Are Women and Men getting enough iodine in their diet ?
- Thread starter river
- Start date
Do you live in the "goitre belt"?

I wonder if you gave every plant a vitamin and multi-mineral pill, like those you get from a chemist shop, would that help?

The amount of iodine you need is not great
290 mcg per day for a breastfeeding woman is the largest requirement.
see http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-QuickFacts/
I wonder why the north west coast is deficient?
added later
The iodine concentration in sea water is less than 1 part per million.
So not much is brought in from sea particles.
Sharks get goitres too.

Kelp is a good source of iodine (1/4 tsp = 389mcg of iodine )
However the best kelp source is from Iceland , why because kelp also absorbs pollutants from the aquatic enviroment
In Iceland the enviroment where the kelp is grown , is sheltered from pollutants better than pacific grown kelp

Also , important for those who have their thyroid removed

Has the awareness of the importance of iodine , especially towards women , been read or investigated by anybody ?
I certainly hope so
I'm allergic to iodine and go into a anaphylactic shock which one time caused me to die. So I must be very careful when I eat shellfish as I can't eat to many without some reaction happening.
Allergic to iodine or allergic to shellfish
You would be unlikely to be sensitive to the amount of iodine in, say, iodized salt.
It is a trace element, with the RDA measured in microgrammes per day.
For anyone living in the goitre belt, the minimal expense of buying the medicated salt might be well worth paying.
A few dollars a year.
Certainly wouldn't do any harm.
Excess Iodine is well tolerated, and simply excreted.
If you buy iodized salt, buy it in small amounts and keep it well sealed.
The iodide will break down into iodine, which will sublimate if left open, reducing the iodine content to zero.
