The body uses beta-glucosidase to break the bonds of the components in vitamin B17, and releases its cyanide and benzaldyhide [LOL?] in the digestive tract. Healthy cells contain the rhodanese enzyme that protects them against the cyanide. Rhodanese combines the cyanide with sulfur and renders it harmless.[4][5] Cancer cells contain beta-glucosidase and do not contain this protective enzyme, which leaves and other harmful organisms vulnerable to the cyanide.
