Chia
Is Chia seed all it's cracked up to be, particularly as to its Omega 3
content? Thanks, I love your program.

Chia seeds is ok, though the oil in them is not utilized as well as fish oil. If you are not a pure vegetarian, you are better off with fish oil.

The omega-3 oils that are from flaxseed or other seeds are in the form of of alpha linolenic acid. This must be modified in the body into EPA and DHA to be useful, and it is very difficult for the body to do so. Therefore these are poor substitutes.
