Which Seaweed Is Most Protective Against Breast Cancer?

DESCRIPTION: Nori seaweed snacks may favorably alter estrogen metabolism by modulating women's gut flora, resulting in decreased breast cancer risk.

Seaweed snacks are like kale chips, munchies made out of dark green leafy vegetables—can't beat that!

From my recent research into iodine I have read that it helps regulate female hormones so in my opinion that is the component of the seaweed which is reducing breast cancer rates. The WHO also states that a large portion of the population has low levels. It also seems to have amazing results with removing heavy metals from the body etc

It is going to be tough, and expensive, to eat all this in one day, every day, but I'm up to the challenge. I may have to purchase a lorry.

I would think getting breast cancer is more expensive....I could be wrong. :)

be super careful with kelp. very small quantities will give you a megadose of iodine

AWESOME 👏 THANK YOU‼️⭐️ONE SHEET OF NORI A DAY = BREAST CANCER RISK CUT IN HALF‼️

I wonder if any nutritional benefits are reduced when cooked as the nori sheets are roasted or fried

[Agaruut]

loled when he said american women are much bigger ;)

Annie Chun's Roasted Seaweed snack is sold at target. Sesame and Wasabi Flavor. I don't like seaweed but manage to eat the sesame ones. They do have salt. You can get seaweed and dulse on amazon, as well.

too bad the seaweed is all radiated from fukashima right now

[brianrichards]

The oceans are polluted, so where does one buy seaweed that is relatively unpolluted?

If Kelp lowers Estrogen does it lower Testosterone too?

[danielmanahan]

there is so much seaweed right off the beach. but is there a good way to prepare it so we don't get disease from the oceans?

[beyondtheprogramming]

if you go to a store and buy sea weed, it could be from anywhere. all the sea weed we have access to is testing out contaminated with radiation and other poisons (that's what sea weed does, absorbs all sorts of poison - would you really want to eat that for health?) instead, i'd be recommending chlorella, spirulina and other non-contaminated blue green algaes that have been grown in controlled pristine conditions - with lots of bio-dynamic leafy green veggies and home-grown sprouts on the side.

The tricky part is trying to actually measure the effective dose if eaten, in uSv. I bet it will be quite a bit more damaging than the free air dose suggests.

[curoiquenchin]

that's good. you'll get the benefits of the seaweed and radiotherapy altogether :)

[katch]

How is going to take place with Radiation problems!

[heartpowerpodcast]

Really enjoy your vids would be great if you could do one on iodine :) thanks!

[memeoid]

How much iodine do you recommend to supplement with, if at all?

[AstralSorm]

Nope, more like drawbacks of radiation. The seaweed was always about 50% more radioactive than background (bananas are only a bit more radioactive). Fukushima incident doubled this, now they're nearly 2x background dose. The problematic part is that about 1/5th of this is alpha particles, most of it being in form of radioiodine - tends to mess up thyroid way more than normal iodine.

There is a brand of spirulina that they grown in the deserts of the South West US which I used to love until this particular Youtube channel claimed spirulina was toxic and now I'm afraid of using it because I have no way to judge if he is correct. Too bad it seemed to be improving my complexion.
