I love eating dried sunflower kernels. Recently a friend of mine told me it increases the risk of heart attack! I do not believe that. Any one here has an idea about these little seeds ? Are they really a threat ? Everything here on earth in one or the other means is threat. But I am talking about the practical threat !

I have never heard this, and you would think that if there was any truth to it then this news would be everywhere. Besides, there isn't enough room on the shell for the Surgeon Generals warning to fit.

I think it depends on whether you eat the salted or unsalted ones. Theseeds are actually good for you, but the amount of salt they put on the salted ones is a heart killer!
