Cherries have a cyanide precursor in the pit. Apples do too! This is why you should not juice apple seeds! However, as discussed in the video, one must eat many cherry pits and have them fully chewed and dissolved to reach a high enough level to be a serious threat. Stay tuned for another video showing how cherry pits pass through you and are not dissolved by stomach acid. Still DONT EAT CHERRY PITS! They will likely damage the lining of your stomach before the cyanide killed you!
Also, did you know that many foods, even water, can be toxic at high enough concentrations? Its just nearly impossible to eat enough to be toxic.
