My mom always told me that the seeds were poisonous. When I became a teenager, other kids laughed at me when I told them that. Well, guess who's laughing now!? Suckers!
Good to know..... in case life gets too hard I know an easy and less painful way to end it all. heheheh
I did not know that... good thing I dont eat them, then!
Urk... That's one of those things that makes me think "Really?! I want to try it to see if it's true!" However, I feel it wouldn't be in my best interest to try it out if it were true. But hey! That's crazy. Thanks for sharing. Funny how an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but heaven forbid those little seedlings! Oh dear. Haha. I wonder how they discovered this? Hmmm. <3, ~*Akarui Mitsukai*~
@madishka - I dunno about easy and less painful.. Have you ever bit into an appleseed and tasted it? Uck. Haha. Not good. But yeah, I guess. Good thing you don't think things are too rough, I guess, though, right? <3, ~*Akarui Mitsukai*~
Really? AWESOME.
huh, and I thought an apple tree would grow in your belly if you ate too many...
@phuck_diz_shiz - There is a story of a man who died eating apple seeds, but he ate a whole cup of them at one time. Also, you have to chew them pretty good, otherwise they'll just come out the other side.
My science teacher in 6th grade taught me They block the electron transport chains in your mitochondria.
so weird. i used to eat them all the time.. i guess I never ate enough of them....
thats funny in a scary ironic way
But only if you chew and swallow and eat massive amounts. I'm not sure who sits around eating huge quantities of apple seeds though, it's not like they're particularly tasty!
I hate apples, any kind, in anything. I'm not a fruit person really.
It's true, but as others have said you have to injest a very large amount, and you have to masticate (chew) them, otherwise the cyanide compound will stay in the seed and pass through harmlessly. Cherry pits contain the same cyanide compound. Peach and apricot pits actually contain greater quantities of it, but those seeds are so large that almost no one eats them intentionally.
I always eat the seeds. I have an apple a day like the doctor ordered. Still alive.
You know, if you eat the seeds you'll have apple trees growing out your ears?
My evil grandmother used to say that..
yup, i knew that . . . that's why I no longer keep a bowl of them on the coffee table for guests.
Thanks for sharing - hopefully I'm never forced to eat a bucket full of apple seeds! Makes me think of the other ridiculous story of the fir that was growing in that man's lungs. Oh the stories they tell you growing up turn out to be real! LOL
holy crap batman!
I'm definitely eating those then!
:S!! scary!
i knew it. so we've been blending whole fruits with this industrial grade blender called a vita-mix. when my mom put apples in there, i was like nooooooo apple seeds are poisonous!!! my mother didn't believe me. -____-; so i had to show her some info from the interwebz
I'm so not eating them anymore. not that I ever really did.
O.O
<3
Hm... No wonder why I've never liked apples.
'An apple a day, keeps the doctor away'.
Now, who can argue with that logic ;P
Yup. I had a friend once who was strangely fascinated with death and she told me.

I am a botanist and won't tell you which apple variety has more cyanide in it. Because cancer requires that you have a potent poison, it was thought that apple seeds may help to cure cancer.
Did you know that almonds is in the same family as apples? Roseace. Bitter almonds (the distinctive smell of cyanide) are not always cyanide free and can kill you too. ------------------------------------------------------------
Did you know that true racism can kill you in the olden days? Lynching was one of the tools of racism to kill blacks. -------------------------------------------------------
I knew that they contained cyanide. But now I'm wondering- how many would one have to eat? hmmm
oh shit..
I didn't know people ate the seeds (except maybe on accident).
Haha. Interesting..
I was just on my xanga refreshing my feedback log page when I saw your xanga plug for your last post. All I have to say is.....it's a little..........radical and a bit biased. Bringing up comedy to me isn't a good example because of course they ALWAYS use racial jokes. It's common, but it's not at the point where it's as offensive as minstrel shows back in the day. There are white jokes, black jokes, asian jokes, spanish jokes, mexican jokes, etc......And i'm not advocating it except to say that people like Chris Rock clearly don't mean those jokes to permanently offend white people or else a lot more people would hate him. He's in a career where i'm sure he probably has more white friends than you might have. So I don't think he would do such a thing. And also...white woman were forced to be raped by black men? That may be true......but I mean....i'm pretty sure when you look at the ratio between black men rping white woman and white men raping black women...it's probably not even comparable. But in any case, rape is not a good thing in the first place. Who cares if BLACK men rape white women or if WHITE men rape black women......the point is women are raped and it doesn't matter what race one is. It's a BAD thing. Also, the reason why people feel so much more sympathy to minorty racisim is because they have and still are enduring it way longer than white people. Seriously...is the worst king of racisim they are getting is being called "pasty" they should count their blessings. Plus.....the only people that really call a white person those things are just other minority groups that highly appreciate their heritage and are upset at what happened to their ancestors in the past...or uneducated people.
