Scientists have found out that there are a very low percentage of breast cancer cases in Japanese women. Statistics show that pre-menopause breast cancer cases of Japanese women is 1/3 of the cases in United States while the post-menopause breast cancer cases is 1/9 of the cases in United States. They believe this is due to the high consumption of seaweed in Japan. 25% of the Japanese food contains seaweed and average daily intake for seaweed is about 6g.
