Doctors warned about the danger of eating apricot seeds

04.09.2025

Scientific studies do not confirm that apricot bones really treat cancer and protect against it. Moreover, they contain Amigdalin – a substance that turns into toxic cyanide in our body. The deadly dose of cyanide can lead to a coma, cramps or death.

Amigdalin, also known as Vitamin B17 or Laetril, was studied as a means of treating cancer. Studies have shown: it really destroys cancer cells. But there is a nuance: when introducing into the body, Amigdalin also kills part of healthy cells. Dr. Kelly Johnson-Arbor, a toxicologist from the Medstar university hospital under Georgetown, warned that the intake of amigidalin could lead to serious diseases, regardless of whether you have oncology.

Apricot seeds contain a lot of amygdalene. It is transformed in the body into toxic cyanide. Moderate symptoms of cyanide poisoning include difficulty breathing, weakness, dizziness. If you have noticed a person in a person with a bluish skin tone, then this is already a serious sign – immediately call an ambulance.
