I’ll just pick one item to address, because I think it’s an important one to rebut and I don’t feel like writing at length.
Because iodine is added to salt in North America, we are what is known as an “iodine replete” society. We get *more* than enough iodine through our salt and salted foods, as well as through our high consumption of dairy products. (Iodine deficiency is *only* a problem in other parts of the world where seafood is not a staple and the mineral is not added back in to the food supply.)
So. Please be aware, other readers, that if you take iodine supplements on top of what you already consume in our salt/food supply, you risk damaging your thyroid. Hashimoto’s disease is the most common thyroid disorder on the continent, and is almost exclusive to iodine replete regions.
