Answers:
"Apple seeds from a single apple that are swallowed whole or chewed and eaten in such small quantities are harmless. A single case of fatal cyanide poisoning has been documented in an adult who chewed and swallowed a cup of apple seeds.
Children will be affected by a smaller amount of apple seeds than adults. According to Shirley Corriher's book, CookWise, 15 apricot kernels, which also contain cyanide, can kill a child. Of course, it is best not to consume any apple seeds or apricot kernels. If you are juicing apples or cooking apples to make apple butter, it would be prudent to remove the seed pocket first.
Other bad seeds
Apple seeds – black seeds inside core pocket
Apricot kernels – the kernel inside the pit is poisonous
Cherries – the stone
Nectarine pits – kernel inside the pit
Peach pits – kernel inside the pit
Plums – the kernel inside the pit

no
silly goose
no i dont thnk so cause i have eaten many and i am still here yes they are. more so an issue if you are a kid. if you are say making juice, then you are safest to remove the seeds, and if you are say boiling or baking, you are to do the same. they release cyanide. so the more seeds present, the more the poison. same is true of apricot seeds among others.
noone can die from eating apple seeds ive eaten some myself and im still kickin and breathing. but im not sure on pear seeds though most likely not
Maybe if you get choked on one.maybe Of course you can choke on the seeds or one can slip down your throut and you might not mean to and chances are you might die.
STAY PRINCY!!!
Apple seeds contain prunasin a chemical that forms cyanide. You would probably vomit before you could poison yourself eating the huge number of seeds required to become ill. So many apples and pears are consumed every day and we never hear of anyone getting sick let alone dying. It is probably best to worry about something else. No, unless:
1. You choke on 1 of them
2. Someone injected them with deathly mold
3. You thought they were those nose pills, stuck it up your nose, and it went up to your brain and injured it fatally
