Is the common yew (Taxus baccata) actually poisonous?

Yes, almost all parts of Taxus baccata are highly toxic. The needles, bark, and seeds contain taxine alkaloids, which can cause cardiac arrest in humans and animals even in small doses. The only non-toxic part is the red flesh of the berry. Despite its toxicity, yew has been used in cancer research, as the compound paclitaxel is derived from it.
