Cherry pits are full of cyanogenic glycosides.
樱桃充满了氰苷。
The good: Cherries themselves are tasty. The pits can be used as a source of fuel, and to relieve body aches and pains.
益处:樱桃本身很好吃。这种水果的核可以被制作成一种燃料,还能缓解身体疼痛。
The bad: Cherry pits contain cyanogenic glycosides. A small amount is fine, but several pits -- made worse by chewing them up and allowing the glycosides to mix with your enzymes -- can poison you. Effects range from headaches and vomiting to kidney failure and eventually coma, convulsions, and death.
坏处:樱桃核含有多种氰苷。吃一点点没事,但是如果将其咀嚼会释放大量的糖苷混合物,与你的酶相结合会让你丧命。症状有头疼、恶心甚至还会出现昏迷、抽搐和死亡。
