Chia seeds are an excellent source of
omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. The small generally grayish
seeds can be mixed in water or juice to make a refreshing beverage,
sprinkled on cereal or salads, or can be ground and mixed with flour and
baked. The nut like flavor is very pleasing.
Chia seed is similar
to flaxseed, but does not posses any of the anti-nutritional
compounds found in flax.

some government agencies say about restricting flaxseed intake.

I, Wayne Coates, am no longer associated with Jim and Sherri Wear or any of their companies, including LifeMax, Chia Farms, etc. Since early in the year, I have had no direct interaction with their processing operation; hence, I can no longer stand behind statements I have previously made. Additionally, I have requested that they remove my name from their many websites since our relationship has been terminated.
After reading an email sent by Paul Rogers and another by Paul Caldwell, each of which went out to distributors, and then listening to Paul Rogers on the Go Diamond call on 4/23/10 and the statements made by Jim and Sherri Wear on the 4/26/10 distributor conference call, I feel I must bring to the forefront a couple of points.
- Unbeknownst to me, the Wears have been working with Dr. Bob Arnot for over two months to bring him into the fold and have him become the spokesman for chia and have my presence eliminated.
- My wife and I loaned LifeMax and Chia Farms $100,000 to buy seed when Sherri asked us how much we could put in to assist with the purchase of seed. We have repeatedly asked to be paid back. On the 4/26/10 call, Sherri stated LifeMax has sold $7 million of Mila in the first 18 months. It appears we could have been repaid.
- I have not breached my contract as stated by the Wears and Mr. Rogers. I am only prohibited from participating in network marketing. I will continue my commitment to the promotion of chia because of its many health benefits.
