Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Vishen Lakhiani arguing that sea moss is harmful: the speaker claims sea moss contains carrageenan (described as a synthetic food additive used to make foods creamy) and that carrageenan and sea moss damage the gut lining, which prevents absorption of minerals and makes sea moss equivalent to processed foods in harm. The speaker frames this from personal experience while vegan.

Sea moss might be the worst supplement you could ever take if you want to get your minerals. When I was a vegan, I was all into sea moss. Problem is, sea moss is a natural source of carrageenan. Carrageenan is a synthetic food additive that they use to make things creamy. Unfortunately, carrageenan and sea moss cause damage to the lining of your gut. When I was a vegan, I would have said, but there's all kinds of minerals in sea moss. It doesn't matter if there are minerals in a food if your body can't absorb them because the food damaged the lining of your gut. So you can throw out the sea moss just like you throw out the processed food products. They're the same thing.
