apricot kernels

I recommend extreme caution with B-17. Cyanide poisoning has been reported. Here is a great resource for information.

Thanks for the link Tanya. Very interesting link. The idea about eating large amounts of apricot pits has been around a long time. I know the idea has never been proven.
On the other hand I guess the very small amount of B17 in other foods on the list from my link is harmless unless eaten in very large amounts. Those are foods many of us eat fairly often.
Thanks always for your imput. The more we learn about food and exercise the more we can help ourselves on a 24/7 basis.
