As many already know, bitter almonds contain a certain amount of amygdalin, a cyanogenetic compound that is activated thanks to the intestinal bacterial flora.
Some researchers, as documented in the old publication of 1982 " A clinical trial of amygdalin (Laetrile) in the treatment of human cancer ", have highlighted the interaction between amygdalin (in the form of a drug called Laetrile) and 178 subjects affected by cancer pathology. However, not only did the disease not show any improvement, but there were not a few side effects attributable to cyanide poisoning (significantly increased in the bloodstream).
Ultimately, the amygdalin of bitter almonds (in the form of Laetrile) is a toxic drug that has no positive effect on cancer treatment.
