Not sure about it being "cyanide," at least in the true (poison) meaning of the word. Maybe there's traces of the chemical in the pits, but surely eating one or two won't hurt you. I remember my grandfather used to eat them here and there when he had a peach--he cracked the pits with something and extracted the seed and ate it. He lived to 94. Don't be worried if you ate some, just don't eat one everyday for the rest of your life.
