You would need to finely chew and eat about 200
apple seeds, or about 40
apple cores, to receive a fatal dose. The Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR) says that exposure to even small amounts of cyanide
can be
dangerous. Cyanide
can harm the heart and brain, and even lead to coma and death.You won’t die from eating 18 apples. But if you take out the seeds from those 18 apples, smash them to pieces, chew them thoroughly, and swallow them, then there is a possibility that you will die because apple seeds contain cyanide. Just like that!
