finchen,
Women need iodine far more than men do. Iodine is vital for the breasts, ovaries, uterus & hormones.
In men, iodine is vital for the prostate & testicles. Please show your father our testimonials for "Prostate" to see how terribly HORRIBLE prostate problems can get without iodine. Iodine cured my own prostate problems. So I agree with FiveToedSloth.
Every cell in our body requires iodine for the immune system to kill fungus, cancers, bacteria & more. IMO cancers do not occur in people who are iodine sufficient,
