I don't know about you but I'm intrigued about books and articles that talk about different kinds of foods, beverages, herbs, and so on we should be taking to lower our risk of cancer. So many authors agree and disagree about what is good for you and what isn't. One week coffee is good for you and the next it isn't. It's both entertaining and frustrating to read about the subject of proper nutrition because new scientific research is always changing and it affects people's lives who rely on this information to adjust how they eat and how they live their lives in general.

What has stuck out in my mind the last month or so if Apricot Seeds. I've read two books now that have talked about the enormous health benefits of Apricot Seeds and how small villages in certain parts of the world eat these seeds on a regular basis have a 0% cancer rate. I found this to be very intriguing. From searching the Internet I have found that there is scientific evidence that Apricot Seeds are indeed healthy for you but there isn't a guarantee that by eating them you will be cancer free. I've been wondering to myself why people haven't tried advertising Apricot Seeds as a cancer preventor when we have things like Acai Berries and juice which some people swear by to boost their immune system and make them feel energized all day, every day. Personally, I think Acai Berries and juice are just a marketing ploy because companies charge an arm and a leg for these products and their is no scientific evidence that their are any health benefits with drinking Acai Juice or eating Acai Berries. Again, this is just my opinion but I'm certain I get just as many health benefits by eating Blueberries, Strawberries, and Raspberries as I would from eating Acai berries.

What makes me think that Apricot Seeds are worth a try is that there is evidence that small villages who eat these as part of their diets have a 0% cancer rate. I have read articles about this without marketing or a sales pitch attached to these claims (unlike Acai berries and juice) which makes me think maybe their is some truth to the health benefits of Apricot Seeds. Apricot Seeds contain Vitamin B17 which there is scientific evidence that says is very good for you. I read that Apricot Seeds are not available for sale in the US but I have searched for them on the Internet and they are available for purchase through many online sources. One warning if you decide to purchase Apricot Seeds and make them part of your diet though....they contain trace amounts of cyanide and if eaten in abundance can lead to illness and possibly death. I'm wondering if it's the trace amount of cyanide in in Apricot Seeds that kill cancer cells? I'm guessing that is probably the main reason why people who eat them on a regular basis have been known to have no or very low rates of cancer. In my opinion, I'd say they're worth doing some research on and possibly purchasing if you lead a healthy lifestyle and are always looking for ways to maintain a strong immune system and healthy body. But be careful if you decide to add them to your diet since too many appear to not be good for your health.
