Seed oils are trash, but what about actual seeds? Sunflower, pumpkin, etc. Still bad or fine in moderation? #asknostr

Absolutely no reason to eat it.

Even though it might be not bad for you

Eating sunflower seeds while watching TV is a dangerous sport—one bag and you’re hooked. 🫢

We all have our vices 😁

Excellent if you are a hamster

Haha good point

If I remember correctly, Dr. Kiltz doesn't recommend consuming them. I used them for two to three years, but after switching from keto to carnivore, I discovered that they caused my blood sugar to spike, which is logical given the starch they contain. So I eliminated them from my diet; they were the last plant-based component I was consuming anyway.

Makes a lot of sense

Soaking and sprouting makes them much more digestable and bioavailable.

The Nourishing Traditions book has great instructions on proper preparation
