sounds like a good excuse to run an epi cycle and use cel's new topical form during pct.

I remember Johnny Bowden speaking about Chia

Q: I've seen claims that chia seeds are better than flaxseeds or even fish oil. What do you think?

A: Wild guess: You heard those claims from someone trying to sell you chia seeds.

Chia appears to be a perfectly good food, and a reasonable substitute for flaxseeds as a plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. The USDA database shows that chia seeds have a bit more fiber, flaxseeds have a bit more protein, chia has more calcium and phosphorus, and flaxseeds have more undifferentiated polyunsaturated fats.

Overall, they're not terribly different. In the amounts you're likely to consume — a couple of tablespoons here and there — it shouldn't make a huge difference, except in terms of convenience. You have to grind flaxseeds because they have a hard coat; chia seeds don't.

To be fair, there have been some studies of chia — a member of the mint family whose real name is Slavia Hispanica L. — that show it lowers blood pressure and inflammation and improves blood-sugar control in diabetics. But there's been a lot of research on the benefits of flaxseeds as well. One thing that flaxseeds have over chia seeds is the presence of lignans, which have been found to have multiple health benefits, including anti-cancer activity.

There's been a ton of press about a particular brand of chia seeds called Salba, which the manufacturers claim is far superior to "regular" chia. In fact, they used Salba in the research study I mentioned above.

But Wayne Coates, Ph.D., a research professor at the University of Arizona and the author of a great book on the subject (Chia: Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs) thinks the marketing of Salba is a crock; he says it's "just white chia." His website compares white and black chia, and you can see at a glance that there isn't a difference. So there's no reason to pay a premium price for Salba.

As far as the comparison to fish oil, that's totally ridiculous. Chia and flax are sources of alpha-linolenic acid, a plant-based omega-3, so it's fair to compare them. Fish and fish oil contain EPA and DHA, two completely different omega-3s that in my opinion are more important. There's no comparison!

The body will make EPA and DHA from alpha-linolenic acid, but not terribly well. If alpha-linolenic acid is your only source of omega-3s, you'd better be sure you're getting at least a tablespoon or more of flaxseed oil a day, or a couple tablespoons of flaxseeds or chia seeds. The best flaxseeds are Barlean's Forti-Flax, which are organic and have a nutty taste. You can sprinkle them on anything.

On the other hand, with chia seeds you can always stick them on some stupid little clay figurine and give it as a Christmas gift to someone who hasn't discovered video games.

Yep - John Madden got a little Telestrator-happy during the Giants/Cowboys game this weekend. There’s not much else to say about this clip other than, what in god’s name is that second line??
