This seaweed can impart flavour to foods without adding excess fat or sugar, making it a calorie-saving alternative to richer ingredients. In addition, wakame contains a compound called fucoxanthin that can potentially stimulate fat burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGENERATING CELLS, SKIN AND ELASTICITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWholefood Nutritional Powerhouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced Combination of Minerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAids The Skin In Regenerating Cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat Source of Vitamins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-Cancer Properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes Elasticity Antioxidants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinerals and vitamins aren't the only thing scientists have found in this brown seaweed. It is said that chemists in Japan have discovered that wakame contains a compound, fucoxanthin, that seems to reduce the accumulation of fat in animals. Fucoxanthin gives wakame its brownish appearance and aids in photosynthesis. This compound appears to stimulate fat oxidation and encourages the liver to produce more DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid that helps reduce the bad cholesterol associated with heart disease and obesity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Cancer properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWakame also seems to play a role in the prevention of cancer. A 2003 article in \"Breast Cancer Research\" reported that the sea vegetable is also rich in iodine. In a previous Japanese study on breast cancer, this trace element was found to suppress, and even kill mammary tumors. It is speculated that the iodine in wakame and other seaweeds that are so prevalent in Japanese cuisine are responsible for the relatively low breast cancer rate in both human males and females in Japan. This hypothesis is based on the observed increase in breast cancer rates among Japanese women who turned to a Western - style diet with less seaweed intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make no claims that this will cure you or your animals in any way shape or form.
