ARSENICJuice Drinkers have Higher Arsenic Levels than Non-Juice Drinkers

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) raising concerns about arsenic poisoning through the diet. Ten percent of the88 juice samples tested had arsenic levels exceeding the U.S. federal drinking-water standard

SOURCES OF ARSENICGroundwater is one of the most common sourceFruit juicesJars of baby food - Brian Jackson, Ph.DSweet potatoes, carrots, green beansRice cerealsChicken - feed grown with synthetic pesticides

The Health Dangers of Arsenic

Gastrointestinal problemsSkin discoloration or lesions, including hyperkeratosisChronic fatigue syndromeLong-term exposure increases risk of Various cancersHigh blood pressureDiabetes Reproductive problems

SpirulinaHelped Save Millions from Arsenic Poisoning

Much of the Bangladesh water supply is loaded with arsenic.Bangladeshi researchers conducted a three-month-hospital-based study, where spirulina was given to 33 patients while 17 received placebo doses. 82 percent of those taking spirulina showed tremendous improvement.

Candida

Spirulina has been shown to encourage and support the growth of healthy bacterial flora in our gut,which can help keep Candida overgrowth under control.

HIV and AIDS

Spirulina has been shown to help inactivate the human immunodeficiency virus associated with HIV and AIDS

Protein Isolated From Blue-Green Algae Inactivates HIVA newly discovered protein called cyanovirin-N inactivates the human immunodeficiency virus in vitro.The virucidal protein was isolated and sequenced by a multicenter team at the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland.

Lowers Stroke Risk

A dosage of 180mg/kg of spirulina had a protective effect on the brain and nervous system of rats exposed to high amounts of free radicals, compared to rats not given the spirulina before the experiment. This lab test shows the promising effect of spirulina on stroke prevention -- Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology in India

CANCERAccording to a study done in China selenium-infused spirulina inhibited the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Spirulina and Eyes/ARMD

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) a leading cause of blindness today is on the rise. SPIRULINA and CATARACTS Additionally, xanthophylls may be effective in preventing cataracts.Spirulina provides 3,750 to 6,000 mcg zeaxanthin per serving size (3 grms)

Spirulina and Type 2 DiabetesReducing systemic inflammation. (Insulin resistance has come to be associated with a state of systemic low-grade inflammation.)Favourably altering lipid profile by reducing serum triglycerides and increasing HDL.Improving vasodilatation which has benefits for diabetics, as well as for those with hypertension and cardiovascular disease

Spirulina and LiverPrevents the build up of triglycerides in Inhibits lipid peroxidationReduces liver inflammationProtects liver from damage by heavy metals, like lead and mercurySpirulina and BrainTwo studies (one in theJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the other in theBritish Journal of Nutrition) showed that Spirulina reduces platelet aggregation, reducing risk for thromboembolism.Spirulina was found to have the highest neuroprotective effect, possibly due to its ability to squelch free radicals and reduce inflammation.

SPIRULINA AND BRAINAnd in anOregon State University studyof rats that had induced strokes, the group fed spirulina showed brains lesions that were 75 percent smaller than those in control groups.Oxidative stress is one major source of inflammation, and in brain, it can result in loss of dopamine neurons and lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinsons and Alzheimers. An enzyme complex called NADPH oxidase has been shown to play a role in these diseases, and the phycocyanin in spirulina can suppress NADPH oxidase, lowering risk for these age-related brain diseases

SPIRULINA AND BRAIN Spirulina were found to reverse the inflammation that can lead to diminished neurogenesis (production of new neurons), which is another factor in degenerative diseases of the brain

HEAVY METALS

Spirulina can bind with heavy metals in the body and help remove themNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)

SAFE DURING PREGNANCYThe high concentration of protein and iron makes it ideal during pregnancy, after surgery, or anytime the immune system needs a boost.RADIATION Emerging evidence suggests that it binds with radioactive isotopes and may be useful for radioactivityexposureor radiation therapy.
