The Seaweed study
Over the last twenty years Australians have slowly adopted seaweed in their lives by eating it, getting seaweed face wraps and even having seaweed in their shampoo.
This year the University of Wollongong has commissioned a study to find out the effects of seaweed on the metabolism of overweight people and those who suffer from Psoriasis.
Our Producer Jesse Begley spoke with Lauren Roach research assistant and PHD candidate on the seaweed study they are about to launch.
