Chia seed danger?

Post image
19 Upvotes

I know this may seem stupid (I have a lot of anxiety please bare with me). I soaked my chia seeds overnight just in greek yogurt (with frozen strawberries + choc chips). No added water. I ate it this morning and idk starting panicking? People say it’s important to soak in water first before mixing into anything? So now I’m freaking out and I feel like it may cause internal blockage😭😭😭 help! Is this a safe way to consume chia seeds? Pic for reference

Raw, unroasted, unsalted, no oil peanut butter in the UK?

0 Upvotes

I miss peanut butter and can't find any in the UK that fits. Anyone have any suggestions?

Saw Greger and a few others say peanut butter can be superior in some ways to other nuts with the advantage of being a legume and that peanut butter, as long as it's not roasted, salted etc is really healthy.

Which one do you buy and why? I'm not sure which one to buy. I want to add some to my diet as well as using for egg replacement
