Doctor talks about the dangers of apple seeds
Apples are tasty and healthy fruits that should definitely be included in the diet of a person who tries to follow the rules of healthy eating.
But it is important to remember that in some cases such products can be harmful. In particular, it is in the seeds of the fruit that there is a substance that can lead to death.
Therapist Svetlana Kuprina spoke about this in more detail, writes the publication Izvestia .
She stressed that you can't eat the seeds with the pulp.
“They contain amygdalin glycoside, which, under the influence of enzymes, is transformed into hydrogen cyanide,” the doctor said.
She also noted that if an adult consumes too much of the substance (half a glass of seeds), there is a high risk of death.
You shouldn't overdo it with apples either. It's enough to eat up to two large fruits a day. In this case, the body will receive all the necessary benefits.
In this case, you need to pay attention to the appearance of the fruit. If there are cracks, dents, then you should not eat such products. There is a risk that infections multiply in apples, which can lead to poisoning.
