iodine in apple seeds?

I just heard that someone who is very health conscious and likes getting all her nutrients from whole foods instead of supplements eats the seeds of one apple daily.She claims that that takes care of her daily iodine requirements .She had thyroid problems years ago and now is fine.Has anyone heard if here is any basis to this?

Oil extracted from apple seeds contains iodine:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20128637 "  the extracted oils exhibited an iodine value of 94.14-101.15 g I/100 g oil "

I notice that the info clear at the bottom says that The designation "--" was chosen to represent those nutrients for which there was no measurement included in the ESHA foods database.

This is how the iodine is marked, not with 0.00. So iodine was not measured.JudyThey that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Iodine Values of Oils does not mean iodine content

" Iodine value (IV) is a measure of the total number of double bonds present in

fats and oils. It is generally expressed in terms of " number of grams of iodine

that will react with the double bonds in 100 grams of fats or oils " . A high IV

oil contains a greater number of double bonds than a low IV oil. Edible oils

with high iodine value are usually less stable and more susceptible to

oxidation.... "

What they contain that people think is poisonous is Vitamin B17, also called

amygdalin, which when extracted and concentrated is called laetrile. Anything

in overdose can kill you, including water. For any quantity of aspirin or

iodine you are willing to take, I am willing to take an equal quantity of

laetrile and you will overdose long before me.

http://cancertutor.com/Cancer/Laetrile.html

Apple seeds are perfectly safe to eat in reasonable amounts as are apricot and

peach pits, all of which contain the Vitamin B17 that frightens people; it is an

irrational fear just as is the fear of iodine irrational.

Just eat the seeds when you eat an apple and your health will be the better for

it, but don't look to them as a source of iodine.

Absolutely true! I was going to type the same thing myself! When I did the Gerson Therapy,along with organic food and juices, and thyroid and iodine, I also took Laetrile (B17,amygdalin) for many years. I would even buy the apricot kernals and eat a few a day when the Laetrile was not available. I have a great cookbook that utilizes apricot/apple seeds , its called The Little Cyanide Cookbook. Because the small amount of cyanide in the seeds, goes right to the cancer cells and kills them! Very interesting! =-)

The laetrile botched trials is why Ralph Moss left Sloan-Kettering back in the 70's and is written about in his book "The Cancer Industry".LinnOn Sep 14, 2010, at 8:25 PM, nlog10 wrote:

Yes! And another wonderful book on the laetrile story and its suppression is World Without Cancer!

Very interesting subject. I have always read that apple seeds were poisonous,

and that some seeds, like almond, contain leatril, a supposedly anti cancer

agent.

There are lots of things people sometimes call poisonous until we know better,

so who is to say for sure?

Poisonous or not, I love crunching on those apple seeds and grind them right up

with the apples in my juicer. I am 66 and still alive!

Good for you! The almond like flavour the apple seeds have, is the cyanide/amygdalin, but isn't bad for us, infact is very bad for cancer cells. ( why do I have the feeling soon is going to ask us to take this to the OT list? =-)

I'm of the belief that what is questionable in apple seeds is a kind of cyanide;

http://chemistry.about.com/b/2007/09/12/yes-apple-seeds-and-cherry-pits-are-pois\

onous.htm

those with low iodine-or impaired ability to get it into the cells-might have a

more difficult time detoxifying from the 'cyanogenic glycosides " .
