Is it dangerous to eat an apple with a core and seeds?

Nutritionist Elena Pryakina explained in the commentary for AiF: You can eat whole apples if there are no problems with the digestive system. Inside the core there is a greater amount of fiber and antioxidants. But there is a nuance with seeds.

"It is better to remove seeds from apples, because they contain a substance - amygdalin, which under the influence of digestive enzymes can be converted into phenyl acid. The risk arises only when these seeds are chewed. If a person eats them whole, they pass through the digestive tract almost unchanged and do not pose a threat."

How do you eat apples?

completely. I leave a residue.
