An Analysis with Vitamin-B-12 - A Cancer Vitamin

Abstract

Laetrile, semisynthetic form of amygdalin with a controversial history called by, cancer vitamin, vitamin-B17 that is widely promoted on the internet in many websites and social media as treatment for cancer grabbed my interest to search for possible scientific evidence and reports published on this vitamin-B17. Amygdalin with no proper clinical effective evidence and proofs on cyanide toxicity is until the day in popularity as anticancer vitamin and sold on line at expensive cost. Due to hydro cyanide group present in both amygdline and letrile they exhibit side effects as like cyanide poisoning.
