- In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists report that avocado seed husks, which are usually discarded along with the seed, are hidden gold mines packed with a previously unrecognized plethora of chemical compounds. They say these compounds could eventually be used to treat a host of debilitating diseases, as well as to enhance the allure of cosmetics, perfumes and other consumer goods.

I am surprised of all the critical remarks just because a scientist has an accent. This is sad. An American accent has nothing to do with intellectual capacity. Science is a global study... it is our benefit that we study as a global world and not just a single culture. Accents are a natural byproduct of global science... how narrow minded if we haven’t taken the time to broaden our minds and study other cultures and languages.
shut up. Our culture welcomes more people than any other culture. Our culture is the only culture that brings others in an allows them to succeed - what other people on Earth do this? We are not narrow minded. This has nothing to do with anybody's inability to speak proper English. If they are so smart they should be able to do this.
@@phill8005 IDIOT.
Well that's because Caucasian Americans are inherently racist.
How far did you scroll? Im not used to his accent and its quite difficult for me to understand what he's saying which is the only comments I've read aside from one guy saying he talks through his nose which has nothing to do with an accent.
Phil L can you speak native Americans language it’s there land you living in ??? Answer no you smart bitch
He has information that people whom understand the matter will
i had no problem understanding
he has a Dr.degree that i don't have . I personally giving lot of credit for his information
Then read the transcript
Thanks a lot for sharing this information. I agree with many friends passing humanistic comments that native English accent has nothing to do with his diligence. I am a professor teaching human rights in Nepal and teach my student that every accent is beautiful and this is the beauty of "diversified identity". and we have to respect.
If we were all the same it would be boring 🤔
Accent is beautiful & unique & can be a very useful ID

@@kaepeach7588 Too much so.
Doctors, Dr. Bandyopadhyay, etc, thank you for this presentation. I came upon this quite by accident. While making bone broth, I tossed in an avocado, missing the seed. When completing the processing, I found the seed and was alarmed as I had no idea what compounds are in the avocado seed, it's affects on humans when ingesting, and ect. Needless to say, you provided me with a great deal of info, more than I was initially looking for. Thank you for your research and hard work!
Go to settings and put speed on .75. A man from a foreign country can't help the fact he has an accent but slowing the speed helps in understanding what he is saying.
THANK YOU. It works. I'm not criticizing his accent but it was very difficult for me to understand him.
Congratulations Dr. Deb, I hope your hard work and research go even further. Very proud of you !
Dr. Deb, what amazing work you are doing as a professor and researcher. Congratulations! I am very hopeful to see what contributions you make in the future of medicinal chemistry!
Congrats Dr. Deb!
I started eating them immediately you made the announcement!
Thank you!
Have you had any improvement? Do you have cancer?
Congratulations Dr. Deb, amazing work
Thanks for your presentation. I appreciate your efforts.
Would you include a transcript to accompany this video of important work for further study?
There isa transcript of this video
Awesome discovery, which can be beneficial to our human kind. Wish you well and success in future findings.
Two questions in one, can only answer last question. You can’t blame him for not being able to answer the last question accordingly when it became two. Answering several questions and providing that much information takes brain power. There’s always research to be done. Overall, good presentation of findings. p.s. if you can’t understand him, maybe you should try listening instead of listening to your head telling you you can’t because of his accent. Most of what he’s saying is clear enough to make out and understand.
Obviously collection of the seed skin would be something for industry to consider and implement due to the quantities necessary for economical extraction. The idea of consumers doing this instead of industry would necessitate an appropriate monetary incentive which might not be there. It was not entirely clear that he is talking about the thin pit skin, not the avocado peel or pit mass itself. I am wondering if the pit mass contains oleocanthal or other similar phenolic compounds. He missed the point of the last important question, the value of the peel, of which there is considerable more available. A question for the doctor, has he published a list of the compounds he found?
What are the Indian English?????😮
I would appreciate if someone can please explain a short summary of what he did with the wax and avocado seed shell. Can I do it at home and what did he do with it? Thanks.
great work
congratulation.. wishing you a lot of success
I want to see one of you Americans going over to India, and presenting some awesome discovery in their native tongue. Then talk about acccents 😒
That's why they are Doctors , and you are not. If noting else, I am sure they make more money and have better life than you do. All you have is jealousy.

Good research,
But subtitles has to be corrected. There are lot of errors especially at 12:48.
I hope it was an error and same will get corrected
Dr. Deb is amazing!!!
Wow thank you for your hard work researching this 💜‼️‼️
Congratulations from the

