Hunza was an independent principality for 900 years. The British gained control of Hunza and the neighbouring valley of Nagar after the Hunza-Naga Campaign in 1891, as the British suspected Russian involvement "with the Rulers of the petty States on the northern boundary of Kashmir;"[1]. The Tham (Chief/Mir) of Hunza escaped to China.

The Hunza Apricot Pit, Vitamin B-17 and the Cancer Cure Myth
The Hunza people did grow apricots and eat the apricot kernel of the apricot pit. The apricot kernel does indeed contain vitamin B-17, and the people may have had a low incidence of cancer, but the apricot had nothing to do with the cancer rate in the Hunza people. Vitamin B-17 has never been shown to prevent or cure cancer. The dead Hunzakuts were never examined by anyone to verify the cause of death. It was never proven that they had a low incidence of cancer.
