| Taken orally or as an injection, laetrile is a purified form of amygdalin, a chemical found in lima beans, raw nuts and the pits of many fruits. |
|
| Moreover, when unripe, they contain amygdalin, which is also present in bitter almonds, and are toxic. |
|
| This herb contains amygdalin which hydrolizes into benzaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid. |
|
| Bitter apricot kernels naturally contain a compound called amygdalin, which has the potential to release cyanide when ingested by humans. |
|
| The almonds eaten as nuts come from sweet almond varieties, which do not contain amygdalin and are safe to eat. |
|
| The best known is amygdalin, which upon hydrolysis yields sugar, benzaldehyde, and cyanide. |
|
| The crude oil contains considerable amygdalin and is poisonous, but this is removed during refining. |
|
| The plant contains fatty acids, vitamins, enzymes and the cyanogenic glycoside, amygdalin. |
|
| The seeds and tissues of both species contain dangerous cyanogenetic glycosides, such as amygdalin, which are capable of releasing hydrogen cyanide gas upon hydrolysis. |
|
| The seeds of apples contain small amounts of amygdalin, a sugar and cyanide compound known as a cyanogenic glycoside. |
|
| Scientific evidence continues to accumulate for the efficacy of the apricot kernel-derived chemical amygdalin in cancer. |
|
| But to Moss' surprise, numerous letters were written in regard to a substance called amygdalin, or, more popularly, laetrile. |
|
| The United States National Library of Medicine's Hazardous Substances Data Bank records no cases of amygdalin poisoning from consuming apple seeds. |
|
| However, the seeds are supposed to be spitted out, as they contain a substance called amygdalin, which can release a small amount of hydrogen cyanide when digested. |
|
| The cyanogenic glycoside Amygdalin does not deter consumption of ripe fruits by Cedar Waxwings. |
