All my life I've heard about apricot kernels (the edible piece inside of the seed) as a preventive/cure for cancer, but it's a taboo subject in mainstream medicine. That's very telling. Anyway, saw this vid and started thinking about it again. I got one open and tasted it one time. Kind of like an almond, but even more tasty, though some people think apricot kernels taste very bitter. You can get organic ones, already shelled, many places.
Anyway, the vid:

The cyanide threat is a debunked bogey. In its natural unprocessed state (vitamin B17) it is considered harmless. Some batches of Amaretto are made from these apricot kernels, though some are made from almonds. I guess it depends on what the maker can get. The Wikipedia says the original home brew in the 16th century was to steep the apricot kernels in brandy, so I ordered some to try that. Like many things from Mexico, Presidente brandy is very high quality with a low pricetag, but my bottle is nearly empty so have to get more of that right away for this experiment.
