Apple seeds contain a cyanide compound. Don't eat them.
Apples are very good for you -- I've eaten
one every day for the last 30 years -- but
I'm careful NOT to eat any of the seeds.
Why? Because apple seeds contain a cyanide
compound that could make you very, very sick
if you ate enough of them.
However, if you feel compelled to eat apple
seeds, then eat them whole. Don't chew them
and don't grind them. The whole seeds will
pass though your intestinal tract as roughage,
and cause no harm. But when you chew them or
grind them, the seeds release the cyanide
into your system.
Do a Search on "The dangers of apple seeds."
I suggest you all keep eating an apple every
day; more than one, if you like. But pass on
the seeds.
Blessings,
Owen
