Allegedly I was reading accounts from people who are lactose intolerant.
 
@VNagato
 
That would be my guess.

@BarryFromMars @The CLaUD  
I would have to look this up, but my guess is that the pathogens in the raw milk help deal with/makes it easier to digest lactose. This is saying if that rumor is true of course.

@BarryFromMars  
Well since pasturizing milk dosen’t add lactose to it, I’m gonna go ahead and say that one probably isn’t true

@VNagato
 
Yeah, allergens/characteristics/etc. I’ve also heard that people who are lactose intolerant, can drink raw milk for some reason.

@The CLaUD  
Quite glad that I made it sound overly intense by accident, since I got to read that, lmao. Thanks :D

@VNagato  
I know what you meant, but the way you said that made it sound way more intense then you intended…
 
“MOM! YOU GOTTA DRINK THE MILK!”  
“I-I can’t, the milk is too strong! I just can’t handle it!”

@Pagan @The CLaUD  
It depends on each person I suppose, but there is a cautionary on eating too much seeds. Eating just a few usually won’t hurt but in large amounts, it’ll probably give you poisoning. In normal/most cases, eating it daily shouldn’t do much.
 
@BarryFromMars  
Again, every person is different, if it’s just the milk, pasteurization is supposed to kill pathogens to ensure safe consumption. Raw milk should be fine for some people, but on the other hand, some people can’t handle it.

@BarryFromMars  
I think it was probably the milk that did it to her, since the latter isn’t quite how that kind of thing works.

@Pagan
 
Good to know.
 
@The CLaUD
 
Raw milk is another touchy subject, I haven’t had any lately but some states in North America do sell it in grocery stores. Pennsylvania, where I live, is one state that has it both in stores and available directly from farms. I bought it from a nearby farm and never had an issue with it personally though my Mom said she did (though I wonder if it’s really the milk or if it’s like the milk let her know she had a problem in the first place that other food was keeping hidden, so to speak…)

If given the chance, a (real) pony will eat apples until they make themselves sick. And by “sick” I mean “pooping water all day.”

@Pagan  
Well either way, apple seeds do contain cyanide, so you must simply have a stronger liver then the person I know who was getting cyanide poisoning…

@The CLaUD  
@BarryFromMars
 
I never heard of the cyanide thing before but I eat 3 apples a day once in the morning once in the afternoon and once in the evening I eat the entire thing but the stem I have done this since I was 10 I am 23 years old and have had no problems.

@archestereo
 
I’m saying maybe apple seeds don’t have the same effect on everyone, or at least to the same degree…? I really don’t know.

@BarryFromMars
 
…how can you be allergic to something that’s already toxic?

@The CLaUD
 
@Durabiznik
 
Like mentioned earlier, what if it’s at least partially an allergen thing?

@The CLaUD
 
Allow me to counter your bit of anecdotal evidence with mine: I devour one to five apples on a daily basis and never, ever leave a core. Never experienced any symptoms of HCN poisoning (not even back when I still smoked, which would have meant additional exposure). Believe me, if regular consumption of apple cores posed an even remotely realistic health risk, you can bet you’d hear about it. People tend to take note of diets that result in them getting seriously sick, natural selection made sure of that.

@Durabiznik  
I know someone (not naming names) who decided that, along with whatever else he ate, that he would also try to have an apple a day. He also decided to eat the cores as well, not realizing the effect it would have, and after a few months, he started getting very sick.  
Long story short, he stopped eating the cores, and got better. The end.

Wait, AJ is 32?! So TJ’s Applebloom is AJ’s daughter then?

I’ve said this elsewhere, but I could still believe that Applejack never really liked apples, but pretended she did for the sake of her family. And maybe the whole guilt over her parents being dead thing.

“You should see your doctor, by the way. I’ve seen how they feed you.”

@The CLaUD  

 
By all means, elaborate.

@The CLaUD
 
Thanks for your concern and I’m wondering if it’s different from person to person (and apple to apple for that matter) not far from how some people are allergic to walnuts. I’ve been eating the cores and seeds for years when I do eat them (not every day) and haven’t had an issue. That’s me, though. I have no idea if it applies to everyone.
 
I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard of some BS like “Doctors put man in prison because he won’t shut up about Apricot Kernels curing cancer”. Don’t forget all these chemotherapy treatments are BIG money makers while at the same time I don’t feel like they have the best success rate if any. With that in mind the same people who put that man in prison (if this is even real) wouldn’t be far off from saying the same thing about apple seeds. As for what I ate apple seeds, apricot kernels and some almonds do have a very similar taste to them and I’m speaking from experience.
 
Funny having this conversation here…

@Durabiznik  
You positive that’s true? Because I personally know someone who would say very much otherwise.

@The CLaUD
 
Another myth. Eating apple cores on a regular basis won’t result in chronic cyanide poisoning. You’d have to eat the seeds from more apples than you could possibly eat in a day to even notice the effects. As for acute poisoning, to ingest LD50 of hydrogen cyanide you’d have to eat ~100g of apple seeds (finely blended, otherwise the efficiency is lower), which is just surreal.

@BarryFromMars  
Don’t do that. Eating the core/seeds once a day will still give you cyanide poisoning. Once a week maybe (though I’m no doctor), but the amount of cyanide in the seeds of an apple is more than your body can purge in one day. You’ll start getting sick after about 2-3 months. Death (I believe) in about 6-12 depending on how strong your liver is.  
But you’d notice before then, probably contact your doctor, and he’ll tell you that you have cyanide poisoning, and should stop eating apple cores.
