“I don't think you want to do excess iodine I am NOT a fan of lugol's iodine solution if you do the calculations one or two drops of lugol's is a milligram plus of iodine which is a whole order of magnitude more iodine that I'm talking about getting for day I don't think humans should be getting milligram quantities of iodine per day I think it's too much and there's some evidence that it may raise TSH that it will change thyroid physiology potentially negatively there are some I believe observational studies suggesting that higher doses of iodine are associated with more Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis I think if we put too much iron hunter could be a really bad thing so I would not over supplement with iodine”

Conflict Watch
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
“you should not be using Google's iodine that is way too concentrated for your thyroid you don't need a thousand micrograms of iodine in a day we can talk about how much you need it's probably between a hundred and two hundred three hundred micrograms of iodine more than that it's not a good thing”
“more and more people I at least hear this colloquially are supplementing with iodine and you can easily give your body too much iodine. Lugal's iodine is very very concentrated iodine and it's it's frankly almost toxic for humans. I've seen people supplement with lugals and send their TSH through the roof.”
