Avocado seeds @ https://www.livestrong.com/article/31737-eat-avocado-seeds-nutrition/ - 8/14/2019 -
The plant toxin persin is present in high concentrations in both avocado seeds & leaves.
Persin is known to cause toxic effects & possibly even death in a variety of animals including cattle, horses, sheep, goats, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs & certain birds, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual.
Given these effects in animals, what could persin potentially do to people?  To date, possible toxic effects of persin have not been studied in humans. However, laboratory studies have shown that persin induces cell death in breast cancer & ovarian cancer cell lines, as reported in December 2013 issue of the British Journal of Cancer & the June 2016 issue of Investigational New Drugs, respectively.

Yew Taxol -
http://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/19/garden/botanist-s-quest-plants-for-all-ills.html - "Spring finds him wandering the woods outside the Agriculture Department office in Beltsville ('known only to bikers & weird botanists,' he says) for wild ginseng.  In fall, pruning yew bushes. "The seeds are poisonous, so you have to be careful not to swallow them,' he said, picking a few red berries from his own shaggy hedge at home.
He popped them into his mouth and spat out the seeds. 'The pulp doesn't have much taxol," he said, 'but the needles may have as much as 100 parts per million taxol.' Taxol, an anti-tumor agent, may prove a powerful treatment for advanced ovarian cancer; it shows promise against breast & lung cancer.
The Agriculture Department is harvesting the Pacific yew in the Northwest & the Food & Drug Administration has permitted Bristol-Meyers to manufacture taxol from the bark & use it experimentally.
But this forest is already threatened by overlogging.
This resident witch doctor for the establishment, says taxol is staring us in the face in our own backyards.
He recently cut a branch from a yew on the Agriculture Department's grounds & sent it to the cancer institute for analysis. 'The needles had 80 parts per million of taxol,' he said.
'There's no reason to kill those trees out West when we can just give our hedges a haircut.' 
Of Dr. Duke's yew specimen, Dr. Kenneth Snader, a chemist at the institute, said:
'It's a very useful addition to our search,' but added, 'I'm not convinced it's going to replace other programs.'" (Many Christmas trees could be recycled/harvested for taxol.)
