>> “BTW, ALL apples contain cyanide.” <<

.
Utterly false!

The seeds of apples contain an alcaloid called Amygdalin that is sort of a chemical cousin to cyanide. That substance is the strongest cancer fighting chemical known to man. It also has been useful in dissolving cataracts in some people.

Amygdalin is a sugar and cyanide compound that breaks down into hydrogen cyanide in the body.
