But that doesn’t mean dieters will have to stomach swallowing large amounts of seaweed in order to lose weight. The research team plans to add alginate to foods that are commonly eaten on a daily basis such as bread, yogurt and biscuits. Up to three-quarters of the fat contained within that meal could pass through the body rather than being absorbed.

Dietary fiber in kelp could fight obesity naturally by dramatically reducing the amount of fat absorbed by the body.
