That might be why. But in seriousness, I'm not so OK with feeding animals bromoform or seaweed for that matter if that's a common component.
- AlanYx 6y agoI agree with you. The EPA classifies it as a Group B2 probable human carcinogen, and it has been shown to cause liver and intestinal tumors in animals. I wonder if the reason the industry is pushing red seaweed supplementation rather than direct bromoform supplementation is that the latter might require greater evidence of safety (being essentially a medication rather than a foodstuff) before being allowed?
