Verboden in Europa maar super voedzaam en
bomvol omega 3
De EU burocraten verbieden weer eens een
superfood. Wat de boer niet kent verbied je gewoon denk de EU wederom. Hetzelfde verhaal
als met stevia, krillolie, algenolie etc etc. Onder het mom van veiligheid voor de
consumenten verbiedt men natuurprodukten maar kankerverwekkende pesticiden, chemicaliën
en sigaretten zijn geen probleem voor deze papiersnuivers. Superbron van omega 3 vetzuren
waar u volgens de EU wederom geen recht op heeft ! Zolang deze schandalige
marktbescherming bestaat haal ik de zaden uit Australië en de algenolie uit Zwitserland.
Eigenlijk te triest voor woorden maar het zij zo.
Leve het Europese democratische systeem
waar de burger zijn stem allang is verloren, of zijn we de hele show rondom de nieuwe
grondwet al vergeten?
Chia is rijk aan mucopolysacchariden en is
een uitstekende bron van oplosbare en onoplosbare voedingsvezels. De oplosbare
mucopolysacchariden vormen in contact met water een slijmachtige kleurloze massa aan de
oppervlakte van de zaadjes. Deze slijmstoffen hebben een gunstige invloed op het
verteringsstelsel. Ze hebben een sterk waterbindend vermogen waardoor ze de kwaliteit en
vastheid van de uitwerpselen verbeteren. Ze vormen ook een slijmlaag op de darm waardoor
ziekteverwekkende bacteriën minder schade kunnen veroorzaken en het herstel van het
darmvlies hersteld wordt [Link]
Goed alternatief voor vette vis
There is considerable evidence suggesting
that regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids prevents cardiovascular diseases,
including atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Most studies, however, have been carried out
with fish oils that are rich in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid fatty
acids, but alfa–linolenic fatty acid, which is a precursor of eicosapentaenoic acid
and docosahexaenoic acid, has received little attention. The purpose of the present study
was to assess the effect chia seed, which is the highest known vegetative source of
alfa–linolenic fatty acid, has on plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein
(HDL), low-density lipoprotein, triacylglycerol content, and fatty acid profile when fed
to rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were fed ad libitum 3 diets containing equal energy
levels derived from corn oil (T1), chia seed (T2), or chia oil (T3) for 4 weeks. At the
end of the feeding period, 6 rats from each treatment were used for blood analyses. Blood
samples were analyzed for total cholesterol, HDL, low-density lipoprotein, triacylglycerol
content, and fatty acid composition. Rats fed chia showed a significant decrease in serum
triacylglycerol content, 3 and 2.5 times lower than the control for T2 and T3,
respectively. There was a significant increase in serum HDL cholesterol content, 21.8% and
51% for T2 and T3, respectively, with the increase between chia diets being significant (P
< .05). Total cholesterol was significantly lower for the T2 diet compared with the T3
diet. Serum fatty acid composition showed a significantly higher alfa–linolenic acid
content and an improved ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids for T2 and T3 compared with
T1. In summary, the chia diets dramatically decreased triacylglycerol levels and increased
HDL cholesterol and omega-3 fatty acid contents in rat serum. These findings suggest that
alfa-linolenic–rich chia oil may be an alternative to omega-3 sources for vegetarians
and people allergic to fish and fish products.
While hard facts were once scarce on the
benefits of chia seeds as a nutritional supplement, more chia seed research has been done
over the past decade. Some of that research has been funded by chia producers, eager to
prove the benefits of a new product, and some by the health food industry in general.
Independent and government researchers have studied chia seeds, assessing factors such as
nutritional composition and usefulness in treatment or prevention of a number of diseases,
among others.

Chia seeds, packed with nutrition,
have become a health-food fad
According to a 2007 University of Toronto
study published in the journal Diabetes Care, a quarter-cup of chia seeds supplies as much
omega-3 fatty acid as a salmon fillet, 25 percent more dietary fiber than flaxseed, 30
percent more antioxidants than blueberries and as much calcium as three cups of milk.
The following is part one of an interview
with Dr. Wayne Coates, who is perhaps the world’s foremost educator on chia seeds.
Dr. Coates was among the first to grow chia seeds experimentally and later for commercial
purposes.
