Now he has written a fascinating book on the health benefits of chia. Everyone should read this new book about this old food that has become available once again."—Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D."The combined effect (of desert foods such as chia, cholla, and mesquite) is to prevent wide swings in blood sugar, slow down the digestive process, and delay the return of hunger."—Jane E.
