Sea Vegetables & Mercury



Several people have asked me about the threat of mercury in sea vegetables. Like arsenic, it is possible that sea vegetables can absorb mercury. But, the mercury levels are nowhere near what you would find in swordfish, tuna or other large fish. Awhile back it was found that sea vegetables from Norway and Japan both contained small amounts of mercury, but the levels were such that it was considered safe.

Hello,
I came across your blog and we are kindred spirits in the sea vegetable quest world-realm.
I found a drink call Body Balance that has 9 types of Sea Vegetable from all three color groups, brown green and red.
It is then blended with organic inner leaf of aloe vera.
YUM.
Tested and no mercury! yay!
Ive never felt better and have not been sick since I started over two years ago.
The more I learn the more im amazed how medicinal and good sea veges are.
I think everyone should be eating sea vegetables.
