Hm, this might explain some recent, intense bouts of hormonal acne… Think I will do my own experiment to test the theory.
I enjoy eating the whole seed with shells intact. Or should I say ‘enjoyed’. Thanks mom and dad for your parental guidance, Dr. G is my new daddy:)
Does this include roasted and salted? Ive been buying mine raw in the shell and salting them with Celtic sea salt. Even though I drink six-to eight, eight oz. bottles of water a day, if I eat the salted seeds at night, i have terrible dry mouth which disturbs my sleep. They are addicting and hard to stay away from. ��
If they are roasted are they unhealthy? Chewing on raw seeds is like chewing on cardboard. Maybe the heated seed oil is unhealthy?
I have been eating a tablespoon of sunflower seeds for the past 3days and have noticed rash-like pimples on one side of my face,discomfort in my lower abdomen and some gas and have been having random dizzy spells since yesterday,could these be a reaction to the sunflower seeds?
Very interesting, clear and helpful.
Muy intersante, claro y beneficioso.
Thanks for sharing.
Gracias Doc.
Unsure if lipid peroxidation is a reason i shouldn’t be eating quite so many sunflower seeds?
So maybe it’s the fat intake? I used to get really bad cystic acne when I was a carnist. I used to eat a lot of animals, that was really high in fat.
Me: eats sunflower seeds. Them: there health. Me: eats a lot at the same time
I actually tried this myself. I was eating Sunbutter daily and breaking out. To find out if it was nuts and seeds causing my breakouts, I eliminated them from my diet for two weeks. Last night I ate a tablespoon of Sunbutter and this morning I had three small pimples on my chin. On one hand I’m relieved to know but, on the other hand bummed out because I love sunflower seeds and Sunbutter. I plan on testing other nuts and seeds too.
Thanks for these helpful informations…. Is it healthy to eat the sun flower seeds roasted or unroasted please…
Currently looking at reducing my daily dose of flaxseeds which I pre mix with steal cut oats. Maybe antidotal but ran out of flaxseed meal the other week (I normally eat a cup of steal cut oats and flax is 10% by weight). I might run a few trials 2 weeks at 10% 5% None.

I work third shift and I eat roasted/seasoned sunflower seeds to stop me from eating other things and mainly to keep me awake, but I didn’t realize the sodium levels were so high. My particular bag of seeds has 2720mg of sodium on the kernel and shell combined per serving. I hate that I need to quit eating the seeds, so I’m trying to find videos to inspire me to stop.
Hmm, this makes sense of why one of my coworkers that is a huge sunflower seed eater has a lot of acne. His cheeks are always completely read and riddled with acne.
I’d like to research more myself before correlating the to definitively though, but its worth keeping in mind. Haha being vegan myself perhaps the acne causing effects of sunflower seeds only trigger in a animal included diet. I’ll have to test it myself. Will say I personally haven’t noticed the effect from the little I’ve eaten at certain restaurant salad bars haha.
i finished full pack of sunflower seed while watching this vedio.
Could you please do videos on all seeds? Benefits, which is the better seed, comparence to seed butters, etc.
i eat bags of these things at work and i think they make my skin look better maybe from all the vitamin e in the seeds
Hi Sir, thank you so much for the post. Iam a thyroid patient. Iam very much addictive to these sunflower seeds. I do eat nearly 200gm daily. Is it OK for me or I need to stop or reduce the quantity. Please do reply me Sir.
I pretty much live on sunflower seeds, and I’m 5’10 145 lbs. It’s not going to make you fat.
I didn’t know sundflower seeds is a lot of benefits, just now I try to check YouTube about the benefits of sundflower while I’m eating right now haha. Im shock of the benefits of sundflower because it’s my routine eating sundflower seeds everyday. My stress is gone if I eat sundflower seeds.I’m still eating seeds right now��.
IM ADDICTED TO SUNFLOWER SEEDS
I EAT 1/4KL EVERYDAY ITS MAKE ME RELAX WHILE EATING
There was no interesting way to learn about nutrition. UNTIL NOW.
And I just ate 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds with My oatmeal for breakfast. ☺��
me going to fill my bowl to flex on the kids in my school that Im sexier
I have a question. I struggle with menopausal insomnia. I was wanting to know if eating about a fourth of sunflower seeds before bed would be alright. I know the magnesium is good was but what about vitamin B6 wouldn’t that keep you awake?
