The cattle industry has been hoping to add a red seaweed supplement to livestock feed to reduce methane emissions.
That red seaweed supplement (bromoform) is carcinogenic.
An anonymous comment on the Internet means nothing, but here is a screen shot and the links. Take it as invitation to further research.
Help reduce climate change and reduce your risk of cancer by eating less meat.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.
The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.
One reason is methane.
It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.
However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.
A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.
