Really I'm quite fed up because it seems that you read one thing is good for
you and then along comes something else to say that it is not! I did the
suggested iodine test (a patch on the skin) and it was absorbed in seven
hours. This is supposed to indicate that I am low on iodine and as I have
one or two symptoms that would seem to support this I am now taking a
supplement of it. I have to say that I have far more energy than I did and
feel much better, but the weight thing is still a problem, as I have to eat
next to nothing to lose it. Even then it doesn't seem to work. I am
getting to the stage where I am going to use *no* supplements at all but
make juice. Mind you, I've read that even that is not as good as eating
fruit! You can't win! Dee

Subject: another interesting site on iodine, was Re: CS>low sodium on blood
test- now iodine again - OT
Here is another site (it does mention iodine in other body tissues than
the thyroid gland, and mentions iodine for fibrocystic breast disease
though it says nothing about breast cancer)

It may be harmful to take more iodine than is typically consumed per day
(160 to 600 micrograms [mcg]) from table salt. Daily intake of 2,000 mcg
iodine may be toxic, particularly in people with kidney disease or
tuberculosis.
