Well, there's got to be SOMETHING in the food supply, the water supply, the environment, or all three, that is having all these bad effects on people nowadays --- all this overweight, obesity, nut allergies, celiac disease, autism, and all this other nonsense that does not seem to have been such a problem in times past. (Not saying it didn't exist, it just wasn't endemic like it is now.) I don't think it comes from the great apostasy (at least not in full --- the whole world has "spiritual rickets"), and I don't think it all comes from today's lifestyle that is supposedly so much more sedentary than in times past. When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, we were taught in health class that the recommended daily diet was 3500 calories. Now they're saying 2000. I don't think people burned off all those extra calories walking to the bus stop, washing dishes by hand, and so on. People sat and read, and sitting is sitting, whether you're reading a book or newspaper, or looking at a computer screen. So what happened?
I looked online for spirulina and it seems like the daily dose, for the granulated powder supplement, is 8 grams (8000 mg). Can that be correct? I picked up a bottle of the Spring Valley brand of spirulina (from Walmart) after I read this, and they recommend a dosage of 800 mg (two capsules), one-tenth what I see on the package from the link that was posted here on CI. Is the Spring Valley brand any good? I see it is made in China, which doesn't fill my heart with joy, but I do not have money to burn, so I just had to buy what was cheap and nearby.
