Although seeds and plant parts are all toxic, there have been some
inconclusive results regarding the edibility of the fruit itself. An
example of plant poisoning article in this website

http://members.tripod.com/~Prof_Anil.../poiso031.html

refers to fruit toxicity in one part, while it says that it is
occasionally eaten by humans in another part.

Actually, it only says that the fruit is edible, with the rest of the plant
poisonous. If fruits are attractive-looking and sweet-smelling they are
almost invariably edible (of course some exceptions do exist). To be sure,
in some cases the seeds can be quite poisonous, which means the digestive
system had better operate smoothly.
