Chia seeds

[Ivyella]

Hi, has anyone tried eating Chia seeds? Dr. Oz recommends them as a "super food" so I thought I would try them. He warns you that you can't eat the seeds meant for the Chia pets since they have pesticides. I went to my vitamin store and bought a little bag for eating. If you put the seeds in water they expand to almost 6 times in volume. I put 4 tablespoons in sugar free jello and ate 1/4 a day. My bowels are really moving very smoothly now and thats new (and good) since its usually sluggish. Anyway, it doesn't help reduce my appetite like Dr. Oz said but since its helping my bowels I think I'll keep taking 1 tbsp a day.
