you gotta remember that fruit is designed by nature to be eaten so that the seeds go through the guts of animals and get "deposited" in a "nutrient rich" environment, so most seeds don't offer much in the way of nutrition to humans. there are exceptions, such as the sunflower seed.
I think I remember my college professor saying that you would need to eat about 1/2 cup of apple seeds to die from the cyanide.
