Also, it's only the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats that are so easily oxidized. Corn oil and soy oil are high in omega-6 PUFAs and are quite stable.

There are plenty of recipes for chia muffins and the like, but now I'm wondering if they're on the wrong track. How do chia seeds’ EFAs hold up during baking?

Before adding the egg whites to my smoothies, I heat the egg whites a tad which is supposed to neutralize the avidin in them which binds to the B-vitamin biotin. I don't want to eat eggs Rocky style either, but I blend the eggs for just 5 seconds with the hope that I keep more of their nutritional value.

If I cook them over-easy like I always do and don't break the yokes until I eat them, does that take away the nutriants? I don't think I can eat them raw like Rocky.
