I suspect if we derived olive oil or avocado oil from the seeds, those would be just as bad as any other seed oil.

Wheat is seed, too.
Seeds have nutrients to help the baby plant grow, but also poisons:
Quote:
Apple and crabapple seeds (and seeds of some other fruits, like cherries, peaches, apricots) contain amygdalin, an organic cyanide and sugar compound that degrades into hydrogen cyanide (HCN) when metabolized. Cyanide itself is a poison that kills by denying blood the ability to carry oxygen and thereby causes its victims to die. It's not an urban legend that apple seeds contain cyanide; even Snopes.com has an article about it. "The Dr. Oz Show" did an episode in which they talked about the amount of arsenic in children's apple juice.
Pick your own: seeds and toxins
