what is Amygdalin?
Amygdalin is a natural compound found in the seeds of various fruits, such as apricots, peaches, and almonds. It is also known as laetrile or vitamin B17. Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside, which means it contains a cyanide molecule that is released when ingested or metabolized. The use of amygdalin as a cancer treatment has been controversial and not supported by scientific evidence. In high doses, the release of cyanide from amygdalin can be toxic and potentially fatal. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when considering any form of amygdalin therapy.
