Antibiotics in peaches: myth or reality?
Photo is illustrative in nature. From open sources.
Peaches are one of the most popular fruits of the summer season. They are rich in vitamins and minerals and are high in water, making them a great choice for hydrating your body during hot weather. But do peaches contain antibiotics?
There is a common myth that peaches containantibiotics . This myth arose due to the presence in peaches of a substance called amygdalin. Amygdalin is present not only in peaches, but also in other stone fruits such as apricots and cherries.
Amygdalin can be converted to hydrogen cyanide, which is poisonous to humans at high concentrations. However, to get a poisonous dose of hydrogen cyanide, you need to eat a very large number of peaches - about 100 at a time.
It is also worth noting that amygdalin is not an antibiotic and does not have properties that can fight infections. Therefore, the claim that peaches contain antibiotics is a myth.
Despite this, peaches are still a healthy and nutritious food that can be eaten. They are high in vitamin C, potassium, and other health -promoting nutrients .
In conclusion, we can say that the myth that peaches contain antibiotics has no scientific basis. But that doesn't mean that peaches aren't healthy. They can still be part of a healthy diet and help keep the body in good shape.
