All leaves are poisonous I believe - some more soGod I loved rhubard as a kid - fresh out the garden, bowl of sugar for dipping, Trumpton on the telly. lovely.
Actually, with all that sugar and acid it's no wonder I had 'soft teeth'* as a kid

Oh yesI was telling Mrs Box about dipping rhubarb in sugar at the weekend, she was incredulous.
The conversation was had while she tucked into her mum's 'rhubarb fool' - which was nothing more than rhubarb, sugar and cream.

Could be summa to this...But when has a child been harmed by rhubarb in garden? I find no incidence stats. Its about oxalic acid- same as spinach or sorrel: In a 56kg person, '5 kg of the extremely sour leaves would have to be consumed' to reach LD50 [sayeth wikip].
ie- even playing with a hand-crank juicer, my juvenile-idiot cuisine was no danger. The stuff tastes that awful.
But another reason why adults should eat all the spinach. Save the children!
