Is it bad to eat jalapeno seeds?

Why do people remove jalapeno seeds?
What is this? The biggest reason you may want to remove your pepper seeds before cooking with or eating them is TEXTURE. When you are making a pepper sauce, hot sauce, or anything that blends into a thin or creamy texture, you'll notice the seeds will float throughout your liquid.
