Find out why this is the SEED considered by some as a SUPERFOOD.
Awesome book, filled with lots of history, and great scientific information regarding the amazing properties of Chia. A must read for anyone wanting the real facts about Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). Don't be fooled by the dangerous and toxic fish oil or Flax Seeds. Thats right, get the book and find out why these sources are not the best source at all for EFA's, and why Chia is far superior.
