Why the glucose in foods can reduces the toxicity of cyanide potassium if it was added? There is a case that says if you eat pudding with cyanide potassium you can survive...I searched informations about the properties but did not find anything.

If this is true I would say that the cyanide reacts with the open chain form of glucose, aldehyde at one end, hydroxy at the other, to give a cyanohydrin from the aldehyde.

why do you think like that? you mean cyanohydrine is not toxic anymore?

Why should I not think like this? You can easily form sugar cyanohydrins.
Why should the cyanohydrin be toxic? If it is certainly now where near as toxic as cyanide itself. The glucose cyanohydrin may also eliminate water to give the unsaturated nitrile.
Instead of criticism let's read  your answer

Then, how can relating with the cells, because "The result is disruption of the cell's breathing process. " but there is anaerobic and aerobic respiration. Potassium cyanide  block the aerobic and the glucose help on the anaerobic?

What exactly is the cyanide doing with the glucose? It forms a cyanohydrin. Thus removing the toxicity of the cyanide.
This reaction is a standard method for chain elongation of sugars.
