Answer

It would probably not bother you if you swallowed one accidently, but the pits of the orange have no beneficial effect.

People who have a condition called diverticulosis, where there are little pockets inside of the intestine can have problems with any nuts or seeds. It irritates these little pockets which can lead to diverticulitis or even perforation of the colon if the diverticulum ruptures.
