Answer:
Apples contain a compound called amygdalin in their seeds, which is a cyanide-and-sugar based molecule. If the seed is chewed or otherwise broken, human or animal enzymes come into contact with the amygdalin and effectively cut off the sugar part of the molecule.

Answer:
The number of seeds per apple varies, but an apple with eight seeds, therefore, contains about 3. 92 milligrams of cyanide. A person weighing 70 kilograms would need to eat 143 seeds to reach the lethal dose.
