Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / November 2007Salba ? ..what's that all about ?
I read recently that Salba which is some kind of vegetation seen occasionally as greenery on these clay Chia animal dolls that you see in stores is somekind of miracle food-drug that evidently is good for you in so many ways....lowers BP, helps this and that and what not.....I think it is also available in some Health Food Stores as a kind of flatbread or something like that. Anybody know anything about it ? Is this research finding for real or is it just another of these phony miracle food-drug reports that corporations create with the compliance of unscrupulous groups ?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chia_seed . Salvia hispanica is another name for chia.Salba is a trademarked name for chia. -- Ron >See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chia_seed . Salvia hispanica is >another name for chia.Salba is a trademarked name for chia. Thanks for that but I was really wondering what people know and believe to be true and verifiable about the many claims being made that Salvia hispanica is a kind of wonder-drug food that controls High Blood Pressure and has evidently many other health advantages........Are those claims for real ? .....and if so how can you buy Salvia hispanica in an edible form other than the flatbread biscuits made by Salba.....?

It's just chia seeds and the main nutritional ingredient is the omega 3 fatty acid ALA. Arizonachia is a lower cost provider with less hype. You can get the same benefit(ALA) from flax, canola oil, hemp seeds, and walnuts. Fish oil with the omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA has even better results because that is the form the body uses, but may be more expensive. -- Ron Thanks for your response.
