Seaweed to Tackle Rising Tide of Obesity

[Liffrea]

Seaweed could hold the key to tackling obesity after it was found it reduces fat uptake by more than 75 per cent, new research has shown.

Now the team at Newcastle University are adding seaweed fibre to bread to see if they can develop foods that help you lose weight while you eat them.

A team of scientists led by Dr Iain Brownlee and Prof Jeff Pearson have found that dietary fibre in one of the world's largest commercially-used seaweed could reduce the amount of fat absorbed by the body by around 75 per cent.

Yeah, we all know the unique dietary qualities of seaweed, however it should be avoided by people with hyper thyroid functions, especially the kelp.

P.S. I take Spirulina and I'm very satisfied with the positive effect on my body.
