Tamukha,
The Hunza people grow sweet and bitter varieties of apricot. The variety you are eating is almost certainly sweet since the bitter variety is "restricted" in the marketplace. However some of us may have a bitter variety growing in our backyard, or we may be wildcrafting various Malus and Prunus plants, both sweet and bitter and blending them in our Vitamixers and juicers s

1508. Re: Apple Seeds
This cyanide question may not be as simple as it sounds. Apples are of the Genus Malus, and apricots of the Genus Prunus. Then there are different varieties of apricots, some with bitter seeds, and some sweet that can be used for flower or oil.. same with almonds. It's complicated..

I eat apples (Malus domestica) with their seeds (whole food style), chewed or juiced.. I like the taste.. no problems.
I've also eaten the seeds from related fruit trees (Genus: Malus) and bushes like crabapple (not a lot) and beach plumb. Beach plumbs are the size of a grape with relatively large pits which are time consuming to remove so I tried juicing them with the pits.. about a quart,

Hi heal_me_o_lord,
You may be familiar with the journal 'Diabetes Spectrum' ?
I just skimmed thru the topics and didn't realize there may be increased requirements for protein for diabetics depending on type, metabolism specifics, diet etc.. It's a good study for me, who eats about 6% calories from protein.

Another idea.. since she likes melon you might try adding some blended rind (short of the outermost skin?). It is loaded with soft (and nutritious) fiber.
Also does she like coconut? It might have some of the properties of mineral oil and is high in fiber.
