Bitter almond is generally used as medicine, and its toxicity is several times higher than that of ordinary sweet almond. However, the toxic side effects of sweet almonds should not be underestimated. Many ancient Chinese medicine books record that almonds are "slightly toxic" and "toxic". It is found that the toxicity of almond comes from amygdalin, which can produce hydrocyanic acid through the action of enzymes in vivo. Excessive consumption of almonds can cause hydrocyanic acid poisoning, and in severe cases, it can inhibit the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata and lead to death.
