Apple is rich in a variety of healthy nutrients, health care effects are numerous, loved by people all over the world But some experts pointed out that eating apples should not be too hard, because the core contains hydrocyanic acid, which is harmful to health As we all know, apple is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols and flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants, especially effective in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases The calcium content of apple is much richer than that of common fruit, which can help to metabolize excess salt and help to lose weight However, it is rarely known that the apple core contains hydrocyanic acid It is found that Apple kernel contains a small amount of harmful substance hydrocyanic acid A large amount of hydrocyanic acid is deposited in the body, which will cause dizziness, headache, rapid breathing and other symptoms, and may cause coma in severe cases But don't worry too much, the hydrocyanic acid in apple is mainly in the core, not in the flesh.
