Apple Seeds

A question asked on the NutritionData blog (is it dangerous to eat apple seeds?) is close to my heart, since I habitually eat the entire apple, including the core. Extra fiber, you know.

The answer given is that since apple seeds do contain small amounts of cyanide, it's not a great idea to eat them, but assuming one experiences no ill effects, one presumably is not getting more cyanide than ones system can safely process.

So it won't make you sick, unless it makes you sick!

Sounds good to me.
