Unlock the Power of Iodine: Essential for a Healthy Body

Did you know that iodine is an essential element? It plays a crucial role in the production of thyroid hormones‚ allowing your body to function optimally. But here's the catch: it's not just your thyroid gland that relies on iodine. Other organs in your body need it too‚ for normal functioning.

Shocking studies have revealed a strong link between low iodine intake and fibrocystic disease of the breast (FDB) in women and laboratory animals. To control and prevent FDB‚ it's recommended to consume a minimum of 0.1mg/kg body weight/day of iodine. So‚ for a 50 kg woman‚ that's 5 mg of iodine daily. And here's an eye-opening fact: 80 years ago‚ a study found that 9 mg of iodide daily was necessary to combat goiter in adolescent girls.

Back in the early 1900s‚ an iodine/iodide solution called Lugol solution was widely used in medical practice. It effectively and safely treated both underactive and overactive thyroid glands. The recommended daily intake of iodine supplementation was 2 to 6 drops of Lugol solution‚ containing 12.5 to 37.5 mg of total iodide. This recommendation was mentioned as recently as 1995 in a book on Pharmaceutical Science.

Multiple studies have provided compelling evidence linking inadequate iodine intake and breast cancer. In stark contrast‚ Japanese women living in Japan consume an average of 13.8 mg of total elemental iodine daily and have one of the lowest risks for breast‚ ovarian‚ and uterine cancer.

But here's a disturbing fact: over the past two decades‚ bromine has replaced iodine in the bread-making process in the USA. Bromine hinders thyroid function and may interfere with iodine's potential anticancer effects on the breast. As a result‚ the risk for breast cancer has skyrocketed from 1 in 20 to 1 in 8‚ increasing by 1% each year.

When it comes to setting recommended daily allowances (RDA) for vitamins and minerals‚ iodine was one of the last essential elements to be included. In 1980‚ the RDA for iodine was established based on its ability to prevent goiter‚ extreme stupidity‚ and hypothyroidism. However‚ the optimal requirement of iodine for the whole human body remains unknown.

Here's an interesting fact: mainland Japanese consume an average of 13.8 mg of iodine daily and are hailed as one of the healthiest people on Earth. And guess what? Lugol solution‚ a tried-and-tested preparation‚ contains 12.5 mg of iodine/iodide in just two drops. That's very close to the average intake of mainland Japanese.

Don't underestimate the power of iodine. It's time to prioritize this essential element for your physical and mental wellbeing.
