Today teh lady sitting beside me in office was dricking water with chia seeds to reduce weight. She said this is very popular in US and Europe. Is this true? Anyone would shall the experience?

Never heard of them until today! Just did a search and "high in omega-3 oils" - Ah ha! Fake! Well that was my first impression. There are a lot of sites claiming health benefits and even more trying to sell them to you! They come from Mexico and Guatemala, so don't expect a huge industry dealing with these. I don't think I would waste any more of my time researching Chia seeds.

I know that there is a new trend in the USA with a seed . Dr. Oz show had a seed on there but I thought it was a flax seed !
