Original Note:
Vitamin B17 is not a vitamin. It's a drug derived from plant substances. There's no evidence that it can treat cancer. It can however cause cyanide poisoning. When a person ingests B17, the body converts it into cyanide in the small intestine: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/b17-vitamin#food-sources
