This is the second in a three-video series. If you missed the previous video, check out Toxins in Blue-Green Algae, Like Klamath Lake AFA, (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxi...
. Stay tuned for The Benefits and Side Effects of Spirulina (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...
