I mentioned chia seed in our flax thread, but though it could use it's own.
It has a huge list of benefits, is higher in omega 3's than flax, does not need ground in order for the benefits, is very mild tasting and can be added to almost anything and is a great fibre suppliment. Apparently it's also very good for diabetics for stabilizing blood sugar. I've included some sites below with info on it.
There is also a brand name of white chia called Salba, which is more pricey, though claims to have more consistent nutrtional benefits, but after research I didn't find it was worth the price.
I buy mine from the local bulk store, it's $20 a lb so it's more pricey than flax, but a pound of chia easily lasts me 2 months (i take max 2 tbsns a day).

From what i've researched I've yet to find any negative reports on the seeds as well.
