Use of Apricot Kernel to Fight Cancer
Apricot seeds were first used as a cancer treatment in the U.S. in the 1920s by Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Sr., who reported “substantial results” using oils from apricot kernels. [s] However, the treatment was too toxic for general use. In the 1950s, his son developed a safer, nontoxic formula also derived from apricot kernels.
The apricot kernel alleviates the risk of free radicals, which cause oxidative damage to the living cells and result in common degenerative disorders such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer [s].
Extract of the apricot kernel can be effectively used as an antifungal ingredient for the prevention of skin and health issues. Apricot oil can promote blood circulation and release pain and inflammation.[s] You can buy apricot kernel oil here.
Some research suggests that amygdalin might help fight cancer, but more research is needed here.
Are Apricot Kernels safe to eat?
Sweet apricot kernels contain little to no amount of amygdalin (AMY) [source: Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey] and hence are safe to be eaten. The research states that the maximum amygdalin AMY content in sweet apricot kernels is 0.40mg per g hence eating 509 grams per day could cause cyanide poisoning.
On the other hand, some varieties of bitter apricot kernels can have up to 44.41 mg per gram of amygdalin (AMY) and hence only 2-3 kernels should be eaten in a day.
How many apricot seeds should a person eat a day?
Sweet apricot kernels are safe to eat and you can consume up to 500g a day.
