Iodine Deficiency According to Dr.

[Guest guest]

I want to share two short paragraphs that I ran across.  Dr. writes:"Indeed, iodine deficiency is on the upswing, having quadrupled since the 1970s, with 11% of the U.S. population now severely iodine deficient (National Health and Nutrition Education Survey, or NHANES). Because thyroid function cuts across so many facets of health, iodine deficiency can also exert wide-ranging health effects, from weight gain, to cholesterol abnormalities, to increased risk for heart disease. While having adequate iodine is only one part of an overall

program of thyroid and heart health, it is an important part."

While the second paragraph is true, the statement in the first paragraph

that 11% of U.S. population being severely iodine deficient is

questionable. Dr Brownstein has tested a lot of people and it appears that

virtually everyone is deficient, and probably a larger number severely.

The reason for this is that iodine was pretty much removed from the food

supply, combined with the fact that we now live in a bath of toxic halide

chemicals (bromides, chlorine, fluoride) what constantly assault the body

and displace what little iodine people are getting. Only with sufficient

iodine supplementation can the body begin to displace the halides and to

replace iodine properly on the cell receptors.
