Should we give up eating black cherry yoghurt, in case we end up the same
way as the 12th US President? Could we sell this story to the Daily Mail, as
the latest health scare!
Why are people eating cherry stones, I thought this risked a tree growing
inside them! what about cherry pie and custard? Lots of questions to be
answered!

True enough.
However, from various answers I have received (and thanks to the
respondents)it seems that it is more likely that water will leach out the
cyanogenetic glucosides, increasing the chances of cyanide poisoning. That
being said, it seems that you would have to eat an awful lot of cherries to
be significantly affected by this.
One interesting snippet of information was the question, did cherries kill
the 12th President of the US?

But again, we've not answered the question. Neither of these responses
address the initial query. These are specific circumstances of concern, but
neither relates to subsequent water drinking.
