4). Prevents Against Cancer :-

A research says that the seeds of the apricot fruit contain a substance called laetrile, which may be helpful in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Laetrile is also known as Vitamin B17. In the year 1920s, the idea was found for the first time. The idea was that the substance extracted from apricot seeds can reduce tumors. This idea was developed by Dr. Ernst Krebb, a doctor from San Francisco. On further studies and researches, he found that using amygdalin, an extract obtained from apricot seed kernels could be too dangerous for humans to use. Twenty years later, a safer version of this substance was synthesised.

There are four substances present in amygdalin – two types of glucose, benzaldehyde, and cyanide. Of course, it is known that free or released pure molecules of benzaldehyde and cyanide are poisonous only. Many foods that contain cyanide are safe to be consumed as this substance is locked as a component of another molecule.

Rhodanese enzyme present in normal cells, can capture cyanide molecules that are free and make them harmless by binding them with sulfur. In this state, when the cyanide is bound to sulfur, it gets converted to a neutral substance known as cyanate. It will then be able to pass through the urine easily without causing any harm to the normal cells.

A very good property of any massage oil is that it should get absorbed quickly and easily by the skin.
