Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have you tried them? I hear they are an appetite suppressant and have a lot of fiber. I believe the have a carb count of about 2. Are they worth it?

Chia seeds, 12 carbs, 11 fiber per oz= 1 net carb per ounce. Are they "worth it" ? I have no experience with the product but after doing some web research I find them to be marketed as a cure all super food. From my experience that means "snake oil salesman" If anyone has had success or experience with these seeds please let us know.
