69...way too much cyanide in 69 of them for anyone to survive

**Powderguy** · 02-25-10, 11:45 PM

I've heard cyanide is found in apple seeds. How many apple seeds would it take to kill you?

It depends on how much you weigh.

**THE PROFIT** · 02-25-10, 11:46 PM

I didn't know you could OD on appleseeds. Depends on whether you have an allergy to appleseeds. There is no correct answer to this question

**Arsenal** · 02-25-10, 11:47 PM

I always heard you would most likely die from overeating before you died from the trace amounts of cyanide in the appleseeds.

Information is varied but "between half a cup to a full cup"and they would have to eat them all at once and overload their system.

I weigh 280. It has to be the right dosage (5mg).

**odusmykal** · 02-25-10, 11:49 PM

Are you chewing them, or swallowing them whole?.

Thank you sir.

**tltaylor89** · 02-25-10, 11:52 PM

it's not cyanide found in apple seeds. What is found is a chemical called a cyanogenic glycoside. This chemical is a sugar bound to other molecules - in the case of the apple, it has a cyanide molecule attached. When the body breaks this down, the cyanide is released into the system where it can cause it's toxic symptoms. At 5 milligrams of cyanide per kilogram of mass in your body, it can even kill you.

**whatsgood5** · 02-25-10, 11:53 PM

So you're telling me 69 seeds isn't between "half a cup to a full cup"?

Bullshit.

Haha you gonna kill yourself dude? I mean it'd be sort of funny, because you would have tricked these guys into assisting you in suicide, but you're also a pretty cool dude so it'd be sad at the same time...

You would have to concentrate the poison this can be done by putting the seeds into a extractor

**Tree Rollins** · 02-26-10, 12:02 AM

You weigh 280. It has to be the right dosage. I'd say 5mg.

**drewdown88** · 02-26-10, 12:09 AM

I'm in the process of making cranberry-apple wine, and the way it's fermenting right now I bet a cup would have me on the toilet for days
