area to number of people fed: each tank is 6m x 3m x 0.2m(said in video), so surface area is 18sq.m.. 40 tanks must have 40 x 18 = 720sq.m.. Say one acre of land is available, 1 acre = 4046sq.m., mass of spirulina = 4046/720 x 4kg = 22kg per day. Say each person needs 1.5kg per day, 6 billion people need 9428571429kg per day, that is 1.697 trillion sq.m., equivalent to 42.380million acres of tropical areas, just slightly bigger than California. California is just nice and hot, but not in Canada.
If the current body of evidence did not exist then the theory you mention would be a basis for experimentation. The experiments have been done, the evidence overwhelming points to the theory of non-degestiable cell membrane in Spirulina as null. There is abundant evidence from experimental observation that the cell membrane/wall of Spirulina (Arthrospira) does indeed break down in the digestive system of humans/mammals/birds/fishes/insects and in-vitro artificial digestive systems.
The website is a BASIC overview of bacteria. You are taking some examples they properly present, and using them out of context. What you have said about LPS is true about the form of LPS found in "Gram-negative pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Pseudomonas, Neisseria, Haemophilus influenzae, Bordetella pertussis and Vibrio cholerae", not Spirulina and the cyanophytes.
Please explain to me why spirulina is an okay food. It is a Gram-negative Bacteria! That means that not only is it hard to break down, but also it has lipopolysaccharides! Whitch act as an endotoxin, and can be deadly!
Please explain to me whyspirulina is an okay food. It is a Gram-Negative Bacteria! That means not onlyis it hard to break down, but also it has lipopolysaccharides! Which acts as an endotoxin and it can be deadly!!
LPS can be deadly only if injected directly into the bloodstream. Much of our intestinal bacterial flora (about 2 pounds in the average human) contains LPS, which does not poison us. Our body has built-in protective mechanisms in place which block LPS. Also, Spirulina LPS is non-toxic, read the scientific literature please.
Wait. That's what I am saying. You can't break down spirulina. There is nowhere on the market right now that has broken cell membrane spirulina. That's why I have an active voice on youtube. I want the market to make broken cell membrane spirulina.
Spirulina cells are easily broken when spray-dried. I original photomicrographs a professor friend of mine at UC Hayward made for me. They clearly show that Spirulina cell membranes "break down" when exposed to digestive juices. Tracking of radiolabeled Spirulina clearly shows Spirulina is digested and assimilated, there are published studies describing this in detail. Several researchers have all achieved similar results. What evidence do you have to support your theory?
If spirulina cells where easily broken down when spray dried then we wouldn't need to wash our hands. What happens is, is that the cell membrane loses a precentage of it's vapor making the cell membran look shriveled up or even translucent. But when water is added, and specifically because it uses sunlight + carbon (From the air) for energy it is able to regenerate the full size. Parts such as the Periplasmic space will be destroyed. But it's layer of LPS will stay.
The LPS protects the bacteria from Bile salts, and other toxic molecules in the GI tract. Its also barrier to lysozyme and many antimicrobial agents. You can go to doubleyou doubleyou doubleyou dot textbookofbacteriology dot N3t /endotoxin dot html for much of my supporting evidence.
You are trying to extrapolate something from a textbook instead of looking at results from actual experimentation and observation. The website you mention is not evidence for the argument you are making, therefore supporting my earlier contention that your theory is rather humourous.
What you are saying is NOT supported from the website. The website is a general discussion of bacteria. It is focused only on certain types of pathogens, and says very little about cyanophytes. The procaryotes are nearly as diverse as the eucaryotes, with even greater differences in nutritional profiles. For instance how much phycobiliverdin is found in E. coli? Or, when is the last time someone got a Spirulina infection? Negative answers on both, they are very much different organisms.
It doesn't matter about the nutrient values. I didn't say Ecoli has phycobiliverdin, I said that it has protein, and vitamin B-12. What I am saying is that all of these different types of bacteria have something in common. Their outer, and the cell membrane. That is what I am speaking for. If you can't break down the cell membrane then what good is the nutrient complex? I say the solution is to break the cell membran so this Cyanobacteria is digestible.
Currently there are over 200 published scientific studies establishing the safety and bioactivity of eating Spirulina. Spirulina has GRAS status with a review made by FDA scientists. Eating Spirulina is shown is multiple studies to partially block NADPH and COX2 enzymes and to stimulate hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and differentation. How do you explain that?
The big words mean that Spirulina is VERY good for you, that is why most people should be eating about ten grams a day. It can help your heart and brain last longer and the entire body work better.
@rhensontollhouse Thanknyou for your explanations. Had the pleasure of running into this guy yesterday and he hit me with such anomosity I was not prepared to answer him. But you have and I understand a great deal more about Spirulina.
The whole cells of blue-gree algae and lipopolysaccharides isolated from these cells were shown to stimulate the production of macro-(mainly) and microglobulin antibodies in rabbits. The macro- and microphage indices in rabbits increased significantly after the injection of LPS isolated from blue-green algae 24--48 hours before infecting the animals with a virulent Y. pseudotuberculosis strain.
The paper by Besednova NN, et al shows that not only is Spirulina LPS non-toxic to rabbits when injected in small quantity, it blocked infection of rabbits by bubonic plague. Something to think about.
There is evidence that Spirulina LPS activates portions of the immune system through the Peyers Patches, affecting cellalr activation, signaling and cystokine activity along with a whole cascade of other beneficial effects.
In other words, it is powerfully good for your immune system.
The cystokine production causes inflamation. I don't want to debate spirulina's nutrition complex. It has the same as ecoli, Acinetobacter baumannii, meningitis. The problem is not that it is Not very complex in nurtient value. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LPS PROTECT THE CELL FROM BEING DISTROYED! The market needs a strain of spirulina (Preferably Maxima) that has it's cell membrane broken down. You can't eat ECOLI!
Cytokines also supress inflammation, these processes are much more complex than you are aware. You are also ignorant regarding the nutriitonal profile comparing spirlina to coliforms. Making such strong contentions without data, yet again.
It is the cell membrane structure that I am comparing. Gram-Negative Bacteria have a simulare cell membrane structure. And yes it's true spirulina and ecoli both are a complete protein, they both have vitamin B 12. Did you go to the website where I source my information from: Doubleyou Doubleyou Doubleyou dot textbookofbacteriology dot N3t / endotoxin dot html
Spirulina (Arthrospira) and E. coli are related like a human and butterflies are related. Humans and butterflies have similar cell structures, brains, eyes and mouths and stomaches, but many major differences.
What's being debated is the fact that because spirulina can't be broken down by eatting it (AS A FOOD). The reason why is because of the cell membrane. When you relate humans and butterflies as food your right they are both digestible. What is your point?
nothing is being debated here. you just go on every spirulina video and spear your crap that "spirulina doesnt break down in stomach/intestines" if that was a fact that those malnourished kids in india would not get well.
No I said that it is hard to break down. maybe for people who have been starving since they where born are able to break down a langer amount of spirulina. I don't know I just want someone to tell me why this is an okay food. I emphasize it with "!" marks because I spent 45 usd on this stuff and I want to know that it is as super as everyone says it is.
I was just sent a document from cyanotech proving that spirulina is indeed a Gram-Negative Bacteria, and indeed that it has a thick outer layer (Membrane). I can officially give you my speculation, and the theory behind it. Not if you do have spirulina as a food source I recommend you make better use of it and not consume anything close to the daily recommended dosage. The reason why poor Indians who consume spirulina P. gain weight is because the bacteria somehow gets into the human cells
I do not know what are your sources or how you do interpret the data of Cyanotech . Arthrospira platensis, pacifica, or maxima have a high degree of digestability and the membranes are well attacked by the digestive enzymes .
Concerning the human food , they are very efficient to lower the malnutrition (see Riplex Fox) .
Your interventions on the forum are counter truth .
The lipopolysacchrides protect it from bile salts (Enzymes). I have been given the profile of the different types of simple sugars. Just like eatting salmonella or ecoli the spirulina is not broken down. But just like ecoli if it is you get a hudge nutrition profile. The outer layer needs to be broken down. And it's not only the digestibility of it. It's that when digested (Just like ecoli) the lipopolysaccharides act as an edotoxin. I have testimony of this happening to someone.

