Apricot Seeds

I was reading an article about a group of people in India who have a 0% Cancer rate. The article went on to say that the scientists believed the immunity was directly related to the high consumption of apricot seeds by the natives. When I googled apricot seeds, I found that they actually contain vitamin B17 and trace amounts of the compound Cyanide, which besides being a well known poison, does actually have several medical uses. It also warns that you can overdose on the seeds and that they should not be eaten in excess. I know it's not the cure for Cancer, but maybe the next time you're at a Trader Joe's or Costco you'll consider picking up some dried apricots and incorporating them into your diet.
