Pada sebilangan orang, ia mungkin kedengaran pelik tetapi tumbuhan seperti epal boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan. Dengan memakan biji epal pada kadar yang berlebihan boleh membawa maut. Hal ini kerana biji epal mengandungi bahan Cyanogenic Glycosides, yang beracun.
TT sila pastikan fakta anda benar. Biji epal mengandungi vitamin B17. Vitamin B17 adalah penawar semulajadi yang terdapat pada 1200 jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan atau buah-buahan terutamanya biji Aprikot, badam , biji apple, biji anggur, biji buah-buahn dan kekacang. Berdasarkan buku "World Wihout Cancer". tulisan G. Edwar Griffin, Biji Aprikot mentah mengadungi kadar kepekatan B17 yang tinggi berbanding biji-biji buah yang lain.Vitamin B17 atau Laetrile mampu meningkatkan sistem imunisasi dan daya ketahanan tubuh badan serta mampu meningkatkan kecerdasan dan tahap kesihatan seseorang individu.Selain itu Vitamin B17akan bekerjasama dengan sistem imun dan membunuh sel kanser secaralangsung. Cyanide akan dibebaskan dari ikatan kimianya yang terdapat dalan B17. Bila cyanide dibebaskan maka cyanide akan membunuh sel kanser ( sel kanser sahaja yang mempunyai enzim Beta Glucosidase). Secara lumrahnya sel yang sihat tidak terdapatenzim Beta Glucosidase (enzim yang boleh membebaskan cyanide). B17 hanya bertindak pada sel yang tidak normal dalam badan manusia seperti sel kanser. Maka sebab itulah B17 tidak bekerja pada sel yang sihat. Vitamin B17 yang berlebihan juga akan ditukar kepada elemen-elemen positif oleh enzim Rhodanese yang terdapat dalam tubuh badan untuk kesihatan sel-sel dan membantu mengurangkan keasidan serta toksin dalam darah. Dengan itu, ia membantu meningkatkan keseimbangan pH dalam tubuh serta memperlahankan penyebaran kanser, mengurangkan kandungan kolestrol dan membantu merawat penyakit jantung serta diabetis.

Vitamin B17 helps in strengthening the immune system. On the other hand, it is also beneficial in improving one's overall health and maintaining it. However, it is not recommended or used on a large-scale because of the potential toxicity associated with it. The metabolism of amygdalin in the human body produces hydrogen cyanide; which is a fatal product. Therefore, one should remember that oral administration of Laetrile can be lethal and hence, it should be avoided. Use of Laetrile orally, in the form of medication or supplements is banned and should be avoided under any conditions. The only way to have vitamin B17 is through the natural sources.
