My grandmother gave me the same warning about watermellon seeds......It's gotta be true, you should see some of the women walking around my local Meijer store wearing spandex. (the spandex has nothing to do with their condition tho)

LOL. Same here!
Actually, watermelon seeds can be dangerous. They cause the kidneys to stop working temporarily if you eat enough. In the old days, pregnant women with kidney problems were given watermelon seed tea to bypass the kidneys. They were an old time remedy.
Apple seeds contain arsenic, too. I suppose that's why eating fruit seeds isn't a big part of the American cuisine.
