Iodine firms up the fat. Because of this, people in china won’t even eat livestock that are not supplemented with extra iodine. They don’t like flabby fat and they know that iodine firms it up!

Also, recently, scientists have discovered that two groups of bacteria are responsible for determining a great many things about the body. They are now saying that Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes can make you fat, or skinny. Firmicutes makes you fat and Bacteroidetes makes you skinny! I researched the ability of these two groups to withstand iodine supplementation; I discovered that Firmicutres are not able to withstand iodine whereas Bacteroidetes spores are supper hardy and can survive iodine. This may be how iodine firms up the fat and leans the body. Iodine is extremely effective against gram positive aerobes ( Firmicutes). This is what we want if we are to drop those unwanted pounds and firm up. Now, iodine is broad spectrum and can kill a wide range of bacteria-good and bad. The good news is, that Bacteroides species spores- gram negative anaerobes- are more resistant to iodine than gram positive bacteria. In the end, the homeostatic balance is in our favor; that is, if our goal is to lose weight.
