Apricot seed seller taken down.
« on: December 03, 2019, 12:45:45 PM »
Went to try and find my the website I bought apricot seeds from and it was seized.

Looks like this was fairly recent.

Google "Jason Vale apricots from God" and it will bring up different news articles about it including a recent video interview with Jason from some MSM outlet called "Access Hollywood". https://youtu.be/KYk7sgx2zLI

That's because Jason Vale, if I remember who he is, made the mistake of claiming in advertising that they "cured cancer." Legally, no one is allowed to make that claim when they sell a product unless it is first FDA approved, and since apricot seeds cannot be patented, there is no approval process for them.

According to the FDA, the only thing that can 'cure' any disease/condition is a drug. If a bottled water company claimed that their product 'cured' dehydration, they would be in violation of the law, too! It's ridiculous how a bunch of unelected bureaucrats are allowed to tell people what they can and can't put into their own bodies! I could easily start a rant here, so I'll stop...

At the end of the video, they say:

We must remind everyone that the FDA and medical communities say that apricot seeds are potentially very dangerous.

LOL! Water can be dangerous if you drink too much. The sun can be dangerous if you are in it too long. Of course they are going to say that, they just want to make sure people do not turn away from their drugs so they can keep making money.

So are peanuts, and many other natural foods, to some people, and they have warnings on the packages, usually about allergies. It's nothing unusual or conspiratorial if apricot seeds required to have the same warnings. Even if it is just for a choking hazard.
I still have at least four companies that I buy my bitter apricot seeds from through Amazon.

In EU unprocessed apricot kernels are forbidden (only if used for consumption) since 2017: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32017R1237&from=EN.
I think this statement is actually wrong:
'Amygdalin is the major cyanogenic glycoside present in unprocessed apricot kernels and is degraded to hydrocyanic acid (cyanide) by chewing'.

In the Netherlands it is not for sale anymore since a year ago a man almost died after eating apricot kernels as a snack.

It's still for sale in Germany (for example Amazon), but it has a warning sticker: not for consumption.

According to The Little Cyanide Cookbook; Delicious Recipes Rich in Vitamin B17 there are also many other foods which contain B17.
https://www.amazon.com/Cyanide-Cookbook-Delicious-Recipes-Vitamin/dp/0912986379
For example lentils which contain above 100 mg B17 per 100 g food. The concentration of B17 is much lower than seed kernels (above 500 mg per 100 g), but it is usually eaten in higher quantities.

Could someone point me in the right direction to buy apricot seeds, I actually like the taste of them but for some reason can't seem to find where to buy them.  Rarely the apricots we get at work has a seed in the can, but I try to get them when I can.  Though, it's been a long time since we've got apricots at work.

Amazon was already mentioned in this thread. You can search for apricot kernels raw. They are often labeled as being organic.
Processed (heated) kernels don't have B17 in it, they can be used to give a nice taste to cookies. I think the kernels from canned apricots won't work.

The kernels are inside the seed. You only need the kernels.

Just do a search for "apricot seeds bitter" in Amazon and look for yourselves. Make sure you find the ones that are described as bitter. Many of them are available through the original distributor in addition to Amazon.
Prices vary widely. Here are three I found that seem to have the best prices.

Apricot Kernels (Seeds) 2 X 1lb Bag (Resealable) Raw and Bitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GGHH36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TE39DbDQBE8H1

Raw Garden Bitter Raw Apricot Seed California Grown (2 lbs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074D1RZ8K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jF39DbAGAABJW

Apricot Kernels Raw Seeds, Fresh Premium Apricot Kernels Raw Seeds with No Shell | High in Vitamin B17 & B15 | 2 LB Resealable Bag Apricot Kernals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JL4581V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FF39DbKEPPQYC

As good a reason as any to start growing your own apricot trees. Mum and Dad had one in the back yard when I was growing up and they got annoyed that a good chunk of the crop went missing when they started ripening...I couldn't help it, I liked them so much, and store bought ones don't have anywhere near the flavor of home grown  :D

I was unaware that the heating process destroyed Vitamin B17. Are you sure about that?
