The potassium bromide for fluff was some time ago ushered in to replace iodine which not only produced fluff, but was used by the thyroid gland to make T4 and T3. IIRC, the iodine receptors in the thyroid gland, in the absence of sufficient iodine, will grab on to other halides (bromide, flouride, etc.) and adulterate the gland's ability to produce high quality T4 and T3, thus weakening the immune system. I would love the industry go back to using iodine for the fluff. It would make people's immune systems stronger.
