Cyanide is a toxic poison – Why doesnt it hurt a person that consumes it?

There is another important enzyme called “rhodanese”, which we shall identify as the “protecting enzyme”. (Since about 1965, rhodanese has been identified in the technical literature as thiosulfate transulfurase.) The reason is that it has the ability to neutralize cyanide by converting it instantly into by-products that actually are beneficial and essential to health. This enzyme is found in great quantities in every part of the body EXCEPT the cancer cell which, consequently, is not protected. However, locked as it is in this natural state, it is completely inert chemically and has absolutely no effect on living tissue.
