Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Don't eat the apple seeds. Their content can turn into cyanide during digestion.
You would need to eat a lot of seeds, estimated over 150, to do harm.

nah
I can't find an estimate right now, but you would have to eat at least a big handful of seeds, while making sure you grind them up in your mouth. It's not wise to worry about this.
You would have to ingest an ungodly amount in one sitting, it’s a non-issue.
And yet there’s no documented cases of it happening…. Why…?
You people are being alarmists over something your body can naturally remove. It’s a non-issue, There’s a reason why you can’t find a source to corroborate anything you’ve stated here.
Unless you want to eat them like peanuts and masticate them beyond all recognition, no one is at risk dude.
Even with varieties containing the highest amount, kids would still need to be eating nearly 20 or so cores, so the likelihood of poisoning is only a concern for those who might eat that much all at once.
The likelihood for the average person is being extremely low, since extremely few people will eat that much all at once.
No thanks. I eat the whole apple daily.
Same.
So do I - apples generally have very few seeds. I don't eat the stem though.
How else am I supposed to built up a tolerance for cyanide if I don't microdose insignificant amounts daily?
