For those who don't sleep well or are tired, chat with your doctor on a sleep study or spend $100 and get a home sleep study device.

Some skinny people have sleep apnea.

Muscle in throat relaxes and blocks air.

Brain partially wakes up - retracts muscle and you sleep again

If someone urinates 1-5 times a night, I can be a sleep apnea issue. As brain wakes up, organs wake up and the body makes urine.

Same is true of waking up in the mornings with a headache. It could be sleep apnea

As is new hybrid sugar cane. Whole harvesting process changed. No longer burned on the ground before loaded to bring to the mill.

So, where do fruits such as bananas and tomatoes stand regarding seeds? Kinda hard to seperate.

Seeds like peanut, corn and beans are large enough to be problematic. Some of them can be made less problematic by thoroughly cooking.

Lectin is high in peanuts and beans besides the other problems like mold.

Tree nuts range from generally ok (pistachios, cashews, pecans, walnut) to yikes (almonds) in lectin. Just 3 brazil nuts will give you the daily selenium you need.

Most “fruit” like squash and tomatoes have seeds that generally have less compounds that cause trouble. Honestly you would have to eat like 2 dozen ears of corn to equal the toxicity of a tablespoon of corn oil. Some tomato seeds are not really a big deal. Tree fruit is generally free of bad compounds. Cherry obviously has arsenic but don’t eat the pits

The vegetable/seed oils are really the problem. Processed to the max, full of broken chain polyunsaturated fats and are rancid … but deodorized so you can’t tell.

A handful of sunflower seeds probably won’t cause you any harm

Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Jay Feldman (Energy Balance Podcast), Gary Brecka, Mike Fave and Dr. Gundry are all great podcasts about this sort of stuff.

Topic being consumption not classification I presume.

I'm may be a bad person to ask because I differentiate between the consumption of seeds and the consumption of seed oils.

I don't believe seeds are inherently bad but some seed oils are produced with a refinement process that includes a chemical/solvent extraction followed by bleaching, deodorizing, yada yada ...

Small seeds consumed whole and not cracked or chewed up will often pass through in mostly the same condition they entered. One of nature's magic ways of spreading seeds to new areas.

You can find seed oils that are produced simply by pressing the seeds same as some olive oils but shelf life won't be stellar the flavor would be very strong tainting anything prepared with it. Like using a full flavor olive oil.

As to your gene mutation comment, I have no clue.

MTHFR and Folic Acid "Build Up": What You Need to Know - Gene Food

The problem of un-metabolized folic acid appears to be more concerning in populations with certain MTHFR genetic variations.

It is pretty interesting. In kids it can cause meltdowns and sort of acts like speed.

Anyone else notice that the writing on the flag changed after the paint started flying? AI I guess.

When I was a young farmboy in the 50's and 60's the wheat variety most raised (at least on our dirt) was Waldron, a heritage wheat. I can remember Dad and Gramps hauling a truckload into the elevator for cleaning every spring for that years seeding. Some years if the harvest was a plumb, heavy crop a load was stored in the wood built seed granary. That bin was closely watched throughout the winter to insure it maintained condition for spring seeding.
Waldron was famous for long straw and heads. Very prone to wind and lodging. During harvest Gramps would pull the JD 65 combine picking up huge 18' swaths. Dad drove the trucks and I dumped in the 6" auger. A bumper was 35 bushels, less than 5% dockage was cause for celebration.
Cancer was extremely rare and very very few people were obese. Families were large, nobody had a lot of money, the churches were overflowing. On a clear night one could bounce in a Chicago AM blues station or listen to Joe Pyne.
Good times, better memories.
