Original Note:
There is no such thing as "Vitamin B17." Laetrile contains potentially lethal amounts of cyanide, and there is no evidence of its efficacy against cancer. It is banned by the FDA in the US and by health agencies in other countries for these reasons. https://quackwatch.org/related/Cancer/laetrile/ https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/complementary-alternative-therapies/individual-therapies/laetrile https://www.fda.gov/food/chemical-contaminants-pesticides/natural-toxins-food
