Emerald Cove Nori Sheets- you think ok now?

Emerald Cove Organic Pacific Nori, ocean plant..I love it, BUT, I was wondering, like alot of raw foodies I eat this brand of untoasted raw nori. I was wondering since FUKUSHIMA, I have heard stories of people who eat fish from the Pacific ocean are now getting radiation. That all the Pacific Tuna has doubled etc. Would Nori plants absorb the radiation? Is it safe to eat? I mean there is so much radiation been poured into the ocean daily from Japan. I enjoy these nori sheets. On one hand iodine helps the body not uptake the radioactive kind. Right?

As long as your not eating crazy amounts, you should be fine. Nori is a great choice of sea vegetable and rich in many nutrients.

Like i say aslong as your not eating packs upon packs a day, you'll be fine and like all sea vegetables there a good source of many hard to get nutrients such as iodine and other trace elements.

Personally i prefer kelp because it contains a type of fiber called algin that binds to heavy metals and radioactive elements if present. Which makes it the safest choice of sea vegetable in my opinion. Natures way or Now foods are good brands of kelp - Natures Way Kelp Capsules

Good to know about Kelp. I heard that about Zeolite too. I have a bag of it. I sometimes put in smoothies. I also take iodine drops in water so I dont get the radiation out there. They say all the north of equator will be affected and by next June the radiation will hit our coasts.

I found this one they say
Our product is USDA / Ecocert Certified Organic, as well as Kosher Certified. In addition we also test at a independent Laboratory here in the U.S. for more then 450 potential contaminants including pesticide residues and heavy metals, as well as 16 different Isotopes of Radiation. Out Nori has come out 100 percent "Non Detectable" in every single category. Our Nori was NOT affected by the Japan Earthquake or Radiation situation!! Our Nori is grown South of Japan away from and in the opposite direction of the currents of Japan! We test our Nori everyday to keep in compliance with the EcoCert Organic Certification. Rest assured, our Nori is the Safest, Cleanest you will find anywhere in the world. other seller's Non-Organic Nori is NOT tested!! Beware of chemicals and radiation.

CC, I saw that one too on Amazon. How can we be sure they are truthful? Is there a way of checking?

I bought another brand online and I guess you just have to decide whether to take the chance. I love nori, though, and so I decided to buy it!

BW, I wonder if the FDA would give information like this on companies. But then again the FDA isn't exactly the most trustworthy administration.

I won't eat nori for this reason.

I don't want that radiation in my body.

Plus, seaweed is like the ocean's water filter.

Not optimal in any way shape or form!

You'll get over it. winking smiley

Thanks for bringing this up.

Take Care!

I just ordered some from Iceland. I heard of Coast to Coast that kelp etc is really good for removing radiation but you cannot get it from contaminated source. Radiation is here BABIES!! We all have to deal. This doctor says kelp, seaweeds propbiotics etc have to be a way of life, for your entire life if you are in Northern hemisphere. Also iodine and thyroid function.
