I learned this thanks to an episode of G.I. Joe where they destroy Cobra's out-of-control blob monster by using bombers to drop a million apples into it, thereby killing it from a cyanide overdose. When I was a kid, I thought that was the coolest poo poo ever and started going out of my way to eat the entire apple, core and seeds included to build up a cyanide resistance.

When I was in high school, I had a friend who maintained a supply of cyanide, 'just in case'. He gathered it by cooking it out of apple seeds, and would pass it around so we could all smell how almondy it was.

I wonder if he is dead yet.

This seriously pisses me off. My grandma was diagnosed with cancer last year and people tried to foist this poo poo off on her.

I convinced her not to eat any at least. They even advertised their particular apricot kernels as "extra bitter". Gotta have that extra poison in there.

IT absolutely is. It's another one of those "It totally works, but BIG PHARMA doesn't want you to know about it"
