Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 This is a list of iodine in food from the Graves_support files. (It originally came from a site discussing iodine and skin acne.) I've also seen a Danish origin list posted on Mediboard, with slightly different values, but this is the one I've used. Apparently dairy has iodine from the disinfectant used during milking.
