''There is no scientific evidence that eating chia seeds has any effect on health or an anti-disease effect. We need WP:MEDRS sources for such claims.'' Zefr (talk) 22:11, 22 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry I forgot to add studies ( I am still new ). Chia seeds contains ALA that it is then converted to omega 3, so I stand by what I wrote. Elsa Terkist (talk) 11:20, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You can check other common edible seed articles, such as almond, peanut, or pumpkin seed (or any other seeds). They all contain ALA, but there are no/few MEDRS-quality sources to make the leap from eating seeds to lowering disease risk. Your edit on chia here where you promoted chia with having "medical benefits" has no sources in the literature to support such statements, and there are no Wikipedia articles on any individual food stating that consuming it alone provides medical benefits. Read WP:MEDRS for choosing sources and WP:MEDMOS for style. Further background is at WP:WHYMEDRS. Good luck. Zefr (talk) 17:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I appreciate your help. And you are correct, it seems that today no controlled trials in humans yet proved the health effect of chia seeds.
 * Here an article from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health that you may find interesting (not pubmed, you can check the part 'Chia Seeds and Health') https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/food-features/chia-seeds/ Elsa Terkist (talk) 20:11, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In terms of getting good nutrition, the common (unsalted) peanut has (compared to chia seeds) equal or better overall nutrient content, better availability and versatility in cooking, and cheaper cost. Zefr (talk) 22:50, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
