The elements abundant in
seaweeds include
iodine, magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, zinc, copper, chloride, sulfur, phosphorous, vanadium, cobalt, manganese, selenium, bromine, arsenic, iron, and fluorine. Alaria seaweed contains 770% iodine in a 1/3 cup serving. When our bodies have a sufficient amount of iodine, it doesn't take on the
radioactive iodine that is present in the environment. It is only when our bodies lack iodine that it takes in
radioactive iodine and causes a
deficiency or
toxicity in our bodies (disease). Most places around the world, including
here in Ontario, have nuclear powers stations. It was important for us to consider more
seaweeds in our diet, so we made our own soup recipe incorporating some alaria seaweed.
