You ever crack one of those badboys open? Looks exactly like an almond :). The taste is bitter though :P. I'm not sure, does cyanide bioaccumulate or does its activity enhance oxidative metabolism by temporarily stunting it? Supposedly one would need to eat upwards of 40-60 apricot kernals to get a dangerous dosage of cyanide. I'll admit it was many years ago when I first looked into laetrile, the arguments for it were rather well constructed (natural amygdalin vs extra toxic synthetic laetrile) is what they used to posit it as. Desperate people could certainly be hook in by such a thing as this: http://www.naturallifeenergy.com/conspiracy-behind-vitamin-b17-amygdalin-laetrile-cyanide-and-cancer-treatment/

If I remember right the clearance rate is about 0.1mg per kg bodyweight per hour. So theoretically, a person doesn't have to die of this. But you know how people are...
Have you read through the instructions on the homepage of the shop I linked? Accidental death waiting to happen.
Havn't read the instructions. Though check out some of the products which seem decently formulated. I'd be willing to eat a few bitter appricot seeds a day though yeah, what's to stop someone from trying to make apricot nut butter in their fancy blender or find a way to juice them. I'd hope there is a huge disclaimer somewhere involved. Warning: overconsumption may result in death of both you and your cancer, you first though, enjoy
