    Almonds are able to fight tumors. Some scholars believe that cancer cells contain a large amount of β-glucosidase, which can hydrolyze amygdalin to produce hydrocyanic acid (HCN), benzaldehyde and glucose. Due to the lack of thionitrile generating enzymes in cancer cells, this enzyme has a detoxifying effect on HCN, making HCN into non-toxic thionitriles, while normal cells lack β-glucosidase and contain a large amount of thionitrile generating enzymes. Amygdalin can help the body trypsin to digest the transparent mucin membrane of cancer cells, make the white blood cells in the body more accessible to the cancer cells, and engulf the cancer cells.
