<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Cashew oil''' refers to oil extracted from the fruit of the [[cashew]]. The cashew nut has a shell with an oily outer layer, and a hard inner layer, within which the familiar cashew nut is contained. ''Cashew shell oil'' comes from the outer shell. It is [[toxic]] to humans, and is normally considered a waste product. Some work, however, showed that cashew shell oil can be useful in fighting [[dental cavities]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=Cashew oil may conquer cavities|journal=Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry|author=Masaki Himejima, Isao Kubo|date=February, 1991|volume=39|pages=418-421}}</ref><br />
Other uses of cashew shell oil have been explored, including as an additive to [[brake fluid]], to reduce brake fade and brake lining wear.<br />
