Just remember that apricot seeds also contain cyanide, wouldn't want the cure for cancer to be death by cyanide poisoning instead! Annie in SE OH.

I ate a ton of apricot seeds at grandpa's when I was young and never got poisoned, so I guess it would take a very large amount. Is cyanide cumulative?

-- Laura Jensen (lauraj@seedlaw.com), December 01, 2000.

Laura, yes, cyanide is cumulative in effect, and different people have different tolerance levels. What might sicken one person, might not effect another, yet might out and out kill the third. Annie in SE OH.

I am not sure about dosages, but there is a rather well-known case where a man saved up an entire cup of apple seeds and ate them at one time, because he thought they were a great delicacy. Unfortunately, his gastronomical delight killed him. Cyanide in those seeds too. Perhaps consult a holistic practitioner on this? Essaic formula is supposed to be very helpful as well, and as far as I know, not toxic.

Check out "My Little Cyanide Cookbook" which has a list of other seeds and foods that have Vitamin B-17 (laetrile) in them including seeds from apples, pears, bitter almond, etc.

My friend Dr. Peter Michael said that he grew up eating apricot seeds- ate them as a treat with honey. All of his friends ate them to and no one got sick! The FDA blows everthing out of proportion except the fact over 100,000 plus people die every year from pharmacetical drugs- which are "approved"!Now,go back ten years and do the math and see how many have died(now go back ten more years-should I stop and ask how many people die each year from those nasty pits?-apricot seeds are dangerous huh?
