Most seeds in the family Rosaceae, mainly from the genus malus (Apples), pyrus (Pears) and prunus (Cherries, almonds, etc.) among others. Sweet almonds and sweet apricots still have the amygdalin. You'd have to eat several bushels of almonds and a little less than that in sweet aps. The seeds aren't anywhere near as bad in Rubus (Raspberry, blackberry, thimbleberry, boysenberry, etc) and Fragaria (Strawberry). Yes, all of the fruits listed are related albeit somewhat distantly, in the rose family.

[@asuskkj]

I have been eating cheery pit kernels and bitter almonds and even peach kernels which are very bitter but i am still alive and healthy, the reason i have been eating its contains elements which are anti-cancer and medical science does not tell. Bitter almonds and cherry pits contain a compound called amygdalin, which is often referred to as vitamin B17. Amygdalin can release cyanide when metabolized in the body, and it has been associated with some alternative cancer treatments. However, its potential anticancer properties are controversial, as scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating cancer is limited and its safety is a concern due to the release of toxic cyanide.

If this can dissolve the gold, can you re-extract that gold from the mixture? Let's say if you were trying to remove gold from circuit board parts, and wanted to collect the gold into one mass.

[@ado1035]

It's called cyanide leaching or gold cyanidation. You use cyanide to extract gold or other precious metals from minerals with low content of said metals. Its use in mining often causes vast damage to the environment, but it works because it's relatively easy to extract the metals from the solution. So I guess it should work with circuit boards, too.

oh, this cyanide tastes just awful.... maybe just one more little bite.

Holy shit, is this a Steve MRE reference?

[@celticmadien2]

I love Steve1989

[@TheQueendom-Au]

And what was the purpose of disolving the gold?

[@GRBtutorials]

To prove it’s possible to use cherry pits to dissolve gold.

[@perchy22]

The edits on this video were a very nice added touch!

[@jordynspencer6577]

I've watched your videos since the bee farm and before I love your voice and the way you go about mistakes and experiments.

[@PaulSteMarie]

Not *all* stone fruits. Sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis) lack the cyanogenic glycosides, which is why we can munch down almonds..

[@paulfoss5385]

While they contain substantially less of that compound, they don't lack it entirely.

[@seanhampson4126]

can you recover the gold and cyanide after dissolving? If so how large are your losses for each?

[@NTMA11]

yes. massive loss of cyanide, no loss of gold

[@evok_trip_toke]

I mean he would loose a tiny bit of gold. he always does whenever he recovers it. Im just wondering if he would he able to recover the tiny amount that the gold leaf put into it with the little black carbon pellets he uses.

[@evok_trip_toke]

I feel like recovering that tiny tiny amount of gold would be really hard.

[@maxximumb]

What he usually does is collect all the gold experiments he's done in the last few months and then refines the gold out in one go, this will minimise the losses.

[@soniccookie655]

Not sure about with cyanide, but he usually just adds a chemical that makes it impossible for the gold to be dissolved anymore.

Been watching Cody ever since the greenhouse plants with no soil but water and using sunlight to charge car battery. Never seems to bored me but very interesting ideas.

Cydane and happines has to make a sort with you

[@DaHaiZhu]

Cody's version of a Cynide and Happiness short.

[@isaacwillson8617]

His lab experiments do work, I followed his examples for the time machine he had on a previous video post and it worked. So far I just use the time machine to trade stocks and it has worked very well for me. I guess KZbin made the video vanish because it is no longer viewable. But I’m glad I took the opportunity to make my time machine when I had the chance.

[@hattusilli2225]

Gold companies might need you and your cherry pits

[@lilithaodi8404]

whats the song in the time lapse bit at 8:19?

[@rokibeeskiroodroki9018]

Misread the title as dissolving gold with cat piss

[@OceanBagel]

Wait, is cyanide named after the color cyan?

[@SC2Asulf]

Or cyan named after cyanide? *mindblown*

[@mamupelu565]

should've named it prussy

[@almosthuman4457]

Or the lack there of.

[@mouija1450]

Prussian blue is also a pigment used in artist paints. The most prominent example is Van Gogh's Starry Night. I had no idea how it was made. Thanks Cody!

[@jamesonsan8539]

I love this video editing. super nifty made me smile more than I thought it would. Really appreciate your videos!

[@kadenlarson9992]

almond extract smells like cherries, cherry pits small like roasted almonds, huh

[@lorelei275]

Both almonds and cherries are in the same botanical family, and almonds are basically the insides of a “cherry” pit, so kinda cool their smells would be related...

[@pseudomemes5267]

Almond extract contains benzaldehyde which when an acid is present smells and tastes like cherry

[@stevewhite5045]

I thought the almond/cherry-ness was from the benzaldehyde, (which I guess he explained with the amygdalin part)

[@James.Stark.Ben.Edition]

Wait, you can't eat cherry pits? I've been doing it for years. I'm serious. I eat plum seeds and strawberry cores too. They're safe right? I knew about apple seeds but not about cherry pits.

[@maialeisz9969]

the amount is to small to kill you.

[@maialeisz9969]

unless you ate HUNDREDS of chary pits at a time.

[@4450krank]

As he says in the video they are in a very hard shell so on less you chew them you should be fine as it will just pass right thru you, ofc there is no reason to take that chance, so i wouldnt keep doing it if i were you.

[@Sleepy-SMAB]

The only one that you mentioned that is safe is "Strawberry Cores"

[@Sleepy-SMAB]

The dose is the poison.
