In his book, "Iodine, why you need it", dr. David brownstein, md, sites a government survey showing a 50% reduction in adult iodine levels since 1974. After discussing six possible reasons, he concludes, "Depending on the iodine status of our body, my experience has shown the rda for iodine (150mcg/day) is inadequate." his colleague dr. David miller, md, agrees, "The recommended intake of 100-150mcg is perhaps 100 times too low." dr. Guy abraham, md, reporting on his clinical findings, says, "Most patients on a daily intake ranging from 1,250 to 5000mcg of elemental iodine reported higher energy levels and mental clarity." he also notes that a healthy thyroid "Has a protective mechanism, limiting the uptake of peripheral (unneeded) iodine." if you're concerned about too much iodine, please consult your healthcare practitioner. Otherwise, enjoy the abundance of iodine and other minerals this dulse brings you from the sea.
