Remember, don't overeat seaweed
Even though seaweed offers a variety of health benefits to the body, you should only consume these foods, especially for people who have hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid gland). Because the high iodine content in seaweed will stimulate the thyroid gland in the body.
Not only that, seaweed also absorbs all kinds of minerals in the sea. It could be that this plant absorbs arsenic and contains contaminated chemical waste in the sea. That is why, if consumed in excess, it will not be good for the health of the body.
