“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.

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.

OK So red wine goes with beef and Nuclear Meltdown. And white goes with chicken and bird flu. And gin and tonic is for blood pathogens. Now we just need to find something cured by beer and I'll be all stocked up for the Armageddon party.

Look for in the next few days, John (Heinz) Kerry producing a report that swigging bottles of ketchup will negate the effects of radiation poisoning.

I’m glad I can’t take iodine. (per doctor) Gives me a good excuse to drink. :-)

Now if the subject was Bulgars, I could probably trust their scholarly pronouncement. As it is radioactivity poisoning, I will have to trust scientists schooled in the experience and literature regarding the prevention of radiation sickness.

Thank you my dear friend Smoking Frog. We are radiation immune as we consume a lot of red wine. Just as a back up we went to the health food store and got some Kelp capsules but the wine is a lot more enjoyable.

I’m convinced. No further evidence needed. Another reason to stock up on plenty of red wines.
