Decoding B1617.2 (BJ interviews) - looks like a patent or a legislative article number but better to keep things simple and precise. Glenda from the other place gets full marks for this one. I think this refers to there being 2 elements to the code. So 2 elements to B1617.
When searching for peer reviewed articles it is always better to look for the clinical name not common name. You can find a lot more. How about one part being Amygdalin which is a cyanogenic glycoside. What does Amygdalin do? Study review below: "anti-tumor, anti-fibrotic,... 
anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunomodulatory, anti-atherosclerosis, ameliorating digestive system and reproductive system, improving neurodegeneration and myocardial hypertrophy, as well as reducing blood glucose." That is quite a list! So if we cannot have Apricot Kernels...
Where else can we find it? Seeds: apples, peaches, cherries, plums and prunes. Berries: strawberries, blueberries, huckleberries and cranberries. Shoots, sprouts, leafy greens, lima beans, chickpeas, and even GREEN PEAS! Nutrition from real food is essential. An apple a day...
So that leaves dimethylglycine or DMG. It is an amino acid and occurs in tiny amounts in the body as a fleeting by-product of the production of Choline. Banned in the Chicago in the 1980's on grounds it was an unsafe food additive. Used to treat according to WebMd:
ADHD, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), allergies, respiratory disorders, pain and swelling (inflammation), cancer, alcoholism, and drug addiction. The presence of dimethylglycine is used as a marker to measure the uptake of Choline in diet. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03…
Why is that important in this case? Choline levels can be dramatically reduced by exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors (the action of organophosphates), impacting on the levels of Dimethylglycine production and other essential nutrients for cell health. drugs.com/drug-class/cho…
Which begs the question, do these drug types really help in the treatment of Dementia? dementia.org/medications-fo…. Moving on. Where can we obtain both elements to increase our levels? Choline is obtained largely from meat, fish, dairy, eggs and found in fruits and vegetables.
Foods with high dimethylglycine content are liver and beans, cereals, grains, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Nutrients are always better obtained from whole foods - you never know what some supplements are packed with. Happy eating. Other decodes welcome as always!
As a footnote, it may have been easier to say Choline, except the corresponding number for that essential nutrient is a bit bonkers and probably quite hard to remember! It's chemical formula is C5H14NO+... The important bit is that dimethylglycine is a bi-product of choline.
.2 could also be interpreted as "point to" the elements, as in 👈👈... a double meaning.
