• We don’t eat enough eggs, fish and sea vegetables
• We have reduced our consumption of iodized salt
• Bromine exposure; this is found in baked goods, plastics, soda, medications and pesticides.
• Fluoridated drinking water
• soil depletion

Other things low iodine can effect are dry mouth, dry skin, fibromyalgia, depression, weight gain and reduced alertness.

I love the Sea Seasonings Sea Salt with Sea Veges and use in place of regular sea salt at least once per day.  1/4 tsp = 370 mcg of  iodine.  There are some brown pieces in the salt but does not alter the taste of your food.  As with any food or supplement too much of a good thing can apply. The RDA for iodine is 150-290 micrograms per day (very low in my opinion, set only for the prevention of goiters).  1000 mcg’s = 1 mg.  The average daily Japanese consumption of iodine is 5-13,000 micrograms or 5-13 mg per day!  I can’t recommend the right level for you, I would work with your naturopathic Dr. and get tested if you suffer from low thyroid or have any of the symptoms above.
