Can eating too much seaweed do harm to your health?
Seaweed should not be eaten too much. Excessive consumption is harmful to health.

Reason:

Seaweed is an edible food made from dried laver with or without food additives and other raw materials by baking. According to different production and processing technologies, it can be divided into seasoning seaweed, baked seaweed and rock-burned seaweed. Because of the high iodine content in seaweed, people in iodine-deficient areas often eat seaweed, which can supplement iodine. However, in iodine-deficient areas, eating seaweed in large quantities at one time or eating too much seaweed often will increase the possibility of excessive iodine intake.

China Nutrition Society suggested that the recommended daily intake of iodine is 120 micrograms, and the maximum tolerable intake is 600 micrograms. 100 grams of laver contains 4323 micrograms of iodine, and the recommended daily amount is 2 to 3 grams.

Precautions:

(1), seaweed is very sensitive to light, temperature, humidity, oxygen, etc. When exposed to light or in high temperature and high humidity environment, the quality will deteriorate, which will make the taste of seaweed worse. Seaweed should be stored in a refrigerator or freezer. If you don't eat it immediately after opening, seaweed will become soft and lose its taste. When eating, take as much as you want.

(2) There is desiccant in the packaging of seaweed products. If the packaging of desiccant is damaged, please don't eat seaweed in the same packaging. The desiccant should not be eaten or played with, soaked in water, and the desiccant bag should not be opened to avoid burning the skin or eyes. If you eat by mistake or get into your eyes, please rinse with plenty of water first and consult a doctor.

People's Health Network-State Food and Drug Administration: Eating 2 to 3 grams of seaweed a day is enough.