Thanq for the amazing useful facts about avocado shells. It seems that there is lot of importance to grow avocado trees.needs to be publisized to bring the awareness along with points of merits for the society to enhance the production of avocados.i think it's an imp aspect to consider n assist in further assistance where ever there is needed.i always welcome the new research towards the welfare of man kind.all the best.
Right at the very end, the man forgot what question was asked of him. The guy who asked question was keen to know about peel info. But this was not answered in stead the man answering went onto talk about collecting problems of seeds.
Thank you so much for sharing the information .I'm south Africa I do have the advocado tree. I want you to help me what I have to do if I to sell the seeds to you.
Wish someone on the panel would have spoke for him. Couldn’t catch a lot of the findings understandably 😔
Sometimes, they do not realise, their speech sounds alien.😂
Wow never again will I ever discard avo seeds nd husks.Thank you for sharing.❤Tandiwe be Sibanda .
Very interesting and good to know.
Thank you so much . With blessings .
this video needs to be interpreted or put up the closed caption, put the writing at the bottom so we know what he's saying I couldn't understand him
Angel. Investors are excellent. Iam ready to link them with. Eugene Rudasingwa a worthy entrepreneur
Thank you so much dr for this important information
The Dr didn't answer the last question and that was did they do any research on the Avocado peel, and if so what did they find....?
They don’t want to tell the Truth about ALL the benefits of the seed!!
not revelant...... yes, revelant.
I commented the same. CZcams has been out for ever and so many people don't know about the Playback speed settings lol
Are the molecules contained also in the seed, flesh and skin of avocado as well?
If you don't understand him then go to settings and Playback speed @ 0.75x
Convincing answer doctor. I believe you are right Maybe anti bacterial and anti fungal
Commercial guacamole manufacturer like Tostitos, they would have a never ending supply of seeds and husks.

LOL. Tostitos is a game !!

How can avocado seed husk help?
Unanswered question about the possible value of the avocado peel, the outside skin - has it any value?
Is the husk of the pit nontoxic if you were making a tea from the pit?
Brilliant
I hope he doesn't end up like Dr. Sebi💀😡👀😢
The problem is not being able to understand what is being said. Which means the information isn't received.
is this very good for kidney's
Hees talking about mixing it with wax. I wonder if your supposed to rub it on instead of ingesting it?
Understood him, maybe bc I do speak more than 1 language. Good info, have friends tt do believe in this concoction & use it religiously.
Peel @ 17mins ,benefits not made clear. Info please

Can you eat skin or should we peel it from the seed before pulverizing into powder ? I’m not sure if the skin is the husk but have been told not to eat it
I considered the same but when you consider there are such chemicals as plasticizers and toluene, I'm rethinking that. After all, the husk is designed as "chemical warfare" to protect against predators and protect the avocado's precious "child", its seed for the next generation.
@@johnc.8298 Makes perfect sense. !!!
@@ritahall2378 Hi Rita, just moments ago I saw this newscast of these findings. He said there are also carcinogens in the husk.
czcams.com/video/xgUw97s75GA/video.html
@@johnc.8298 Do you mean a be large seed inside also besides the outer skin of the seed -this information says to eat the skin and the seed and the avacodo fruit- please explain - I eat the seeds and the Ava coda fruit
@@ritahall2378 The researcher was only dealing with the husk. I've seen other videos extolling the benefits of the seed itself however. Here is a vid supporting eating the seed.
czcams.com/video/K554maMvW00/video.html
ONE question: If humans were meant to consume the seed (or ANY PART of the seed), then HOW did our ancestors do it BEFORE blenders were invented??
Used fire
Rocks are everywhere
Bite with mouth and chew, then swallow
Special kind of dumb
They could've dried them and made into a powder, or boiled the seeds. You can boil the seeds to make a tea. It tastes smooth & creamy, you can tell it's avocado tea. Boil seeds for 10 to 15 minutes, the longer you boil, the more taste and darker color.
Closed caption!! You can read,You understand him switch it on during video!!
If I grind the husk of the seed,into fine powder like ,can I use it to my smoothie?
If you have a high speed blender like a vitamin mix or a ninja blender you don't need to dry it you can simply take rhe seed out and throw into the blender with other fruit and blend it.
Powerful
I have more avocado seeds here in Philippines...
Did you see Snow flower biotech channel - Why avocado trees from seeds for medicinal leaves?
Please we need to get to list of advert you will be showing not to change quickly before we could install it like the one showing to today for $ 30 free I can't get it again why sending it in the first place and can't go back to it is it a scam or what .
ကျေးဇူးပါဆရာမ
Yes why didn't he answer the last question?????????,?
P Mag because they don’t want to tell the truth about all the benefits of the seed!!!
Can someone please help me? Can you blend them raw?is it nessesary to put in the oven?
@@tocolitic thanks for answering
@@tocolitic that's amazing, im not going to lie but i barely ever take it because i already take other supplements and knew little about this, if i take it il put some on my salad it's a little bitter but im used to taking suplements
We’ve been collecting and grinding the husk. Then powdering and using as a supplement. Did he say that as well as anti-cancer chemicals, it contains a large amount of plasticiser? Oh oh ... 😯😂
Yes I got the same message, I doubt it would be safe consuming the plasticisers
He said the flesh has the anti cancer
*The PEEL has NO APPEAL!*
16:41
...So, we cure and grind up our seed husks and eat it now?
naw, most of the compounds are toxic as stated at 12:37 and 13:52, 34% of the it is benzyl butyl phthalate, used in PVC. Ick.
Yes that could be true, but they could be lying also, to protect their research. The pharma or research company would be spending millions of dollars on this research...so guaranteed these greedy drug company developers are not going to give their research findings away so easily without a hitch or a deterrent to the public. Their company doesn't want to purchase the avocado hass, they want to set up bins at the stores so you the consumer can give them the seed and husk for FREE. Then after developing these cures/drugs they'll make YOU the public pay a high price to be healed by them.
Cunning and morally unethical.
Brandon Smith Additionally, the see itself has antioxidant and vitamins as beneficial.

