Vitamin B17 appears in abundance in untamed nature.  Because B17 is bitter to the taste, in man’s attempt to improve tastes and flavors for his own pleasure, he has eliminated bitter substances like B17 by selection and cross-breeding.  It can be stated as a general rule that many of the foods that have been domesticated still contain the vitamin B17 in that part not eaten by modem man, such as the seeds in apricots.  Listed below is an evaluation of some of the more common foods.  Keep in mind that these are averages only and that specimens vary widely depending on variety, locale, soil, and climate.
