Apple seeds contain cyanide, a deadly poison. And yet, eating an apple will not kill you. In fact, it’s considered a #healthysnacks ! That’s because it’s not just about what’s toxic but how much of it you are exposed to.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the differences between #hazards and risks and what that means for dangers that may be lurking in our food and drinks. We will also discuss how different groups, ranging from the youngest to the eldest, may be affected, and why body weight is so important.
