    I am not going to dance on the graves of dead babies, but in all honesty these parents who murder their babies? Their graves should be fucking dance floors. A stupid, paranoid nation cannot survive. #antivax #antivaxx #vitaminK 🤬

    CW: Chia seed vitamin K mystery

    Seems like the chia seed vitamin K levels have been revised in Cronometer. My husband said his K intake has been low this week and I asked if he was still eating chia; he said yes. I checked Cronometer and both NCCDB and CRDB report relatively low values now (4.3 and 3.7 µg/100g, respectively). I'm certain this was not the case previously.

    USDA agrees with NCCDB -

    I tried searching PubMed and didn't find as much on chia nutritional content as I had expected; none of the recent reviews listed vitamin K content.

    I did come across a rather strange article on the development of a nutraceutical ice cream formulation containing insect larvae and either chia or quinoa. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

    In Table 4, you can see the vitamin K levels for 4 different formulations; the one with chia had a high amount of vitamin K - 997 µg/100g dry sample. For comparison, the formulation with quinoa had a value of 554.75 and the 2 without either chia or quinoa were listed as ND - no vitamin K

    So now I'm really perplexed as it seems that in this study, chia contributed quite a lot of vitamin K to the ice cream.

    Out of curiosity, I checked the USDA database for quinoa; it reports uncooked quinoa as containing 1.1 µg/100g of menaquinine-4 and 0 phylloquinone).
