I realize this is from the source I get my seaweeds from, but I think I would need more information about what "a ton" constitutes, and how it outweighs the health benefits. Feel free to share your knowledge and experience, we can all learn from one another.
"We test our seaweeds for heavy metals and radioactive elements. All seaweeds naturally contain some heavy metals as part of their high mineral content. This is not a health concern, however, because seaweed polysaccharides (algin, fucoidan etc.) have been shown to bind with heavy metals in the digestive tract and carry them out of the body. In fact, seaweeds and seaweed extracts are commonly used to reduce levels of heavy metals in the body. Of course, seaweeds harvested from polluted waters may contain harmful levels of heavy metals, so be careful where you buy them from."

Lol (clears throat). Isn't it also in our rain water, leafy greens and root vegetables? Seems like we could try to mitigate the contaminants we take in by knowing our sources and by fermenting or otherwise preparing them properly, and maybe eating those things with foods that would bind well with contaminates and excrete from our bodies. I dunno, seems like nothing is "pure" anymore; even if you avoided everything you still need air (also contaminated). Anyhow, no one's mandating seaweed (or anything else) on our plates (as if mandates would matter) so to each his own 🤷♀️
what you’ve described will be a sought after skill in the future
I feel like we're here for Such a Time as This. Ready to Stand 🫡

Seaweed is known for having high concentrates of it.
Nettles a bioaccumulator, meaning you better have a good source or itll have high heavy metal counts
