Today I loaded the family up on iodine. It's a good thing regardless, but we're also traveling near the east palastine train disaster, and iodine is one of our protections against dioxins (source).
Thing to do: make sure you always buy iodized salt, never kosher salt (no iodine). A family member had that bad salt for two years; went iodine deficient, and turned into a 160 heart rate at rest, and nearly died (thyroid storm). Iodine everyone!!
Yikes, safe travels, fren. But I recently read that table salt has lots of other bad things (chemicals) added to it so maybe consider getting your iodine a different way?
Yes iodized table salt is bad. It is processed. But you need your iodine. What I do is take sea salts or Himalayan salts, and supplement with iodine each day or each week. IMHO that is the best. Lugol's drops, Kelp daily pills, or Sea Iodine weekly pills will do. Get your iodine so you'll be safe.
Alright, thank you. I had thought the himalayan had iodine, but apparently not. I'm familiar with Lugols, but to be honest, never thought they were for ingesting.
