doktorm. is pretty dumb in general but I think in this topic he's made marginally valid points. Spirulina is a pretty common smoothie ingredient if you're looking for a really healthy smoothie (and not a smoothie that is only healthy in that it's not terrible for you).
It is actually really healthy for you, even though its benefits are sometimes overplayed. It's definitely not something that you want to eat exclusively (because it sucks after a while).
no it's not. the health benefits of spirulina are at best marginal and are mostly inconclusive. he's also not even the one who brought up spirulina, joe is.

alec he's posting porn. i told him he was asking for trouble!
edit: btw this topic really sucks. a good 25% of the replies are jokes, then the rest are IM DRINKING SOMETHING: LETS NOT TALK ABOUT IT. if dragon x hadn't been dumb about spinach it'd still be this boring shit.
