Laetrile proponents claim that about ten kernels per day are sufficient. According to estimates, consuming 50-60 apricot kernels could result in a fatal dose of Cyanide. A meta-research concluded that there is “a considerable risk of serious adverse effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile or Amygdalin, especially after oral ingestion.” Therefore, it is recommended to take apricot kernels in capsule or IV form.