Good to know. WOW!
Does the husk of avocado seed have any aphrodisiac potencies ? I am from Malawi. Mohomed Rafiq.
Hi 👋
10:21 the doctor vies off the question asked. My explanation would be basic. Seeds are supposed to be dispersed from a tree for continuity of life. once the fruit has been eaten, we have the seed coat and seed itself. So to protect it from all the other tough conditions like disease, animals, etc. THe seed has these chemical compunds to make it out on the toughest of conditions. Theres no need to talk about waste here. But good job dr, well researched
I can do my on research from what I could understand....
I am eating a pizza with ground avocados it is very good
I'm going to make a avocado tea
Just use close caption! Hello 🤷♂️🤷♀️!
Accents are difficult to overcome. On top of that, male scientists spend most of their time quietly working and very little time socializing. As a result they are very slow to improve accent because they spend little time conversing with others compared to the general population.
Anyway, I could understand him and very much appreciate his work.
He is my professor I can tell you that his time/schedule is mostly research even during holidays.
Can't understand 50% of what he says.
Im gonna eat some and see what happens
cajunski1 how did you do? Thanks.

Dr. Deb🎉
Not all so its missing vital information if you can't understand !!
So having weighed a few avacardo husks; average weight being 1/2 a gram. With his % of BBP; let's take 'pret a mange' stats of using 5million avacardo per year in the UK that would = 2.5 tonnes of husk. This would then = 250kg of BBP. At the moment the whole sale price per tonne is $2500-$3500. So all of prets waste avacardo seeds will net them $625-$875 per year if they could refine it them selves. It is not commercially viable with just this chemical as transport and extraction would negate any profit. BBP being an extremely hazardous compound when refined for use in the plastics industry.
Buy Organic because this is one that also is GMO grown!
This is why the world is the way it is the focus isn’t on this gentleman speech it’s about the seed of the avocado with that being said the last question was what about the skin of the avocado?? Does it contain antioxidant just as the lemon of the skin has so many benefits can anyone answer this question please no idiots meaning we are all different in race we all speak different if you cannot comply to the main subject then find something else to watch. Does anyone have the answer of the skin of the avocado and does it have benefits?
The best question was the last question and it wasn't answered 🙄
Would have been more beneficial if I could have understood his accent. Next time have a translator. I would like to learn more.
Uh.... No!
Cut those up in chunks (very hard and slippery to cut)
Put in mason jars and fill with 70% alcohol until you reach the avocado pitts
Let sit and soak and rub it for back pain, joints, knee pain, etc! A M A Z I N G!!!! It WORKS!!!
most people who criticize other are not perfect.. if they are, they will surely won't criticize because that's they knew it from within,, they are not perfect.
Oh my God the ascent its just terrible cant hear anythinh aeish .will forget about this
And we all thank you for that!!
What do you call someone who speaks two languages?

Nothing new under the sun. Haitians were making powder from avocado seeds for generations.
GOD IS GOOD TO US.
I boiled them up then cut them into pieces boiled them up again and drank the tea. Yuck so awful tasting I just couldn’t drink it. Maybe I followed some bogus recipe??
😂
add lemon and honey, the lemon will cut through the bitter taste!
So hard to UNDERSTAND what he is saying
can i eat boiled avocado seed just like boiled potato ?
No
I just watched a lady do it

please!be sincere and truthfully in the explanations to all medicines researchers concerning the all fruits that are good and important to body healthcare when consuming it...because I always eat avacado in my diet,and what I am really don't know that Avacsdo's seed could be eaten as well...but I doubt it might be harmful to the body circular function....please may I know in details about avacsdo's seed users to consumers everyday diet,and also for the benifits to channel Subcribtion in Utube viewers,and also it's very valuable cost price in return to all subscribers...well then,Sincierities,And Truths are the best policies,and is throughout the window to achieve success in this world wide Businesses Commercials.....Thanks!!!!...👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏

Any brain box like this doctor either belongs to a different background from where he is talking. Think about names of medications coming from the Greek language. I understood Him very well and I guarantee you if we put 20 of our best brains together, we will not be able to compete with his one.
An American accent has nothing to do with intellectual capacity. Science is a global study... it is our benefit that we study as a global world and not just a single culture.
At least he is smart enough to be able to communicate in a foreign language that is very difficult to master. Most Americans cannot even master English, let alone a foreign language.
Is Just Me.. I can’t understand the sentence you wrote either! So you probably shouldn’t judge a foreign language speaker’s accent when you can’t speak English yourself. Bottom line... if someone speaks English with an accent, it means they are fluent in at least one or more other languages which makes them far more intelligent and educated than most people.
Read this in his dialect Blah blah blah that's all I got.
