2007-07-14 How to eat scum...!

Yes, algaes are rich in chlorophyll, protein, minerals and other nutrients but they also thrive in acid conditions. And what are they really? The scum you see growing on the surface of stagnant ponds! Toxins in algae have been shown to harm the liver and nervous system and spur tumor growth in animals. Algae do contain vitamin B12, although not in its pure state. It is made by bacteria that gets into the algae via bird feathers and droppings. Fourtunately, a day's dose of B12 can be found in organic broccoli, a far tastier source.
