Cyanide Toxicity of Freshly Prepared Smoothies and Juices Frequently Consumed

Quote:

Unpasteurized almond milk and raw flax seeds were the major sources of TCN in drinks. With the increased demand for raw and natural foods, there is a potential sublethal exposure of TCN by consumers.

But cassava, which I've seen popping up in SNACK foods, means we might be dealing with something that can get actually lethal.

I avoid flaxseeds now, but when I ate them my cheeks would flush within minutes of consuming them - round, red splotches like clown makeup. I'm quite "lucky" that I flush or get hives from many anti-nutrients so I can stop eating them before they can cause much damage. This is why I prepare 99% of my food from single real-food ingredients at home.

Likewise, I had my rosacea, which calmed down and disappeared when I paid attention to seed oils. The first indicator that good fats made a dramatic difference.
