I totally agree and I have wavered back and forth on my understandings of Iodine and fluoride and still lost. I think fluoride is dangerous in the chemical/inorganic form, but from our food it is okay. I guess I may have a hard time understanding since most of my water throughout my life has been UN-fluoridated. As for iodine, I grew up a fisherman's daughter so I have consumed plenty of iodine. I love seafood still, had grilled sockeye salmon for lunch!
