Apple seeds

How can the same thing be toxic and cure cancer? Should I eat the whole core if it is gross but gives me super-powers? Or should I subtly toss it into nature when no one is looking to avoid poisoning and plant an apple tree?*

*Note: None of the fruit seeds I planted ever grew, even the summer I buried a whole “class” of seeds together including one big cherry seed, fifteen small apple seeds and two tomato seeds for the diverse students (10 year-old inclusion freak).