You are taking something written about specific pathogenic procaryotic bacteria and think it applies to all prokaryotes. It does not. The LPS of coliforms has significantly different structure than that of blue-green alga. Even within the blue-green algae the structure can be quite different. The polysaccharide change has a great variety, and the lipids vary greatly from one species to the next. The type of lipids present has a great deal to do with the potential toxicity or lack thereof.
@rhensontollhouse Yea, I have a list of the simple sugars in spirulinas' lipopolysacchride. I'll message you the info I got from Cyanotech on scientist! And I'll give the link to anyone else who responds "Give me the link" on this tread!
I have heard that eating too much single celled organisms can cause gout. Other then that you must remember that yogurt contains bacteria and is considered good food , it help replenish the body's good intestinal bacteria "the flora" . If yogurt bacteria is good for you then why cant algae be good for you?

Do you know what the main separation between animals and plant is? It's the fact that plants have Cyanobacteria in their cell walls, and we have Mitochondria. Both are bacteria but how that started was by survival of the fittest. That's why Spirulina is bad for you. Because the more of it you eat the more plant like (Devolved) you become. That's why vegans and even some vegetarians are always unhealthy. Our niffty brain is a tribute to our original diet witch included animals.
What do you mean by "toxins are only present if other cyanobacteria are present"? Every food has toxins in it. I'm just pointing out ONE in spirulina because it is so easily extracted. Why are you being so argumentative? Are you saying you have the means to change this market? Are you saying there is hope?
I am using spirulina since 1988 , I grew it , the yields are wonderful , the digestibility no problem , the advantages are 99.9 % but drawbacks can happen but combat malnutrition with them is a famous advantage
Please read Spirulina in Human Nutrition and Health , CRC Press (you'll see)

What do you mean by "toxins are only present if other cyanobacteria are present"? Every food has toxins in it. I'm just pointing out ONE in spirulina because it is so easily extracted. Why are you being so argumentative? Are you saying you have the means to change this market? Are you saying there is hope?

I am using spirulina since 1988 , I grew it , the yields are wonderful , the digestibility no problem , the advantages are 99.9 % but drawbacks can happen but combat malnutrition with them is a famous advantage
Please read Spirulina in Human Nutrition and Health , CRC Press (you'll see)

If you have any information on how to grow spirulina at a small scale it would be extremely beneficial.
