I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!

So I am at work and reading up on Wikipedia, because there is a restricted internet connection, and what do I discover you may ask?

Well definative proof that I was correct fruit is evil and could kill you!!!:

- Apple (Malus domestica) Seeds contain cyanogenic acids in them; although the amount found in most apples won't kill a person, with enough seeds, one could die from it.

- Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Foliage and vines contain alkaloid poisons

- Rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum) Leaves contain oxalic acid salts

- Cherry (Prunus cerasus), as well as other species such as peach, plum, almond and apricot (Prunus) Leaves and pits contain cyanogenic glycosides

- Pokeweed (Phytolacca sp.) Leaves, berries and roots contain phytolaccatoxin and phytolaccigenin - toxin in young leaves is reduced with each boiling and draining.

Apples, tomatos, peaches, plums, almonds, apricots, rhubarb, and even POKEWEED are not to be eaten!!!

You cannot say you have not been warned....

A.S. I guess you were right Thom.... Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Can contain the glycoalkaloid solanine; this develops as the eyes prepare to sprout chiefly as a result of exposure to light. Green tinged flesh is a sign that this process has begun. Some regard raw potatoes as inedible. Cooked potatoes are softer and easier to chew.
A.A.S. I bet the Irish have just built up an immunity....
