*8 Mistakes Turning Pumpkin Seeds into POISON (Especially If You're Over 60) | Dr. Berg, The Wellness Hub*

Think pumpkin seeds are a perfect superfood? Dr. Eric Berg exposes the *8 most common, health-sabotaging mistakes* people make that turn this powerful seed into a source of chronic inflammation and mineral depletion. This is crucial for anyone over 60, as aging bodies have a lower tolerance for anti-nutrients and toxic oils.

Learn the specific scientific mechanisms behind these common errors:

*The Phytic Acid Trap:* Why eating *raw pumpkin seeds* (Mistake 1) with declining stomach acid leads to severe **Zinc and Magnesium depletion**.
*The Oxidation Danger:* How *high-heat roasting* (Mistake 2) destroys delicate Omega-6 fats, creating toxic *Lipid Peroxides* that fuel "Inflammaging" and weaken your immune system.
*The Insulin Clash:* Why combining seeds with *sugar or dairy* (Mistake 5) forces Insulin to spike, locking away healthy fats and causing **bloating and hormonal sluggishness**.
*Mineral Wars:* The hidden conflict between *Zinc and Copper* (Mistake 7) that can lead to chronic fatigue and immune suppression if not balanced (10:1 ratio).
*HGH Disruption:* The impact of *late-night snacking* (Mistake 8) on your *Growth Hormone (HGH)* release, compromising muscle repair and longevity.

Dr. Berg provides actionable solutions, including the essential **Soaking Protocol**, the correct low-temperature roasting method, and strategies for balancing your fatty acid ratio.
