Kazakhstan's Health Minister Warns: Apricot Kernels Pose Serious Health Risks
Kasachstan's Health Minister, Maulen Taytenova, has issued a warning to the public about the consumption of apricot kernels. The warning comes amidst reports of potential health risks associated with this product.
Taytenova, not 'Zarema Ten' as previously misreported, cautioned citizens against eating apricot kernels. The kernels contain amygdalin, which can be converted into hydrogen cyanide in the body, posing a significant health risk. Additionally, sulfur dioxide used to preserve apricots can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. While apricots themselves are nutritious, systematic consumption of their kernels is discouraged due to these health concerns. Furthermore, dried apricots should be consumed in moderation due to their high sugar content.
In summary, Kasachstan's Health Minister Maulen Taytenova has warned against consuming apricot kernels due to the potential for cyanide poisoning and allergic reactions from sulfur dioxide. Dried apricots should also be consumed cautiously due to their high sugar content. The public is advised to heed these warnings for their own health and safety.
