Foraging

On the subject of Foraging, as mentioned from time to time by TB people, what’s the general opinion on Yew Berries? Are they a useful food source or a deadly poison?
If I look on the World Wide Web, I can find both points of view. Most sites say that every part of the tree is brim full of cyanide, one of the most deadly poisons around. Other websites say that while the pips are deadly, the flesh of the berries are edible.
Has anyone on Team TB ever investigated the matter of Yew Trees?
