Do you have any references for this?
Black Walnut produce more jugalone than other walnuts but "Most members of the Walnut family (Juglandaceae) produce a chemical called "juglone" (5 hydroxy-alphanapthoquinone) which occurs naturally in all parts of these plants." [1]
I have no reference to juglone as being toxic humans despite many references to its toxicity to other plants.
I personally haven't consumed much 'cause they're a hassle to prepare but other comment to my post was from a person who with no apparent effects. And I've eaten lots of commercial walnuts, which supposedly also contain jugalone
And, there's toxicity to horses from juglone and to dog something else from but nothing related to humans mentioned here or anywhere I can find.
