This article is in a supplement issue and does not appear to be MEDLINE indexed, which is a WP:REDFLAG. I'd ignore it unless this changes. Alexbrn (talk) 05:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alt med studies from China have a very poor reputation. Guy (Help!) 09:32, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How are we supposed to take seriously that this journal has any real peer review when it will publish an article with so many grammatical errors? Yobol (talk) 19:16, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of Opening Paragraph

The opening paragraph seems to state that apricot kernels/pits are the same thing as bitter almonds; in fact, though apricots and almonds belong to the same genus, they are different species. The Wikipedia articles on apricots and almonds both bear this out. This article on amygdalin is, therefore, inconsistent with other related articles in Wikipedia.

I can't speak for other languages, but for English, I can't find any cases where apricot pits were ever referred to as bitter almonds. The opening paragraph should be cleaned up and should avoid conflating different seeds and fruits which contain amygdalin. 98.172.76.114 (talk) 22:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC) R. Poole[reply]

It turns out the Laetrile and History sections of this article also disagree with the opening paragraph, since the species names are given for the apricot and the bitter almond, respectively, in those two sections. 98.172.76.114 (talk) 22:39, 14 March 2016 (UTC) R. Poole[reply]
