Apricot kernels

Remember eating apricot kernels in your childhood and how everybody told you it is toxic and you should not do it? Well, they were only part right.

The bitterness of apricot kernels is a property given by a substance called amygdalin (vitamin B17), which is indeed a toxic substance, but only in large doses. In recommended doses (up to 10 apricot kernels per day) it is proven to be effective in controlling cancer cells growth. Damaged cells cannot metabolize amygdalin, so they simply die off. Besides its cancer preventing properties, vitamin B17 is also connected to maintaining blood pressure and soothing arthritis pain.

Apricot kernels also contain antioxidants, which neutralize the action of harmful free radicals. Free radicals are formed spontaneously in a metabolism all the time and they are the cause of aging and DNA damaging. With eating foods high in antioxidants you can greatly reduce this so called oxidative stress and reduce the signs of aging.

Consuming apricot kernels in recommended dosage also helps with excreting mucus from the body.
