The flesh is the edible part of the apple. The seeds actually contain a tiny amount of cyanide, which is a deadly poison. So do not eat the seeds, and once you come to the core (which is harder than the rest of the flesh), you've eaten the apple. Improvement: the seeds do contain a very small amount of cyanide that is covalently bonded so it is only released in the presence of certain substances, one the enzymes produced by cancer cells so to possibly prevent cancer. I have personally eaten 2 apples a day, core seed, and even green top and feel absolutely great. I also read the glucose in the apple actually helps detoxify the cyanide as well. According to what I read, the lethal dose would be in excess of 25 apples, so very unlikely unless someone was earring the seeds as their own chemotherapy. The lethal dose of apricot pits which contain a greater amount was 15.
