Don't eat the skin of apples

They're too tough on the digestive system. Slice off the skin of an apple, you'll find that an apple in this state is way more appropriate for consumption. I've even gotten nauseous from eating apples with a skin it.

Eat the skin of apples, it's way tastier and I've never gotten nauseous from eating apples with a skin on it.

Judging by your comment, I doubt you've eaten enough skinless apples to justify this claim.

Why don't we start with justifying your claims, before trying to justify my opinion.

I eat 3-5 apples a day and I have never been nauseous from eating apples.

I may be have a particularly sensitive digestive system.
I may be mildly allergic to a chemical found in the skin of apples.
But I don't believe humans are capable of digesting apple skins, whether they affect a person consciously or not (they pass right through you in the same state in which they are swallowed).
I also think people would prefer the mouthfeel of skinless apples.

I think you're just allergic to apple skins. I know a few people like that including my brother. Personally I love the taste and texture of apple skins and I digest them just fine.

There was an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where the guy said that apple skins are loaded with toxins. O_o I don't like apple skins anyway. I think it's a good idea to slice off the skin.

I think that's a myth based on the fact that there are unique phytochemicals in skins... The skin can be broken down in the lab for analysis, but such is not the case in the human body.
Also, even if you don't experience any digestive distress, I think if you do the research you'll find that humans are not capable of digesting apple skins.

Are you ingesting the apple seeds by chance? Cause those contain cyanide and will explain your uneasy stomach.

I have an allergic reactionto almost every type of fruit. Luckily apples are one of the few things that dont cause my throat to swell up and my mouth to salivate profusely lol. Theyre delicious!

Awesome looking Calorie Restriction Guy says that the skin is THE ONLY part of the apples he does eat, throwing the rest away, because MOST OF THE NUTRITION in the apple is in the skin.
Since Awesome looking CR Guy looks awesome and you're just some random poster, I think I'll go with him

Non-organic apples are notoriously high in pesticides... apparently it soaks in. The potential harm is unclear.
The skins are also often covered in wax (not to be confused with the natural wax of the fruit) as a preservative and make them look shiny. Some organic apples are also waxed. http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/questions/question/2546/
Washing might reduce some of it. Some people even go as far as washing in a tub of water + vinegar to get the pesticides and wax off.
Other than the potential toxins that are added to the skins... the skins are meant to be very healthy for us. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2000392/Apple-peel-helps-build-muscle-control-weight.html

Most fruit seeds have cyanide in them. Cherry, plum and peach pit have a lot more cyanide than Apple seeds. You would have to eat a shit load of Apple seeds to get ill.
