The kernels are rich in amygdalin - also known as vitamin B17 (though not technically a vitamin). The use of amygdalin to
treat certain conditions is so controversial that we cannot write about it, therefore we encourage people to do their own research. One of the issues with bitter apricot kernels is that the metabolism of amygdalin produces hydrogen cyanide - a potent toxin. Therefore it is recommended to consume no more than three apricot kernels per day. It is important to remember that amygdalin is found in the pips of many fruits such as apples, grapes, cherries, peaches, plums and nectarines though not in such high concentrations as found in bitter apricot kernels. It is also useful to remember here that salt, while beneficial and in fact essential to human health, if consumed in excessive quantities can be toxic.
