What is another word for Amygdalin?
Pronunciation: [ˈamɪɡdˌalɪn] (IPA) 
Amygdalin is a natural compound found in the seeds of several fruits, including apricots, peaches, and apples. This compound is also known as laetrile, mandelonitrile-beta-glucuronide, and vitamin B17. Amygdalin has been used as a traditional medicine in some cultures for its purported anti-cancer properties. It is often sold as a health supplement and included in some alternative cancer treatments. However, there is little scientific evidence to support these claims. While amygdalin is considered safe in small amounts, it can be dangerous if consumed in high doses, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness.
