Is it good to eat seaweed?
A new research report published by a Japanese academic institution on the 11th showed that if women after menopause often consume seaweed, because seaweed is rich in iodine, it may increase the risk of thyroid cancer.
The report said: "Eating seaweed is obviously associated with an increased risk of papillary adenocarcinoma." Japanese people generally add to seaweed, including kelp and other kind of seaweed, and regard them as healthy foods.
The reason why regular consumption of seaweed by women after menopause may increase the risk of cancer remains unclear. The report pointed out that it may be related to the iodine contained in seaweed.
Master Chen Yikui believes that in the past years, many people did get goiter disease due to insufficient intake of the trace element iodine, which is commonly known as the "big neck" disease. People who get sick have bigger necks. A lump almost as big as the skull appeared.
Because of this, people have always thought that "eating foods with high iodine content can cure the neck illness", but this concept is wrong. After you get goiter, you can't be cured by taking iodine. Taking iodine can only be prevented, so that people don't get this uncomfortable strange disease.
It doesn't matter if the news released by this Japanese research institute is right or wrong. However, in the research conducted by Master Chen Yikui, it was found that the intake of the trace element iodine can make people become more active in their personality and active in their actions. For women, they will become more "accurate" and more "fierce." Of course, this kind of change was unacceptable in the past farming and fishery society, but in modern society, a proactive woman with the characteristics of being "accurate" and "fierce" is not necessarily a bad thing in the workplace.
