A member asked:
I do not have hyperthyroid or hypothyroid problems nor graves' disease.... if i take kelp will i lose weight? i'm 5'6 and 190 i'm overweight
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The only way kelp could help is if you are hypothyroid due to iodine deficiency. No pill can help you lose weight unless you eat less ; exercise more> crash diets seldom help; find a diet you can follow for years such as dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian diet- see http://bit.Ly/1dhw9ht.
