Or rather, Spirulina, blue-green algae microscopic greens. If you are still confused, how about Green Mush? It’s a dietary supplement that’s been all the rage for the last few years. People have even been feeding it to their rats. There is actually quite a bit of people buying Green Mush specifically for their rats which has prompted me to write about it.
There is no question that spirulina has some great qualities and health benefits but in the last few years, there have been some alarming studies claiming neurotoxins, muscle breakdown one most recently, liver cancer.
These findings are terrifying especially since this supplement has been recommended for rats for years and people will probably continue to do so, it takes just that one container of contaminated Green Mush and your rat will be adversely affected. It’s really not worth the risk. Throw out your Green Mush until more studies prove otherwise, and I don’t mean websites raving about it’s health benefits, I’m talking real scientific studies.
