Dusting off that old iodine history blog...

It's about time I dust off this old blog...I've been inactive for a while with the exception of the periodic brew posting. All that I can say is that when something starts to feel like work, it's time for a break! I doubt that I'll ever be as active as I once was, after all, my "discovery" phase re: iodine supplementation is long over. I have contributed a great deal to our understanding of iodine, not only through my personal history, but with my research. I have lots more iodine history coming your way, in the meantime Ill ease myself back into blogging with this simple offering:

HUNGRY???!!

 

 

 

 

 

Let's go to the Iodine Grill! If we can... I doubt that it still exists. Can anyone from Columbia, South Carolina let me know?

I  believe that the Iodine Grill was named as such because of the fact that it was located in South Carolina, "the Iodine State", not because of the iodine content of it's offerings. haha! A true iodine grill would offer emphasize seafood, seaweed and produce from iodine-rich soils...

A Lugol's cocktail perhaps?

Another ebay score, a matchbook cover of the "Iodine Grill"
circa 1920s, 1930s:


 

My new favorite restaurant that no longer exists! The Iodine Grill, Columbia, South Carolina, the Iodine State

           

Hmmm, they specialized in spaghetti? That reminds

me that a carb-heavy diet can result in an increased iodine requirement:
