"Koreans have enjoyed the health benefits of seaweed soup throughout most of its 5000 year history. For Koreans living all over the world, seaweed soup is a must for all pregnant women and students. Seaweed is amazingly effective at stimulating healthy milk production in nursing moms. Seaweed is also an excellent blood cleanser and is believed to support optimal brain function, making it a staple for Korean students, especially the night before an important exam."
