“This is dangerous as it could damage the thyroid gland”
Not likely. Iodine is a necessary nutrient. A large share of the population are deficient in it.
But people who have Hyperthyroidism could be negatively affected by it.
To: smokingfrog
The reason
Potassium Iodine is used is to combat
radioactive iodine.
Radioactive iodine will only affect one organ of the body -- the thyroid gland (which is a center of control of metabolism).
That is because the thyroid is the only organ that has tissues with iodine pumpers.
The Potassium Iodine displaces the radioactive iodine -- that is how it works.
Since what has been initially released (that I am aware of) is radioactive iodine and celsium, the potassium iodine will protect the body from the radioactive iodine.

Kelp works too, filled with natural iodine. FWIW.

Did you say “Just in case” or “Just a case”?? Cuz, you know, a case really might not be enough if the exposure goes on too long... Better safe than sorry.

Gotcha beat...glass in hand. To think all these years I've staved off the effects of radioactive contamination by drinking wine ... damn I'm good. All this time I thought I was doing it for my heart.

Heck of a lot easier to find in large quantities right now than iodine tablets, and what the heck can you do with iodine tablets when this all turns out to be a media-generated scare? I know what I can do with a s-load of wine!!

Thank You VERY much Froggy. My wife has been driving me nuts trying to get me to eat these terrible tasting "seaweed" concoctions to "clean the radiation" from my body. ASSuming of course that I have radiation in my body.
This latest Japan catastrophe has seen her intensify her efforts.....gag gag puke!
I just emailed her the article and link.