I’m from Spain but live abroad, and once I got sunflower seeds because I was having a get together with friends, and they are nice food to share and snake while talking and drinking. That’s what we usually do in Spain. And that was the day I saw a grown woman, japanese, accepting them out of politeness and I saw her eating one with the shell. I had no words, I didn’t know people didn’t know how to eat them! And so I taught my japanese friend, a tunisian one and an indonesian how to do it properly; all the different ways that I know. They had refuse to eat them solely because they didn’t like them since they didn’t know how to. Of course they didn’t, it must be disgusting! I have never tried eating one with the shell, must be terrible!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRST!
Haha always wanted to do that:-)
I eat a lot of sunflower seeds, and I do get pretty bad break outs, for someone my age.
One of the many reasons why I really enjoyed this particular video is because of the simple lesson that nutritional “facts” can be quite deceiving, particularly in the realm of fats. If a food has a fat in it (especially if it’s an unhealthy fat), it’s just listed as “fat”. Although most people know their are different types of fat, it seems as though when we read nutritional facts and see “fat”, we see it as the same no matter what the food is.
Sorry for the rambling, but thank you for the video, funny enough I was eating shelled sunflower seeds as I watched this
SUNFLOWER SEEDS AIDS. IN. VERY HIGH IN NUTRIENT. CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE. GOOD FOR SKIN HELPS WITH THYROID FUNCTION. MAY HELP TO PREVENT CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER…….
What are your thoughts when I hear (quite often at baseball events) that they have WAY too much sodium?
Jesus, who eats sunflower seeds with shells? o_O Didn’t even know it was possible
man, i better watch out with Nutritionfacts videos while eating from here on…
High in cadmium and causes acne? -I’ve been eating about a tablespoon a day of sunflower seeds, but I guess I’m better off not buying them anymore, though I never noticed them to aggravate any acne….
Only thing that keeps me from sleeping while driving back home from work.
So flavorful ones like Ranch Bbq is ok? Or just unsalted ones?
Hypothesis: if sunflower seeds have lots of cadmium ( 2:08) and glyphosate binds to metals, than they may also contain a lot of glyphosate, which leads to a leaky gut = toxins getting into the bloodstream => pimples everywhere!
I know, it may look like a long loop, but could it be true?
I eat sunflower seeds one big pack every day
It make my hair so thick
Give me energy and make me warm
I love it
I am vegan and I need sunflower seeds
What… Who eats the shells of sunflower seeds? The insanity….
I suffered insomnia, highblood, constipation, palpitation, anxiety, poor balance, migraine, body weakness and stress…I tried several doctors and taking lots of medication but has no effects…undergo MRI, EEG, ECG, thyroid test, ear test, eye test but all normal…after eating sunflower seeds everyday it changed my life everything is back to normal…
At Walmart you can get a 1 lb bag without shells for under 3 bucks. I buy out their entire stock whenever I go ��
I eat a lot of sunflower seeds a day, at 2 ounces a day. I do not know exactly how this affects my body. I suffer from a period of muscular pain and some nerve pain. Once I stopped eating the seeds for more than a month, but my pain still there, please give me advice
Lovely Video! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about Konarter Kanason Eradicator (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to say goodbye to your heartburn without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my coo-worker at very last got astronomical results with it.
Is this video for uneducated people? Polyunsaturated fats (PUSA) are terrible for you. They are the inflammatories that cause (dis)ease in your cells. If you’re saying that they’re loaded with polyunsaturated fats and you’re saying that they’re freaking poison. They cause excess stubborn belly fat. They weeken organs and organ walls. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are the precursors they set the stage for cancers and all other diseases
Did the study take into account whether the seeds were roasted, salted, or contained added oils?
I have been eating sunflower seeds for 6 years now not because there halthy but because im polish and we love them but now after watching this i have a qwestion WHY AM I STILL CHUBBY
Many claim that all high-fat foods can aggravate and even cause their acne. This increase in acne can be applied to all high-fat foods, even avocado, nuts, and other seeds. However, only in susceptible people of course. If acne is not in your genes than nothing will give it to you.
What about sodium? Theres a crazy amount of sodium. Im having ranch seed right now and read the sodium and stopped. It was like 2900mg for anout a 1/4 cup.
Whining about unshelled sunflower seeds? amateurs! Try eating unshelled walnuts and then send me a picture of your…
