following text from the article to here. It needs some work to comply with the policy against original research.

The article says the plant grows to 4 meters - however, here in New England, I'm sure I've seem it growing much taller (using existing trees as "trellises", of course). How likely is it that there might be a source to verify this? Huw Powell ( talk) 00:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

...is beyond ludicrous. NO sourcing for anything, no explanation for what these secret mystery products are, lots of unknown people with presumptory and unverifiable bona fides popping up over the course of a few paragraphs. What's the doctor's daughter got to do with anything? Who is this Fred person in Miami? Can we verify anything about the NIH, their knowledge of this, their refusal to divulge the secret.
This stuff needs to be written (first) in a way that makes some kind of simple sense, and (second) can be sourced and verified. I don't want to take it out, on the off chance that some of this stuff actually belongs in here, but frankly it's the funniest and least sensible thing I've read on Wikipedia, so it probably should go.

I haven't the time to update the article at the moment, but this source might come in handy for someone looking to do so later: http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/shrub/soldul/all.html#163 Zell Faze ( talk) 17:24, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Infact there are dozens upon dozens of edible completely non toxic Sols, so this statement doesnt make sense. Bittersweet nightshade is arguably on the more toxic side, but it is fortunely bitter. From what ive read deadly nightshade is quite tasty, perhaps why it is associated with more poisonings. 2A04:4A43:413F:D435:0:0:271C:D08A ( talk) 03:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
"It has been documented that Indigenous people of North America used the roots for relief of fever and nausea." This seems to be in contradiction with the statement of where it is native and where it has spread unless this is referring to use after the beginning of the Colonial period. I've seen other sources describe it as non-native but "naturalized" in North America. Ealtram ( talk) 00:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
