Can you get sick from eating cherries and milk?

Answer 1

No. If that was the case there would be no cherries in ice cream and there is. Cherry ice cream is not the same. It is alleged that a US President died from eating too much cherries and milk. [President Zachary Taylor, died July 4, 1850.] Additional info After reading your answer in addition to mine I looked this up. He was diagnosed with "cholera morbus" a term that included diarrhea and dysentery, but not true cholera. What he had is not really known, but the popular advice of the time was that people needed to stay away from raw foods like milk, green apples and cherries. Food contamination was common so his food may have been contaminated with human feces. His death also can be hastened by the medical science of the day. Nothing points to a fact that eating cherries and milk will kill you. By the way there are ice cream flavors with whole cherries in the ice cream.
