== The benefits of Apricot Seeds are ==
* There are many indications by many sources that taking apricot kernels helps preventing [[cancer]].Apricot kernels contain a high amount of vitamin B17, which is also known as laetrile, amygdalin or nitriloside. Nitrilosides can also be found in most all fruit seeds including apple, peach, cherry, orange, and nectarine. It is also found in millet, wheat grass, lima beans and mung beans. Amagdylin is found with the highest concentration and necessary enzymes in apricot seed kernels. A primitive tribe, the Hunzas, were known to consume large amounts of apricot seed kernels. The hard pit had to be broken to get into the soft kernels. There was no incidence of cancer with them at all, ever. And they had long, healthy life spans. Laetrile was created by simply extracting amagdylin from the soft apricot kernels, purifying it and putting it into a concentrated form.
