Original Note:

This claim is incorrect. Bitter almonds and amygdalin (incorrectly called “vitamin B17”) are not banned in the US, though promoting them as cancer treatments is prohibited due to lack of effectiveness and serious safety concerns: https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/meta-programme-fact-checks/no-bitter-almond-tree-doesnt-cure-cancer-isnt-banned-us https://www.webmd.com/cancer/amygdalin-cancer-treatment https://fullfact.org/health/vitamin-B17-cancer/ “Vitamin B17” isn't actually a vitamin: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/b17-vitamin https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6513327/
