Yeah I read that man, but what kind did she take and was it tested? If it were just tablets probably not, not a reputable company nor something to take alot long term. I know the guy I talked to said www.seaveg.com had the best and go there, perhaps they are the cleanest and safe to consume regularly? Not too much though I agree, but their Dulse was good to me and Kelp too in moderation. I know the stuff can be very good for you, but talking to him and him saying they all contained metals scared me. He did say theirs was very low in Mercury and Arsenic though, so I was happy he said that much! THE Aluminum was the only thing that scared me with the tests, it was higher than most on there. Some say take a good one daily and then you get this too? What to believe? I guess all foods can be bad for you and contain things, I guess finding the best and cleanest is what to look for correct? What would you do JK? I want to take some for the benefits at a low dose, but don't want to get worse.

Also in the clean Kelp would the minerals defuse or offset the little amount of metals and render then harmless? Thats another thing to think of. Iodine and Selenium can do just that, and they are in Kelp and Dulse! Would they help render it harmless if a good brand is used and be of benefit? Minerals are key to health, and they are high in them naturally. Yes there is other forms of iodine to take but at what cost? Isolated inorganic without other minerals in there with it to balance? Minerals are a balance, take one too long and too much it causes other problems and deficiencies, a whole food won't do that and is balanced by nature and what you need a whole. I try to stay away from supplements that are isolated, they never did me any good aside from magnesium which eventually did not work over time either. Food has always done me better.
