The controversy of B17; vitamin not bomber

Well, there is a bomber plane called a B17, but I’m talking about the vitamin which has it’s own issues. Back in the 70’s there came to be known a substance called laetrile.  There were some huge claims that laetrile which comes from apricot and is the apricot seeds were so therapeutic to eat, it could even prevent cancer. Now, this is a claim the FDA did not like, and of course the pharmaceutical companies did not like even more, as they can’t patent it. Having said that remember, I’m not a doctor, don’t claim to be, and you should always run supplements by your doctor to make sure they’re ok, especially if you’re taking pharmaceutical drugs.

B17 is not available to us, if anything you’d have to go to Europe or probably do some detective work here in America to find out where you could get some if you wanted.

I don’t have an opinion on this b vitamin. I think anytime you hear a cure all one should be cautious and do the research so you make the wisest choice.

Just wanted to keep the controversial B17 in the mix since I’m covering the b vitamins. So far I’ve mentioned quite a few in previous posts and I hope you see how important they are for keeping your nerves, digestion, hair color, ears, protein digestion, healthy cholesterol levels and so much more in balance.

Chemistry my friends, vitamins and nutritional science is understanding your bodies chemistry and I hope you’re learning each time you read. Now B smart.
