Radioactive Iodine affecting thyroid?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, did anyone see Chanel 4 news tonight? They were talking about how

much radioactive iodine is allowed in drinking water and I was surprised that in

this country U.K. we are allowed 500 bq which stands for bequerrels (don't know

if this is how you spell it but that how is sounds, bq abbreviated)in our

drinking water. They started talking about in Japan now the radioactive iodine

is in their drinking water and a baby under one years of age shouldn't drink tap

water with under 100 bq in it and an adult shouldn't drink tap water in Japan

with 200 bq of radioactive iodine in it (radioactive iodine is measured in bq in

the tap water). So in this country we are allowed radioactive iodine three times

higher here and we haven't even had a nuclear explosion! Has anyone ever read

anything about the link between disease of the thryroid with a connection

between radioactive idodine, does anyone know what the present measurement is of

radioactive idodine in our drinking water? It seems a bit strange. Ann

I think you'll find it's the upper limits that are the issue, see the article

above. This of course is how they kill of your thyroid gland if you are

dangerously over active, with RAI and how they confirm Graves (overactive

thyroid) disease (RAI uptake test. We know how the doctors say that the RAI

stays in the thyroid gland and doesn't get in to other organs, when there are

plenty of studies that shows that isn't the case.
