Answer 2

They don't sell it because it is cyanide. People who try to promotie and sell it call it b17 to disguise the fact that it is poison. Sounds evil.
YouTube isn't exactly a reliable source for serious information.

""Moreover, laetrile has been banned by the FDA because of the risk of poisoning from its cyanide content." (Fetrow)

"It is also sometimes referred to as vitamin B17, although it is definitely not a vitamin." (Tyler)

There is NO vitamin B17. This 'product' is NOT a vitamin.

Better than B 17 and cheaper.
