Here's another great myth that apple seeds contain cyanide and will kill you. No, the cyanide in the seeds are actually vitamin B17 that fights cancer. Another wonderful source of vitamin B17 are apricot kernels. I eat about 35 of them a week, and give them to my dogs, and we're not dead yet.
Cyanide is NOT a vitamin. No one dies from cyanide deficiency.

And yes, too much vitamin C can be harmful, how is that even surprising? Anything can be bad in too high amounts.
Thanks for this!
