This post here claims that 2 tbsp. of chia seed has 20% protein, 100% more omega 3 than salmon,5 times more calcium than milk, 3x more iron than spinach, 41% fiber. I was like could this really be true? Is Chia seed a true superfood that we should be consuming more everyday? Let’s break it down and see how far these claims are true based on research and facts. From a hindsight view this sounded possible, that chia seed has 17g protein, 42% iron, and 17.83 grams of omega 3, but these are for 100g of chia seeds, not 2tablespoon. 100 g means 30 teaspoons of chia seeds. so let’s see what in 2 tbsp of chia seeds, it has 4g of protein, 11g fiber, and approx. omega 3 is 3.4g but that is ALA. The bio-available form of omega 3 is EPA and DHA and not ALA (alpha lipoic acid), so the absorption rate of omega 3 can’t be determined and it is inefficient in the majority of the population. Whereas 100g salmon contains 2.3g omega 3 which is EPA and DHA form which is directly absorbed and readily available for the body. So striking out omega 3. Ok, coming to the calcium it is more than milk only when you consume 30 teaspoons every day when compared to 1 cup of milk. According to studies, the calcium absorption rate is very poor and in fact, results in lower calcium balance. So calcium struck out. Coming to iron, the iron here is nonheme iron but the iron in our body is heme iron which gives that red color to our blood cells. which means less than 1-10% is absorbed which is also not evident. Remember these are all if you consume 30 teaspoons even then the absorption is not bio-available. We are striking out the iron now!Don’t miss the part 3 video to completely know about these claims and its true facts!#chiaseedspudding #chiaseedsbenefit #breakingdownfacts #breakingdownchiaseeds #chiaseedsfacts #histichealth #chíaseeds #chiaseedsomega3 #chiaseedsprotein #chiaseedsuperfood 04/09/2024
