The variability of iodine content is a problem if you dont drink that much milk or avoid milk completely due to intolerance. It would be hard to get enough with eating a lot of cheese because cheese loses a significant amount of its iodine content because of water loss from processing.Assuming you guys are avoiding silicon dioxide then most iodized salt seems to be out of the question.
So, then, how do you go about getting sufficient iodine?
The iodine content in milk seems very variable.
Eggs have pretty consistent iodine content of ~25 mcg per egg. So depending how many eggs you eat that can make a difference.
Seafood
That’s something to look for.Coarse salt in Argentina is fortified with iodine and, for obvious reasons, doesn't contain silicon dioxide. Try looking for fortified coarser salt and using a pepper mill.
That is a great thread. Thanks matey! I must say that when I did do a macro mineral top up, when I was turning 50 y/o, and used Lugol's iodine daily up to 50 mg daily for 6 months, then tapered down for another six months to the one drop @day, we were living/drinking with pure rain water in a fairly pristine environment (ie- no fluoride in drinking/cooking water and no chlorine too...). The Halide group and displacement of iodine by bromine/fluorine I believe is totally valid re @burtlancast s postings referred to in the above thread from 7 years ago. I rarely eat bread for many years, and mostly had non fluoridated water, and relatively low PUFA diet. So back to the aspects of trial and error, experimentation, as maybe some folks can only do small amounts over long periods of time.Ray Peat On Iodine
Ok, so many people is talking about iodine now. A user called visionsofstrenght over the old peatarian.com forum posted this, so I'm copying it here as well. Original thread (http://beesandbutterflies.org/52426/iod ... 426#q52426) Here are the Peat references on iodine: The Myth of Iodine...raypeatforum.com
I could not pinpoint this. No doubt cranberries from coastal areas are high in iodine. But the largest single producer is Wisconsin. Where does the iodine come from there?
