FDA: Chia seed may result in serious health hazards

While this seed was used in ancient times to provide long-term sustenance as well as reliable hydration for military troops, it has become clear to us that in our current climate, the risks of ingestion outweigh the benefits. We do not recommend that anyone regularly ingest this plant product. 

Potential health hazards include: inability to eat a full and varied diet due to lack of space in the stomach, extended periods of satiation, overabundance of vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream, 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. This list is not a comprehensive list of side effects that may occur from the regular ingestion of Chia.

Tento text sice putuje internetem, ale není pravdivý - FDA takové nesmyslné vyjádření nikdy nevydala. Chia semínka jsou v USA považována za potravinu a jsou volně prodejná. Zde je vyjádření FDA k chia semínkům k dispozici: http://www.azchia.com/chia-seeds-fda-ruling/
