Yeah, and there's a small amount of poison in a maraschino cherry. 
But eating a few isn't likely to hurt you.

As for apples, pears and the like, eat one fruit, big deal.

Eat an entire cup full of seeds, and seeds only, and you got a 
problem. Some guy died this way a decade or three ago - i don't 
remember if it was a whole cup or only 1/2 a cup - but he was saving 
seeds to eat. So unless you're that, uh, compulsive, no problem.

You probably breathe more poison when you fill up your gas tank.
