  • Q: So cyanides are man-made substances made in laboratories, right?

    A: Oh, you are greatly mistaken! Cyanides are substances consisting of carbon and nitrogen, which are abundant in nature. They are present in beans, rice, and even in manioc in the form of linamarin and lotaustralin. We should not leave out bitter almonds - the more bitter, the higher the content of cyanide!

  • Q: What does it mean cyanides being acutely toxic? Should I be worried?

    A: That means that if cyanides get into your body and you survive, the cyanide will eventually completely leave the body. Cyanides are not stable compounds and therefore do not remain or accumulate in the human body. They are also not carcinogenic, so long-term exposure to small doses has no effect on humans. You cant say that about heavy metals, PCBs, or Asbestos.
