Forget about an apple a day keeping the doctor away! An apricot a day keeps the doctor away actually! Of course, I'm joking; the heavenly aromatic and tasty apricots (Prunus armeniaca) are just as good as the apples. You can eat them fresh, dry, or in various jellies or compotes.
Another very important part of the apricot is the seed, which contains significant amounts of amygdalin (AKA vitamin B17 or laetrile). There is ample evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy, beriberi, pellagra and rickets - and that the lack of this nutrient in western diets is contributing to the high cancer rates. An excellent source of information on this subject is the book World Without Cancer by G. Edward Griffin, which is still in print and available from several sources. It's also available as a free download in pdf format, and also in text format in a few places.
Prior to the internet, it was difficult to find sources to buy the seeds, and especially B17 capsules and tablets, but now they are much easier to find. If you wish to add them to your diet, here is an excellent source. I've bought from them for years and have never been disappointed.
Thanks for your comment. I remember eating a lot of apricot kernels as a child. I didn't include this information because high doses of amygdalin can cause cyanide toxicity. I am poor and cannot afford lawyers in the event that someone is poisoned as a result of following my advice and eating kernels. People are now suing for anything, so I must be cautious. Of course, many common medicines are far more dangerous, but pharmaceutical companies have enough cash to pay for lawsuits....
