Are all seeds bad for you?

You know, I don't know how many times I've seen on the internet

or people telling me that Dr. Gundry says that all seeds are bad for you.

And I have no idea where that concept came from, but let's correct it right now. Now remember, plants have two

philosophies in protecting their seeds so that their seeds, their babies, sprout and grow.

In fact, some plants want you to eat their seeds.

Let me briefly explain.

If there is a tree that is stuck in the ground in

immobile and has grown too big enough to make a fruit, then they want you, their predator, to take that fruit with its seeds,

and eat it and walk away or fly away and deposit the babies with a generous dollar per fertilizer

quite a ways away from the mother plant because the mother plant would shield

shadow that baby if it just dropped to the ground there and probably wouldn't do well. So they protect their seeds with a shell that cannot be digested And they make you interested in eating their babies

by having all that wonderful luscious fruit dose-laden fruit.

And they even tell you that it's ready because they change

colors and you have color vision. So you're a fruit predator. So they want you to

eat their seeds. On the other hand, most grasses and other annual plants are growing in a great place and they're going to die.

So they don't want their seeds to be carried off.
