"A number of other cyanogenic glycosides are present in foods including linamarin (cassava, lima beans), prunasin (ferns) and sambunigrin (elderberries)."
"Bitter apricot kernels have recently become available as a health food on the UK market. As well as bitter apricot kernels, low levels of cyanide are also present in almonds, sweet apricot kernels and in the stones of other fruits such as cherries."
Also in both the website listed they use lots of averages and may but no where does it say that apricot kernels will kill you. So if it eat lots of almonds, elderberries or lima beans will I die or have that on my conscious? Personally, I don't like apricots or the kernels and could care less if what happens to the people that ingest them. I also know that eating a high sugar and fat diet will lead people to have diabetes and heart disease and I don't care about that either. Personally, I only care about my own health and diet and what others want to ingest or intake, it is up to them.
