Had to look it up on Wikipedia...

"In the food industry, castor oil (food grade) is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g., polyglycerol polyricinoleate or PGPR in chocolate),[7] as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging."
"The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized castor oil as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative with its major site of action the small intestine where it is digested into ricinoleic acid.[10] Despite castor oil being widely used to induce labor in pregnant women, to date there is not enough research to show whether it is effective to ripen the cervix or induce labor."

I've never heard of using it in pies. It's an oil, not a syrup. Try not to let her rile you up.

I ll try there were a few other thing she said that made me really mad. That just annoyed me.

I can vouch that it does not induce labor, just makes you super clean, oh and BTW it tastes awful, so let your sis use it in her baking just don't eat it. If castor oil is not properly processed it is poisonous it comes from the castor bean which contains Ricin, Ricin is a poison found naturally in castor beans. If castor beans are chewed and swallowed, the released ricin can cause injury. Ricin can be made from the waste material left over from processing castor beans.

Wow thats interesting and thanks. She annoying on alot of things i know i shouldnt let it bother me but with some info that doesnt need to be spread lets just say she normally not very nice person. I dont kkow if i can hand her in person right now i was talking to my mom and it can up about me hosting christmas and i am going to back out of it for the peace of the family i dont think i can handle her in person and be nice.

Seems to me you're going to be too busy with a new baby to be hosting Christmas anyway...perfect excuse to let someone else do it. Just show up for dinner then go home.

If i dont go into labor by next monday they plan on inducing me sometime that week. so i might be in the hospital anyways. Plus i am the only one who cant travel they all live two hours away its one reason it came up.

You will have a new born. great excuse.
It is difficult to handle that sort of thing,
If you can think of it not as an attack on you, but as a flaw in her personality coming through, It helps.
Easier to say than do, and it takes a lot of practice; but if you can,when she says something that bothers you, try to feel sorry for her and soon you will have the power.
Don't get tangled in a knot. You have a baby inside you that needs to have calm pleasant body chemicals wafting through your body, not stressful ones.

We ...well...started having smaller and smaller family gatherings until they became stress free and fun.
Just us three and a couple friends.
I look forward to holidays now, I used to dread them.
You are not alone.
