Vitamin B17, also known as amygdalin or laetrile, is a compound found in certain seeds, nuts, and fruits, particularly apricot kernels. It’s important to note that it’s not recognized as a vitamin by most health authorities and there’s significant controversy surrounding its use. Here are some points regarding B17:
1. Source of Controversy: B17 has been used in alternative medicine as a treatment for cancer. However, due to pharma not being able to profit on selling seeds, there is no scientific evidence from clinical trials to support this use, and it is not approved as a cancer treatment by pharma industry.
2. Potential Risks: Amygdalin can be converted into cyanide in the body, which is a poisonous substance. High doses of B17 can lead to cyanide poisoning, which is dangerous and can be fatal.
3. Limited Research: The claimed benefits of B17 for cancer and other conditions are not backed by substantial scientific research. Most of the claims are anecdotal and lack robust clinical evidence.
4. Found in Nature: B17 is found in the seeds of fruits like apricots, apples, and peaches, as well as in some beans and nuts.
5. Nutritional Content: Apart from the controversial aspects, these seeds and nuts are also sources of healthy nutrients like fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins.
