Question 1

what is vitamin b17?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B17?: Since the early 1950s, a modified form of amygdalin has been promoted under the names laetrile and "vitamin b17" as a cancer cure. In reality, laetrile is not a vitamin, and studies have found it to be ineffective, dangerously toxic due to its cyanide content, and potentially lethal. Medical experts issue a strong warning against its use.

Question 2

is there such a thing as vitamin b17?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Vitamin b17, also associated with amygdalin & laetrile, is not truly a vitamin. Laetrile (from apricot pits) and amygdalin (from apricot or almonds) were touted as  cancer cures decades ago. For the most part that has been debunked.

Question 3

Vit B17 = cyanide: Vit b17 is a "friendly" name of cyanide- it is poison. 
No documented scientific evidence exists supporting the use of cyanide (b17) to treat cancer patients.

Not sure: However, hydroxocobalamin is the form of b12 used to combat cyanide poisoning.

Many!: As a rule, brighly colored foods and vegetaables have more vitamins per serving.  However, google the vitamin you are interested in and specificy foods  high in that vitamin. A good diet trumps nutritional support from pills.

Accepted Answer

D3: I don't understand your question. 
D3 is available in 2% or skim milk. 
It is also available over the counter at little cost. 1000 unit tablets, usually 150 to a bottle, costs less than $10.

D3 does not need to be added to food - take once a day - and certainly does not need to be heated.
