While this is true, I think it also has to do with the fact that flaxseeds have been around in our society (America) for longer, therefore more people have had a chance to study them, rather than chia seeds. I'd be willing to bet more studies will be done in the future and they will have positive results. Either way, both chia and flax will help you reach your adequate intake of essential fats!Gina; The Candid RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034788087113648183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-25916975716998072422010-04-08T07:05:47.365-04:002010-04-08T07:05:47.365-04:00My mom is always up on nutrition!
