Caution Apple seeds are poisonous
Did you know?
The amygdalin (vitamin B17) present in apple seeds is thought to be an anti-cancer agent. A clinical study published in "New England Medical Journal" showed that amygdalin was not only ineffective in the treatment of cancer, but its use could actually be harmful to health. Thus, these claims were eliminated.
Every day an apple meal is very beneficial in terms of health, but does it mean you have to eat the seeds of this hand? The apple seeds are in the center of the apple. We usually avoid eating this region, which is also called the core of the flesh. However, some people especially eat apple seeds, believing that the apple seeds they hear from their environment are healthy.
Apple seeds are poisonous
Yes, the reason is that amygdalin, which is naturally found in apple seeds, is harmful to humans. Amygdaline is a cyanogenic glycoside, a compound of cyanide that can be fatal to humans. The amygdalin substance reacts with the beta-glucosidase enzyme in the body and forms hydrogen cyanide (HCN) which is toxic to humans. Hydrogen cyanide exposure is associated with asphyxia and death. Hydrogen cyanide is known to cause systemic poisoning, often leading to severe cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Nausea, drowsiness and headache are the most common side effects of hydrogen cyanide exposure.
It is important to state the dose for human to get poisoned.
Or else there is no difference from saying things like the deadly dihydrogen monoxide, which may cause severe burns and may cause suffocation.
