fiber snack and has fucoxanthin.

Not only great for weight loss, this substance in sushi nori has the
ability to promote healthy skin, relieve metabolic syndrome, and
protect against arthritis.

grams of carbs, 2 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat.
Firstly, too much of a good thing is not always healthy, and this
applies to nori seaweed. Because although it has powerful healing
potential, there are also problems with excess iodine and other heavy
metals.

much but there’s also the effects of bioaccumulation over time. So
these metals which can be safe at small dosage becomes toxic as it
accumulates.
Although there are side effects that are true, cancer is on another total
level, and it would be horrible if eating nori could cause cancer to
users. Hence through some searching it shows that the worry was not
necessary.

called Hijiki. Which is a brown sea vegetable part of Japanese diet.

States, but also in countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
