Have read that flax seeds are giving away nutritional values that's good for the heart but when I saw something like cyanide intent when consumed in large amount, whoah...on the second thought there are lots of other stuffs naman to choose from. May cyanide na...may methane pa...this is a no-no for me.
Fruits that have a pit, such as cherries, apricots, apples, and bitter almonds from which almond oil and flavoring are made, contain small amounts of cyanohydrins such as mandelonitrile. Such molecules slowly release hydrogen cyanide. Some millipedes release hydrogen cyanide as a defense mechanism, as do certain insects such as some burnet moths. Hydrogen cyanide is contained in the exhaust of vehicles, in tobacco and wood smoke, and in smoke from burning nitrogen-containing plastics.
Hydrogen cyanide can also be used to purify water. This is so because it affects the respiration of the bacteria and other germs in the water.
