Is there such a thing as vitamin b17?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
