1) More micronutrients have been measured in sea cucumber which has been processed for sugars, and they found high levels of Cadmium (CD).  This has not been measured in lyophilized Sea Cucumber.
糖干海参被检测出更多的营养素，包括高浓度的镉(CD), 但是镉没有在冻干海参中被发现。
2) This outcome were only measured in one sample.  The amount of the ingredients could vary compared to the type of processing, fishing grounds and season of the fishing.
