I Am Very Confused and Want a Muffin

They did it on Mythbusters and it is true. You have to eat ALOT of it though, I don't think one muffin is going to ruin you.

I have encountered this idea, and I've been told that it poppy seed muffin will not make you test positive for opiates. Seems the seeds don't have any in it, especially after they've been cooked. Enjoy your muffin!

Can the morphine from poppy seeds be detected in a sample?
Research shows that morphine and codeine can sometimes be detected in the urine up to 48 hours after ingestion of poppy seeds from some pastries, such as bagels, muffins, and cakes (see reference one for a free article on this topic).In most cases, consumption of poppy seeds in foods will not cause a positive doping test.

However, it may be possible to exceed the morphine threshold by eating foods with poppy seeds and USADA can’t predict how long morphine or morphine metabolites from poppy seeds will stay in your system. The most conservative approach would be to avoid poppy seeds a few days before testing.

Is that really true? They still can't figure out how to take that into account? How are we supposed to enjoy our muffins knowing it could cost us our jobs???

They don't show up in high amount.

Any place that drug tests overlook that tiny amount of opiods.

I had not heard of this. I'm not usually fond of muffins but now I will avoid them for sure.

Wowww. That's pretty messed up! You make me want a muffin though. Lol

Eat your muffins. Any amount would be waaaay too small for a workplace screening to detect.

You can explain it
