Iodine found in damaged tree leaves around the globe

Excerpt:
"So what is happening?

1. Iodine is entering the leaf via rainfall. The Iodine may come from the oil fields of Louisiana and the Gulf, or may be produced in the form of radioactive Iodine from the ruins of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex.

2. An excess oxidizing agent is also present, in the air from ozone, or in the rain from more water soluble PANs (peroxyacyl nitrates ), from the BP oil spill and/or the Louisiana sinkhole.

3. Together they show the blue-black colors where starch is present in the leaf.

There is no easy way to determine how much iodine is coming from the oil disasters in the Gulf area vs. from Fukushima. But it cannot be caused by burning ethanol in cars. It must be coming from one or both of these environmental catastrophes."

I know this isn't directly iodine supplementation related but it was such an odd iodine story I had to post it. Obviously the environmental catastrophes behind it are terrible but I wonder if there might be a silver lining if it means more iodine in the soil as a result? Tweet
