Many of us here are consuming over 50mg of Lugols or SSKI daily, some people for years and they are still here.
Most of the Iodine bashing comes from those who bought into poor science.
Best I can suggest is keep exploring and reading and in the end you will need to make your own educated decision. But I am guessing once you start to hear the stories here you will realize the first hand testimonials here in support of Iodine will overcome the regurgitated phobia propagated by mainstream medicine and those that have never used it themselves.
