"In Germany iodized salt can be/ is radioactive because they use Iodine recycled from medical applications etc.!
Additionally, apparently iodization of salt used in commercial products is mandatory (required by law) and virtually all processed products here are said to be iodised. According to the author Dagmar Braunschweig-Pauli who got very sick from this (Graves' disease) and who wrote several books about the subject of 'hyperiodisation', many people's health here as well as in Austria and Switzerland where the same rules apply, is damaged by getting too much Iodine in this manner."

-I believe that this article your friend referred to is a product of someone not educated about iodine. It is similar to all those I read before I decided to supplement with iodine.
I would send her Lynne`s book:)

Germany, Austria, Switzerland are all in the European inland, they have had problems with goiter always.
IMO it is more that the tiny amount of Iodine in the salt (very little is actually taken up, as it is a halogen, storage reduce the contents of iodine over time) is not enough to handle the other halogens. Even if not in bread, or not fluoridatet water, it is everywhere today.

To compare with Norway, hardly anyone use iodized salt anymore (but the animal feed are fortified with kelp / iodine), no fluoride in tapwater, no brominated bread, all kinds of thyroid problems are sky rocketing; hypo in particular, and Graves. To blame this on the iodine,
does not make sense; as we had iodine in concentrate food always, seafood always, iodine treatment of wounds always, until last couple of decades..
After fluoride / bromide the thyroid problems started big time, and mercury etc.
People in general dont see this.

If the salt is fortified with radioactive iodine; it is a different story; but I really doubt this. More like a rumour planted.
