Doctor discusses sunflower seed health risks
Russian nutrition expert Tatyana Zaletova warns that excessive consumption of sunflower seeds can lead to numerous health problems, including weight gain and a higher risk of cancer—especially when they are roasted using poor or refined oils. She recommends not eating more than 30 grams in a single sitting to preserve health benefits and avoid complications, emphasizing that overindulgence leads to high caloric intake, as 100 grams of these seeds contain about 700 calories. She also noted that eating roasted sunflower seeds prepared with unhealthy oils increases the likelihood of carcinogenic substances forming in the oil used and the development of tumors.
