Over the years, in contrast to a number of apricot seeds, the controversial vitamin B17 (also known as amygdalin), and its effectiveness in treating cancer in a time and keep them at bay contains. Amygdalin is a molecule with four components - two of glucose (sugar), one of benzaldehyde and cyanide. There seems to be a part of amygdalin cyanide or that her skirt went up and found the mountains on foot, or vice versa, and how to claim one way to find a potential cure for cancer use. It seems that when people eat apricot seeds, with the inevitable element of cyanide can be very dangerous, but if the scientists to change the component of cyanide, and call it a treatment, you can be sure. Confusing, is not it?
On September 7, 2000, 'The Independent' told us that scientists at Imperial College London found that "the magic of cyanide can kill cancer cells." What looks like a Dr. Deonarain Imperial College, said the first evidence that killing cancer cells with a "prodrug activation approach" (his words not mine). The newspaper described the "magic bullet" as a cocktail of cyanide from the cassava plant. This may be because, with apricot kernel oil, cassava contains B17 (Amygdalin)?
But before we make our skirts and back to the hills that we need the "danger of death from cancer treatment alternatives on the Web," white, as in "Sunday Times" reported (August 3, 2004). It seems that "thousands of cancer patients at risk their health by following the advice of sites that promote alternative treatments are wrong." Edzard Ernst, professor, apparently only the land of complementary medicine (obviously, a solitary work) asked the government to support people with strong pressure on the interweb treatments Surprisingly, the researchers found that dozens were funded by the drug as a cure or to prevent cancer - including shark cartilage, coffee enemas, mistletoe and "extract of apricot" - scary!
