Answer:
Many cacti have oxalic and malic acid in their flesh and juices, oxalic acid is toxic however new growth has less than older growth and cooking destroys malic acid - I'm not sure about oxalic acid. Oxalic acid reacts with the calcium in animals and can cause kidney failure by clogging up the kidneys.
