FRUITLOOPERY

A man was found to have 25 times the acceptable level of cyanide in his blood after abnormally low blood oxygen levels were noted during routine surgery in 2015, according to a report in the British Medical Journal. The 67-year-old told doctors in Melbourne he had taken two teaspoonfuls of homemade apricot kernel extract and three Novodalin (herbal fruit kernel supplement tablets) every day for five years, supposedly to prevent cancer.