To be honest......yes, calling a person those things based on color is racisim but definately not on the higher scales. I mean, I'm comepletly throwing away rape because it's not racisim it's just complete brutality on the person's end. I don't like to classify a whole race to raping other people.....raping someone takes a certain kind of mindset. Therefore it's theinidividual person that wanted to do the raping..not the whole people. But anyway.....name calling is mean and can get offensive, but it's apart of every day life for EVERYONE. When it turns into violence.....that is when alarms should ring. Now, it also depends where you live. In New York....racisim....doesn't happen that much. As you know...we have like a bajillion races and religions in this area. So, for the most part, everyone accepts one another. I'm black and I have friends of every race possible. (sorry i'm commenting you on my rp site...if you know what that means but yah..oh yes btw i'm a girl...forget the rp site name lol) hm....but yes....iono....i lvoe white people. In fact.....Oo I rather have a white boy as a boyfriend.....lol. But.....all i'm saying is, is that descrimination happens to everyone and it isn't fair to only defend one race only based on the fact that people don't think it exsists. Obviously it does. In my opinion...you could have approached that a little better because you sort of make it seem like white racisim deserves more attention than other ones...and in truth every type of racisim deserves attention. It should have been more like....."All racisim is offensive, however, I would like to speak about racisim against white people that is not as often spoken about" Worded like that....it makes for a better argument and you'd have less people crying about it. Don't compare other races.....just......stick to how white people are being oppressed and the fact that people should be more aware about it. >.> ok..i'm done lol
As far as I know, eating any fruit seeds can cause appendicitis.
ha. so there is an easy way to get rid of my evil brother
haha I had no idea.. interesting...
Yes. And peach pits, too.
Oh no, I love apples. How many is enough?
Yes. I actually learned this from an app on my iTouch.
ohmygoodnes really????!!! but sometimes i accidentally swallow them....i'm screwed.
Who eats the seeds these days? xD
Most things have some amount of poison, I'd guess.
@radicalramblings - That was a very interesting link... "learn something new every day," I suppose!
I didn't know... And I used to eat them -___- No wonder they had a weird taste... Thanks for the info... maybe you saved some lives
I've heard that, but wondered how many apple seeds would be fatal.
How much is too much. Apples are so interesting. You should read "The Botany of Desire".
Woah.
LOL. i guess that's another suicide method? LOL jk.... =T
Intense! Who would have realized?
Yikes!!
They are rough on the teeth too..
Apple seeds contain WHAT?! Why the heck is there cyanide in them?! Are they TRYING to kill us?! @QweenCat - Why would you want to eat something that would kill you?
Yes I did, and unless you plan on chewing on a bucket full of seeds, you should be in the clear
What?? I'm not sure that i will view apples the same way anymore!! =X
hmm.. i feel like seeing if other seed carry the same properties now.=] =P
Apple seads contain Cyanide. THey also contain another poisonous substance that IS POISONOUS.
However, Salt - which you eat every day contains Chlorine (poison) and Sodium (Poison). They are bound together and are harmless, the same with apple seeds. Eating too much of anything is a bad idea. Don't just beleive what you read, research it.
I've eaten them. They clear my sinuses. The ones from organic gala taste a bit like fresh coconut and lemongrass. You have to eat a bucket full of seeds to get sick. The seeds contain Vitamin B-17 which has cancer fighting properties. Great link here.

OMG REALLY? I didn't know that. I gotta stay away from apples. LOL
Freaky.
who eat apple seeds in the first place ?
and how many apple seed do you need to eat before you die ? or how many lbs
@GaMeGurLsH - @OperationOpenmind - @phuck_diz_shiz - http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/apples.asp
