What Is Vitamin B17

Amygdalin is a naturally occurring glycoside which was once thought to have anti-cancer activity yet unlike other vitamins has no deficiency symptoms in humans when it is eliminated from the diet. The famous 20th century biochemist Forest T. Krebs was first person to isolate the amygdalin and it was he who dubbed amygdalin Vitamin B17. Currently popular scientific opinion--after several scientific investigations--believes that Vitamin B17 has no significant anti-cancer activity against tumours and can in fact be lethal when ingested in high enough doses.
