Moreover, the risk of cyanide poisoning makes it a dangerous option. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5587935/ https://www.cancer.org.au/iheard/can-eating-apricot-kernels-cure-cancer https://www.emedicinehealth.com/what_is_b17_good_for/article_em.htm https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/laetrile-vitamin-b17 https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/laetrile-pdq
