Apple seeds contain Cyanogenic Glycosides, which produces Cyanide. But you'd have to eat a hell of a lot of them for the effects to be fatal. So eating 3-4 apple seeds at a time is no big deal.

BTW, salt is poisonous as well, but in low doses is no big deal. Eat 1/2 cup of salt, and you *will* most likely die. Pretty much everything, including water, is fatal in large enough doses.
