—seeds are inherently an excellent source of nutrients because they are loaded with materials needed to feed the seedlings as they grow.
Plants must therefore protect their “offspring” from foraging animals using defensive compounds that are toxic. (Linoleic acid for example)
There are many compounds that can take many forms depending on the plant, so some “seed oils” are far worse than others.
These toxins are removed in vegetable oils by industrial processes that aren’t 100% effective, nor are they 100% affective at removing the detergents used.
A little consumption here and there probably won’t hurt you, just as consuming a few apple seeds or peach pits is ok, because you are built to tolerate and detoxify small amounts of poisons but turning these products into a staple, and a lifetime of eating them is risky and likely damaging to a body that wasn’t built for it.
TLDR:
—Some toxins left behind
—Some detergents left behind
—Heating Omega 6/9 damaged them (processing made them rancid)

Any of you that have younger kiddos should look out for this type of language on food packaging. 🌻nostr:nevent1qqsv5cnx43mm4qaxqmfnykgux7h7ltw3ckz7g0er7fl3nqf3tn0znwqh3rval
Eggo calls their fake chocolate, “Chocolatey” Chip waffles.
Then goes on to misdirect you by stating “no artificial colors or flavorings”
Chocolate has a US federal standard so It has to be made with real chocolate and the fat has to be cocoa butter.
Eggo's ingredient list for this waffle has the oil as soybean, palm, palm kernel, canola and/or cottonseed.
Cocoa and chocolate are both in there but they sit below salt in weight.
Look out for these words:
Chocolatey, chocolate flavored, made with chocolate or fudge flavored.
