Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Your right that is the name of the book. Thanks. I went to NT and looked up carrageen. Sally lists a recipe for carrageen tea. Sounds delicious. (page 594 second edition) There is a side bar which explains how some people MAY have difficulty digesting the long chain sugars it contains, especially in commercial preparations. I wonder if these commercial preparations use powdered carrageen? May be the powdered form is over processed(heated or someother food torture!)She also suggests an overuse of seaweeds, of which carageean is one, can provide an overload of iodine which effects thyroid function as much as a deficiency would do. She suggests using carageen tea in moderation as the Irish do, because it " seems to be helpful for digestive disorders, including ulcers, kidney ailments, heart disease, and glandular irregularities. " Personaly I buy kelp and dulse in a shaker, which isn't powdered, but corsely ground, and use it in soups and cooked foods and raw vegetables. I don't now where I would get iodine if I din't eat kelp and dulse. How much,if any, is in Celtic sea salt? How much does a person need each day for optimal health?
