Re: Seaweed, Iodine & Bromine

We probably BREATHE more bromide than we eat, but you can't really know what sources of bromine you have in your diet, either. There are more contaminants in your environment than you realize.AnneOn Mar 28, 2011, at 5:50 AM, Nevada wrote:

One of the arguments for taking more iodine is that the Japanese get over 13 mg a day in their diet due to consuming seaweed. However, since seaweed also contain bromine and bromine and iodine compete with one another wouldn't taking less iodine suffice if a person is supplementing with iodine and avoiding all sources of bromine in their diet?

Bromine is in cordless phones, computer monitors, tv's, cars, cell phoones, cell phone towers, carpeting, new furniture, clothing, and the list goes on and on. You can't get away from it so our bodies are always detoxing. Always........... from IllinoisFrom: Anne Seals <anneseals@...>iodine Sent: Mon, March

That is all very interesting. [i tried searching for the proof but found no

studies]

Something to think about though. So does all this Bromine/bromide build-up show

up in a hair analysis?

Bromine is used as a flame retardant and goes by much more complicated names

which of course I cannot remember. . It's there. It's also used golf courses

and strawberries. It is in Mountain Dew and some other soft drinks as

Brominated Vegetable Oil.

In order for it to show up in a hair analysis (if it does at all...and I'm not

sure of that) you would have to be excreting it first, and that would be a good

thing. Iodine can help excretion.

whole wheat flours. I sent a list a mile long of everyday items that contain bromine but I don;t think it ever made it to the list. from IllinoisFrom: "jprocure@..." <jprocure@...>iodine Sent: Tue, March 29, 2011 8:01:19 AMSubject: Re: Seaweed,

I don't know of any natural-food bakeries that use brominated

flours. Whole Foods' bakeries definitely do not use brominated

flours. Check the labels of anything you buy. If it's brominated flour it

should say so. Many labels will announce no bromides.
