10 Benefits Of Eating Kelp
Kelp Benefit #1: Decreased Methane Gas Emissions
From production of meat to milk, cows feed a large population of people. Despite our large reliance on cows, they are one of the largest producers of methane. Too much methane is not good for our environment. The greenhouse gas traps heat in the ozone layer contributing to global warming. It is also important to note, methane is 21 times more potent at trapping heat from the sun than carbon dioxide, making it a deadly contributor to climate issues.
This is where kelp comes into play. Cows produce methane through their farts. Research has tested numerous different cow feeds that would decrease gas produced from the cows. Current research has shown, with just adding 2% of kelp into the cow feed, methane emissions could reduce methane emissions by 99%. This is huge for farmers who are now being required to find ways to decrease methane production on their farms or face being shut down.
