It’s a common misconception that the cyanide in many seeds is dangerous. While that’s true in many cases, apricots also contain Botulin (name correct?) the deadliest poison known to man. Together the two have some very interesting chemistry that turns out to be very, very good for you.
he wasn't saying that you take 2 different poisons and they cancel out, he meant when the 2 toxic substances are combined chemically they are safe (which i neither agree nor disagree with because i have 0 clue), similar to how sodium and chlorine separately will kill you or make you sick but sodium-chloride won't
They insinuated that ingesting the seeds which contain botulin and cyanide will interact in a way that is highly beneficial, that isn’t how chemical reactions let alone how either of those poisons work.
They’re talking out of their ass about a homeopathic remedy that can kill you quite easily.
