Re: Amazing Testimoial

I agree it's an awesome testimonial. Unfortunately it seems it didn't make any impression on the author of the initial post, see part 2 here:

I left a comment which is awaiting moderation, here it is:

“Also, he told me that some important studies to note, one of which was from Sri Lanka (full text of study here). They found that in countries where goiter was prevalent and Iodine was then added to their food, in the subsequent years autoimmune thyroid markers were then found in residents of those countries, implying that Iodine supplementation was causing the increase.”

This study is based on the erroneous assumption that iodized salt is an adequate source of iodine. Please take the time to read this interview with Lynne Farrow, author of The Iodine Crisis. She addresses the issue of iodized salt for one thing:

“because iodine wafts into the atmosphere quickly after the iodized salt is opened, there may be little or no iodine in the iodized salt canister at the back of your pantry. Unfortunately, the government RDA for iodine was based on the assumption that iodine doesn’t disperse. Nobody checked!”

Be sure to to read her article on the iodized salt scam:
