Does kelp help with weight loss?
Some studies suggest that kelp may help with weight loss, however at the time of writing, consistent research was lacking. What we do know is that kelp has a natural fibre alginate which is often used to thicken foods such as jelly, ice-cream, salad cream and toothpaste. This alginate has also been found to have the ability to bind to, and prevent fat-absorption, meaning in theory it should stop the absorption of fat in the human gut.
