Original Note:
Also known as laetrile, vitamin b17, or amygdalin. It is not a vitamin, it is poison. This substance is banned by the FDA because it turns into cyanide in the gut, which can be fatal. There is no scientific evidence that it is a cancer cure. https://www.webmd.com/cancer/amygdalin-cancer-treatment https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/laetrile-pdq
