Pumpkin seeds are one of the most concentrated sources of linoleic acid that you can eat.
Linoleic acid gets stored in body fat for years and slowly oxidizes into inflammatory and toxic byproducts which damage mitochondria and drive chronic disease.
Swapping seed oils (and pumpkin seeds) for stable fats like butter or coconut oil is the practical first move, since body fat turnover takes months to years to shift.
Zinc comes from oysters or beef. Magnesium from cheese or milk, iron from liver since heme iron absorbs better and doesn't need the seed matrix, phosphorus from dairy and eggs which come packaged with calcium so the ratio stays balanced, vitamin E from egg yolks and butter, and the B vitamins from liver.
Get nutrients from an animal source where it's already in the right chemical form and ratio, instead of from a seed where it's bound to fiber and PUFA.
