Oh please, everyone here is Perfect, huh? Thinking about opinions and other points of views, too bad so many won't take blinders off a bit to think outside these closed boxes. There are many opinions on just about everything and some come off so emphatic on what THEY think. No room in their minds for other thoughts.

I still believe we are (many) iodine deficient and I don't use white table salts either and don't consume a LOT of sea foods and vegetables and do believe what many of the other than pharma world researchers are working on. Thanks to them.

You are unlikely to be deficient in iodine if you live in the US and eat a varied diet. You probably would not have any symptoms if you are not getting enough. It would take measurement of urinary iodine to make the diagnosis.

Sea salt contains iodine. Hain and Morton make versions that are also fortified with iodine.

You can get iodine from some breads and cereals, milk, cheese, meat, and eggs. Just a cup of yogurt and 3 ounces of turkey breast will provide about half the daily requirement. If you eat fish, cod, tuna, and salmon are good sources.

Most people do not need to supplement with iodine. Women who are planning to get pregnant or who are pregnant should take a prenatal vitamin with 150 micrograms of iodine.
