Only the fakes are a health hazard. I don't know what the hell they make fake fat choy from. All I can say is they don't taste like the old fat choy we have.
I don't think so. The research according to Wikipedia is attributed to Takenaka in 1998. He was apparently researching the real alga, and discovered an amino acid toxic to nerve cells that is linked to dementia.
I never knew until tonight when I was trying to find a Google image of fat choy.
