 I 🤍 how every reply is about a different example that I gave!  Wonderful diversity here on nostr.

I'll just point you to a guy on YouTube who has videos that will do a quick pass over the medical evidence:

The major counter argument is that seeds themselves do not want to be eaten. Evolution would make them toxic. Whereas fruits were designed to be eaten in order to spread the seeds.

But just because a plant doesn't want you to chew and eat it's seeds doesn't mean seeds are toxic.  Carrots don't want to be eaten, neither does lettuce, nor celery, and those things are not toxic.  So the counter argument is just a hint at a hypothesis.

Is the medical evidence wrong or misleading?  Maybe.  This is why I still hold it in superposition.  But I'm going to lean towards the research for now.
