The rage for it seems to have tamed down a bit, but about 12 years ago my husband and I started using it daily. I thought it gave me energy, who knows. Then I read an alarming medical article that said smokers and former smokers (that's me) must not use it, as it causes an increase in lung cancer. Whether or not that is true, I opted to not take the risk and quit using Spirolina.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-86152643514148253672008-05-28T23:28:00.000-07:002008-05-28T23:28:00.000-07:00This is a great shot, with the two shadows and all...This is a great shot, with the two shadows and all!
