* The Food Standards Agency (UK) has advised people to take no more than two bitter apricot kernels a day. Higher doses could be dangerous for human health. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), it has received reports from various parts of the world of people overdosing with apricot seeds.
* Cyanogenic glycosides, as the name suggests, contains cyanide attached to a sugar molecule. When this compound is acted on by an enzyme, the sugar molecule is cleaved off, leaving behind the well known poison, cyanide. The truth is if you were to seeds in large quantities, they could kill you, but in most cases, the seeds pass through the digestive system without releasing significant amounts of cyanide unless you chew on them to release the toxin. Even if some poison is released from the seeds, your body has the capability of neutralizing small amounts of cyanide and you probably wouldn't experience serious effects unless you were to eat seeds in very high amounts. Unfortunately, a small child or a pet may not be so lucky. It might not take a large number of seeds to cause symptoms in a child or pet which means you should avoid giving your pets apples unless you remove the seeds. The same applies to children. Seeds from Apples, peaches, cherries, and raspberries and the root of cassave contains Cyanogenic glycosides .
