Dear Andy,
I believe a clarification may be in order. If you will review my
comments, i believe you will find I was referring to to "fresh"
kelp....not dehydrated, granulated kelp----when I made the statement
about my Japanese friend. One pound of fresh kelp will yield about 2 to
4 ounces of dehydrated (properly) granulated product, on average; or so
I am instructed. This would indicate a very high water fraction in this
vegetative organism.
I apologize if I was not sufficiently clear in my earlier statement.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. As I have stated, previously, it is the "isolated metal fraction"
that constitutes the real threat....not the organically sequestered
arsenic. There is an enormous difference in toxicity between the two.
