Solution

Dear student.

One should not eat apple seeds, as it may act as lethal. A substance called amygdalin is present in apple seed, which when comes with digestive enzymes, releases cyanide. Cyanide in high concentration is lethal to humans and may affect heart and brain, which may lead to coma and death.
