Sunflower Seeds and Coffee: A Dubious Remedy for Melatonin Disruption

A recent video circulating online promotes a blend of sunflower seeds and coffee as a way to mitigate the negative effects of coffee on melatonin production. The video features an older man who suggests this mixture can neutralize the effects of coffee, allowing for consumption without disrupting sleep or growth hormone production. "To counteract the negative effects of coffee," he explains, "blend 100 grams of sunflower seeds with 100 grams of coffee and add 2-3 teaspoons to a glass of water." However, this claim lacks scientific backing and should be approached with caution. Experts caution against relying on unsubstantiated health advice found online and emphasize the importance of consulting with healthcare professionals before making dietary changes. While the video has garnered some attention, its unscientific nature raises concerns about the spread of misinformation. Further investigation is needed to determine the validity of the claims and to prevent the spread of potentially harmful health advice.
