according to wikipedia: As with many other members of the rose family, peach seeds contain cyanogenetic glycosides, including amygdalin (note the subgenus designation: Amygdalus). These substances are capable of decomposing into a sugar molecule and hydrogen cyanide gas. While peach seeds are not the most toxic within the rose family, that dubious honor going to the bitter almond, large doses of these chemicals from any source are hazardous to human health.
oops!

Hmmmm.... and we're holding Recipie Exchange at YOUR house!?? ha ha! That cracks me up!
One time my mom accidentally put cat food in our meatloaf instead of oatmeal! (the bags were right next to each other on the pantry floor...) We were too poor to throw the meat away and besides, my older sisters were having their boyfriends over for dinner and there was no time to prepare anything else! She never said anything to anyone - till WAY later. Everyone raved how good it was. They especially the tuna-like flavor!
