Health aspect of Grape Seed and Oil quoted from Foxmill
Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins or OPCs are a class of falconoid complexes found in grape seeds and skin, that act as antioxidants (free radical scavengers) in the human body.
" Thus, OPCs may help protect against the effects of internal and environmental stresses (such as cigarette smoking, pollution, and supporting normal body metabolic processes). The effects may include depressing blood fat, emolliating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, preventing blood vessel scleroses, dropping blood viscidity and preventing thrombus formation (a type of platelet clot).

Health aspect of Styrian Pumpkin Seeds information is sourced from http://www.reach.net/~scherer/p/strpmpkn.htm
The Styrian pumpkin itself is not used as a food item. It was - if at all - considered suitable for animals only. The vegetable aspect of its fruit was never a contender against other pumpkin varieties that produce more and better fruit pulp than the Styrian pumpkin. However, the seeds of pumpkins have been used for ages as "snack-food" especially in the Mediterranean area with the known "side-effect" of easing and preventing bladder and prostate problems. This effect makes the Styrian pumpkin seeds so valuable today, since the amount of this beneficial ingredient is significantly higher than in any other variety. This amount of medicinal substance is so extraordinary that this Styrian variety is today grown for the seed's ingredients alone, hence only the seeds are harvested and the pumpkin pulp is discarded as "fertilizer" and left on the field. The absence of a hard shell around the seeds makes them even more desirable.
