Do Apricot kernels eat cancer cells?

Apricot kernels or the seeds found inside the pits of fresh apricots have been touted as a cancer cure for years. There are two types of apricot kernels, the sweet and the bitter. Bitter apricot kernels naturally contain a compound called amygdalin, and has the potential to release cyanide when ingested by humans. Small amounts of cyanide are detoxified by the human body but high doses can be lethal. Alternatively, sweet apricot kernels and the fruit (flesh) of apricots do not pose a risk of adverse health effects from cyanide exposure because they contain lower levels of amygdalin. Some people have used ground or whole bitter apricot kernels to flavour foods, as a health food, or for medicinal purposes. No government health authority has approved any medicinal or natural health uses of bitter apricot kernels, therefore in many countries it is illegal for companies to make any medicinal claim to treat, cure, or prevent a medical condition, such as cancer, on their packaging. Despite this, apricot kernels may be promoted in some health foods as a medicinal ingredient. Apricot kernels with unapproved medicinal claims may be offered for sale in many countries. These products may recommend very high quantities of apricot kernels be consumed, which would result in exposure to amygdalin doses higher than those considered to be safe by medical experts in North America and other international jurisdictions.
