Best place I know to ask this and I sure hope Brooks Bradley will weigh in.
The problem is the question of arsenic in kelp. I'm eating Thorvin Laminaria Digitata. It is rated at less than 3ppm arsenic. The government says foods should contain not over 2 ppm. Thorvin Laminaria Digitata is supposed to be the best and cleanest kelp in the world. I am finding better effects from taking more kelp than I've ever taken before. I'm taking ususally two heaping teaspoons a day (regular eating-size teaspoons) My initial reason for doing so was to get more greenery in my diet, which is a problem for me as I tend not too get enough greenery. I've tried all kinds of green powders and pills and kelp agrees with me much better than anything else to date. The surprise was that I got more energy from it. I sure don't want to overload on arsenic. It is supposedly 4 times more poisonous than mercury. However I do realize that the word arsenic covers a broad range of compounds, some that may pass harmlessly through the body, and some of which may actually be good for the heart. I am also aware that eating sulfurous foods and supplements supposedly will take out arsenic. I take both DMSO and MSM, but not too much of either. I eat lots of eggs, almost all raw or lightly cooked, so I'm supposedly getting plenty of cysteine, which also suppposedly takes out arsenic. So- how does one determine the likelihood of arsenic poisoning in such a scenario? Daddybob -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
