Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I heard of sea moss awhile ago and been searching for them in supermarket but no luck at all. Therefore I turned to amazon and surprisingly this particular brand has many 5 star reviews so I went ahead and bought this. It look genuine and promising from the packaging. Upon opening the bag, I found bits and pieces of things that were confusing at first. That was only a tiny bit of the sea moss I took out from the bag. I did a little research and read all of the question and answers on the amazon page regarding this product. The seller mentioned that this sea moss originate from Indonesia (previous edited from Philippines) The colorful threads and strings are plastic. It is not surprising at all if these sea moss were farmed near textile factories. These very thin plastic threads are made from melting of plastic and making them into fine threads and then into clothing. The finer transparent plastic threads clings to the sea moss for their life. It is almost impossible to get rid of every single piece. You will see what I mean if you soak it. Also on the packaging ITSELF located on the back states ****** "CAL PROP 65 WARNING". This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.***** This indication is NOT pointing to sea moss causing cancer BUT The substance that is in the sea moss that comes from waste and heavily polluted areas. I have am pointing out what is clearly stated. I LOVE sea moss but this particular brand contains dangerous chemicals that causes cancer. It horrifies me even further because Indonesia is no where near safe from the FUKUSHIMA spill. All of the area of the Pacific ocean contain high level of radiation due to the spill. Sea plants are highly sensitive and will absorb these radiation. That's why sea food from the Pacific ocean are much cheaper compare to the Atlantic. As always do your research and watch out! Better safe than sorry!
