Just gonna drop this here regarding iodine as a "suggestive" dietary guide use. It's suggestive because yall gotta do your own research too. I'm not USDA or the CDC mandating or demanding a guideline for its use, just a dude sharing info.

Why is iodine important?
Well, if you're into TRT, or already actively have natural testosterone levels, or if you are actually XX-chromosome female, excessively high levels of estrogen may cause breast cancer or gynecomastia. Whereas, high levels of testosterone always aromatizes into estrogen, unless of course you take aromatase inhibitors. While the cosmetic side effect of just looking like you have man boobs is kinda off putting, the actual internal side effects can be painful. My community calls them "spicey nips"
The cystic fibrosis angle for iodine deficiency is intriguing too. Some studies show that people who've taken SERMs (Selective estrogen receptor modulators) like nolvadex or raloxifene take quite awhile for their breast tissues to go away. Now, what happens if iodine is added? There's no studies indicating both SERM usage, but the theory makes sense to include both for efficient recovery.
Personally, I like potassium iodine (KI) versus lugol's or iodizied table salt. 1/8 tsp of potassium iodine is roughly 1.4-1.5grams of KI, and since iodine is 127g/mol, it accounts for roughly 76% of the mass of KI. Hence, 1/8 tsp leads to 1.14g of elemental iodine. Way more effective than lugol's or iodized table salt.
Again, i'm just a dude sharing literature.
