Algae: Ancient Food Source to a Modern Nutritional-Energy Bargain
FRESH-WATER ALGAE, "The Energy and Health Givers," have been eaten by man for centuries. Recently, they have been reported by many scientists and anthropologists as the most likely group of high-protein-containing organisms to provide modern man with sufficient amounts of nutriments for future survival. These writers, however, have not themselves been consumers of algae (pronounced algee); thus, an entirely accurate account of the present uses of algae has not appeared to date in the literature. The real benefits which algae can provide to modern man, when eaten on a daily basis in 1- to 3-g amounts, (3,000 mg.) have been overlooked in available literature. Yet, these highly efficient microscopic photosynthesizers can actually provide the necessary life force modern man needs to maintain a sustained "sense of well being" and health energy."
