Death?, and be careful? OMFG!!, That's extremely reassuring. Let me get this straight, you report a therapeutic dose (LD50?) of toxic Tonka Beans increases risk of death, so the risks are minimal people.

Abi-try Tonka Beans (death). Lotus-drink green tea (health).........you be the judge.
No, the therapeutic dose of coumarin is well below the LD50 of coumarin. WELL below. I recommend caution with everything, in case you haven't noticed.
There are things out there people take far more readily whose difference between therapeutic dose and LD50 is much smaller than coumarin. In other words, risk of death with those things is actually higher. And the only thing in tonka bean that has any effect, therapeutic or toxic, at all, is coumarin. Everything else in tonka bean is medically inert.
