• Question: Is it true there is a toxic fluid by the name of arsenic in apple seeds? What would happen if you ate a plentiful amount of apple seeds??? Thanks!

      There’s no arsenic in them, but there is cyanide – another very poisonous substance. However, you’d need to eat something like half a cup full of seeds (that’s a lot of apples!) to feel the effects!
