I just checked my back issues of Veg. Times and in the August 1995 issue page
18 there is an article on Blue-Green Algae. It refers specifically to algae
from Klamath Lake, produced by Cell Tech( which is described as the largest
supplier), and it questions 'Lake Klamath's water quality and the methods for
testing the algae'. A Dr. Stager is quoted in the article as stating that  '
the blue- green algae found in Klamath Lake contains Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae'.  According to an FDA report 'Aphanizomenon flos-aquae hsa been
found to produce a toxin that is a powerful neuromuscular blocking
agent.'Another aquatic ecologist said'...the water is being infused with
agricultural runoff'  all in all it was not a positive article. Does anybody
have something (besides promos from the company) more recent?
