Guess we needed to reach back in the vault for an iodine slide.
Well just remember YMMV. This article caused an increase in iodine supplementation. Snag is without blood tests you don't know your iodine level. And it's very difficult to measure your daily burn rate, but it's much less than a single tablet, yet bottle says 1 daily. Humans iodine storage capacity is quite small, and iodine's main function by orders of magnitude is producing Thyroid Stimulating Hormone in the thyroid gland. The bodies preferred method for dealing with too much iodine is to ramp up TSH in the thyroid. If you don't have congestive heart failure, and arent inform, it's ok in the short run, as your body doesn't respond to TSH like other hormones. However, your metabolism will eventually increase, your stress levels will rise, your temper will get short and over the top. Eventually, your eyes will start to bulge out like Rodney Dangerfield.
Doing this long enough will lead to one of three thyroid problems. Hypothyroid, where the thyroid no longer produces enough, hyper thyroid, where your thyroid gets stuck making too much, and of course thyroid cancer.
The article mentions none of this.
Unchecked hyper thyroid will eventually lead to heart damage.
