    My internal garden will have pretty pink flowers in it, I'm sure.

    this is garbage and unscientific. If there is no research or data its opinion.

    I trust the Onion more than the FDA. It should be a rule on this site if you're going to post stuff like this you need to post a link to a legit and at least somewhat trusted site with research and proof.

    I know it's a zombie thread, but my mom used to yell this at me, every time I would ask for a Chia Pet at the store. To be fair though, I never could get them to grow anyway. #Red_Hot_Terra_Cotta_Disappointment

    this is a joke post -- look at the so called detrimental effects:

    Potential health hazards include: inability to eat a full and varied diet due to lack of space in the stomach--LOL

    , extended periods of satiation, (i.e. feeling full and not hungry

    overabundance of vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream, (i.e. too much of a good thing)

    and the possibility of the seeds implanting into the lining of the stomach and intestines, thereby growing an internal herb garden that cannot be controlled by traditional means. --plants do not grown in your stomach--

    The whole post is nothing but a joke

    So that watermelon that grew in me when I was a kid and swallowed a watermelon seed wasn't there? Learn some science before you spout your nonsense.

    I don't eat chia seeds so I don't really care but I did search the FDA site and the only thing on there regarding chia seeds was a recall for salmonella contaminated seeds.

    link to the article:

    www.theonion.com/chiaseeds

    There is no such article there! I didn't get this from a satire site, thank you very much!

    The onion is not a good source for anything other than entertainment. Though I haven't tried chia seeds myself. I know the Onion from fb posts. Always printing bogus stuff.

    I'm flattered that you all think this was good enough for The Onion, which as we all know is a very reputable and consistent site for timely current events and information. :D

    Well, thanks for creating a thread on the effects of chia seeds. I also have a few queries. I was so excited to find the multiple benefits of chia seeds, but i also got worried after reading a few side effects over many places

    like : http://www.healthy-drinks.net/side-effects-of-chia-seeds/

    where chia seeds are found to be linked with prostate cancer, blood sugar, Diarrhea and other things.

    Any kind of relevant information will be appreciated.


    Thanks!
