all right so I had another question can

I consume an avocado pit okay without

any problem

well it’s not a quick answer I just have

to explain a couple things the benefit

of consuming the pit and I’m talking

about taking the seed out of that

avocado drying it out in either a

dehydrator or your oven 250 degrees for

two hours it’s a lot of work chopping it

up and then blending it into some shake

when you do that you get a lot of extra

phytonutrients in fact the

phytonutrients in that seed compared to

the meat of an avocado is like

off-the-charts okay so that’s why people

do it now that sounds pretty good but

there’s a certain chemical natural

chemical in the seed it’s also in the

meat as well but it’s mostly

concentrated in the seed it’s in the

bark it’s in the leaves which you don’t

consume but mainly if you’re going to

consume the seed you have to be aware

that it has this natural fungicide

it’s called person now it is toxic to

animals but it’s not as toxic to humans

okay maybe in large quantities and

certain people could be sensitive to it

they could have allergies to it but

genuinely it’s non-toxic to humans

there’s a study that showed that even

had anti-cancer properties to the breast

tissue but there’s another study taken

out of context to show that this

chemical can create DNA damage but it’s

in vitro which means they take this

avocado extract and they put it into a

petri dish and they expose it to your

cells and they show that it causes

damage but here’s the thing you’re not

gonna crush this up and inject it into

your bloodstream okay you’re gonna eat

this it’s going to go through your

digestive system into your stomach into

the intestines it’s gonna go through

immigration get the stamp of approval

through your own body’s immune system

it’s gonna go through the liver and the

liver has all sorts of an enzymes to

make this safe now if you have liver

damage it could be more toxic but the

point is that this study is really

invalid because no one in consumes these

foods directly into the bloodstream it

goes through your digestive system so in

reality you’d have to consume a lot of

this

avocado seeds to create a toxic effect

on your body alright so the question is

can you consume an avocado pit

absolutely are there health benefits yes

lots of phytonutrients is it convenient

no because you’re gonna have to take

this pit out dehydrate it chop it up

blend it consume it so personally I

don’t have time to do it I’m gonna get

my phytonutrients from other things like

cruciferous vegetables alright guys
