Over the last 40 years, Iodine deficiency has been exacerbated due to our increasing exposure to bromine, chloride, and fluorine that competitively inhibit and compete with iodine in the body. Iodine deficiency should be considered a national emergency…. Government’s statistics from NHANES show that almost 60% of pregnancy-aged women are suffering from inadequate iodine intake. That's why it's one of the only critical nutrients not reported on nutrient labels.ĭaily recipe for success: In 4 oz of water, take 2 drops of iodine, 1 tsp sea salt, and a little bit of magnesium, selenium, and zinc.David Brownstein MD on Thyroid Health and IodineĪccording to Dr David Brownstein, “Iodine deficiency is occurring at epidemic rates. That's why they switched to delivering it in table salt - so we'd crave the junk food more. Often, our junk food cravings are for the iodine, not the fat/sugar. So we instinctively started grazing for the minerals we need. Americans become woefully iodine deficient. Fluoride also competes with iodine in the thyroid. Sea salt is good by the way, because it has minerals, but it lacks iodine.ġ945: Water fluoridation begins. so a goiter epidemic broke out.īut instead of iodinating flour again, they started iodinating table salt, and ended the goiter epidemic. At the time, flour was the #1 source of iodine in the us. Bromide and iodine compete for uptake in the thyroid. In the early 1900s the US stopped iodinating bread and started using bromide instead. Iodine used to be in our soil a lot more, but we're not replenishing it when it gets depleted. Their thyroid wants halogens and takes what it can, even though bromide isn't ultimately useful. Millions of people who think gluten makes them tired are really getting run down by the bromide.
More iodine = more stable mood, think more clearly, get better sleep. The body, and especially the thyroid, use iodine for more than 160 critical functions. As of 1992, 94% of US was iodine deficient.
